Real cases, not just theory
Every concept is tied to a deal, a budget, a crisis or a portfolio that actually happened.
Finance & Economics Educator · Career Counsellor · India & UK
Real-world finance, taught by someone who has done it.
From KPMG Deals and The World Bank to managing global portfolios and ₹2,500 crore (≈ US$260 million) in private wealth, I help students understand how money, markets and economies really work, and how to build a career in them.

I · Who I am
Four sides of finance, one career.
I’m Ashmeet Singh, a finance professional with a Masters from The London School of Economics. Over the last seven years I have worked across four very different corners of finance: corporate deals, public policy, global fund management and private wealth. Today I share what I have learned with school students in India and the UK, so they can see how finance and economics work outside the textbook and plan careers in them with confidence.

III · Why consult me
Learned on deals, not in textbooks.
Most students learn finance from textbooks. I learned it on deals at KPMG, on public budgets at The World Bank, at the London School of Economics, managing money for European investors and advising families today. My sessions bring that into the classroom: real numbers, real decisions and the skills employers and universities look for.
Skills that transfer
Students practise Excel, research, writing and presenting, the work professionals do every day.
Honest career guidance
I’ve worked in the careers students ask about, so I can tell them what the work is really like and how to get there.
Open doors
Through a network of 10,000+ professionals, students meet people already doing the jobs they want.
