Starting From Zero: Why I Restarted My Stock Market Teaching Journey ( Shashank Udupa)


Coming back live on YouTube after a long break feels refreshing. This time, however, the journey begins in a new home—on my own channel. Over the last year, many people have messaged me asking for simple, beginner-friendly explanations about the stock market. These weren’t advanced questions; these were very fundamental doubts from people who had absolutely no idea how the stock market works.

That’s when I realised something important. For the past year, my content had gradually shifted into advanced topics like REITs, InvITs, gold instruments, and sovereign gold bonds. But a huge group of new learners had joined me much later. They were asking about subjects I had explained a year ago, but those videos were scattered, outdated, or buried deep in older playlists.

Rather than telling them to “go search for old videos,” I felt it was only fair to rebuild everything from scratch. Everyone deserves a clean, simple, well-structured path to learn investing—even those who joined the journey late. And that is exactly why I'm restarting all the foundational content.


The Plan Moving Forward

To make learning easy and organised, this channel will follow three clear playlists.
The first playlist will focus entirely on stock market basics. This is for people who literally have zero understanding of how investing works. We will start from ground level and build upwards—from basic concepts to practical investing strategies.

The second playlist will focus on personal finance. This will include essential topics like credit cards, money management, behaviour patterns, spending discipline and other life skills that every millennial or young earner needs to know.

The third playlist will be a space for general financial observations. These are the occasional insights I get, my personal takes on topics like buying versus renting a house, understanding economic behaviours, or analysing certain money trends happening around us.

To maintain consistency, I’m committing to two videos every week. Every Thursday at 9 PM, a stock market basics episode will be released. Every Saturday at 9 PM, a personal finance episode will go up. And if time permits, I may even go live on Sundays for a town hall and answer your questions directly.


Why This Series is Different

Most content online focuses on defining terms—explaining one tool, one metric, or one topic. But the stock market is not just definitions. It is a mindset, a behaviour change, and a series of decisions that shape how you think about money.

That is why my very first episode is not about stocks at all. It is about understanding yourself before you invest. The market changes you as a person. It teaches you discipline, patience, risk control, emotional balance and even humility. But before you put a single rupee into the market, you must build the right mindset. You must unlearn the urge for quick profits and prepare for long-term wealth creation.

I do not teach shortcuts, tricks, or “quick money” strategies. My goal is to show you how to build serious wealth over a long period of time, slowly, steadily and intelligently. The entire intention is to help you grow—not gamble.


How I Will Teach You

My approach is simple. I will show you where to look and how to understand things. I will teach you how to connect the dots, how to identify patterns, how to read the world around you and how to make your own decisions. I will never tell you what stock to buy. Instead, I will give you the tools to figure it out yourself.

Everything begins from zero. We will unlearn first, then learn everything afresh. And as we move forward, I want this channel to become a full library of financial knowledge—structured, beginner-friendly and accessible to everyone.


Your Role in This Journey

Your participation matters. I want you to tell me what topics confuse you, what concepts you want simplified and what questions you’ve been afraid to ask. Even if the question feels basic—something like “What is inflation?” or “What is an IPO?”—ask it. No topic is too small. This is the whole purpose of starting from scratch.

Once each episode is released, share your suggestions in the comments. I will read them, take notes and plan the next videos based on what the community needs.


A New Beginning

This channel is a fresh start—for you and for me. It’s a space to rebuild foundational knowledge, make finance easy to understand and help you grow into a confident, disciplined investor.

The first episode goes live shortly. I hope you enjoy it, learn from it and become a part of this journey. New videos will come every Thursday and Saturday at 9 PM.

Stick around. We’re just getting started—and we’re starting from zero, together.
