Latest from Namya

People using AI will replace people who don't. Good news: you can learn it.

That is my hot take, and it is why I teach AI to everyone, from zero, step by step.

Cheerful, friendly, a bit crazy

My three words, and I teach with all three.

Penny the squirrel with a stash

Money with three jobs

Saving, investing and trips. A little of each, always.

My happy places

Series, new languages, new food, family and friends, and trips.

Penny the squirrel with hearts

Love and live life

My motto. Money is a tool for a good life, not the point of it.

What I'd tell every beginner about money and AI

The first row is my own mistake. I thought investing a big amount later beat investing smaller amounts from a young age. I was wrong. Education, not advice.

How I teach

Practical over theory

Every lesson ends with something you can use or build.

Honest about limits

AI makes mistakes, so I teach you to check its work.

Education, not advice

I never tell you what to buy or sell.

Fundamentals stay free

The basics of AI and money should be open to everyone.

My story

How The AI Investor started

01

The Beginning

Finance felt impossible. So I started figuring it out.

I was a student who didn't grow up in a finance household. Opening a Zerodha account felt overwhelming. The internet was full of jargon and everyone seemed to know something I didn't.

So I started figuring it out myself. Reading, testing, and eventually discovering that AI tools made this stuff dramatically easier. I went from confused to confident in months. And I kept thinking: why isn't anyone explaining this in plain English?

02

The AI Moment

I found out AI could do in minutes what took me weeks.

The first time I used ChatGPT to analyse a mutual fund and compare it to alternatives, I was stunned. It gave me a clearer picture in 5 minutes than what I'd spent weeks trying to piece together.

I started testing everything. SIP calculators, portfolio analysis prompts, business idea validation. Each one worked. And I kept saving the prompts that actually helped me make real decisions.

03

First Content

I started teaching what I was learning.

I started sharing on Instagram and YouTube. Not polished videos, just honest breakdowns of what I was discovering. The response was immediate. People were hungry for this. They didn't want jargon. They wanted someone who'd been where they were.

I realised I wasn't just sharing prompts. I was giving people the permission to believe that AI + finance wasn't just for tech bros and CAs.

04

The Newsletter

Every Tuesday, something actionable lands in your inbox.

I launched The AI Investor newsletter to go deeper than what I could in a 60-second reel. Every Tuesday I break down one AI tool, strategy, or prompt you can actually use that week. No fluff. No theory. Just practical.

It grew to 2,000+ readers faster than I expected. Turns out people were desperate for this information. They just needed someone to translate it.

05

The Free Resource Hub

All my best stuff, completely free.

I built this resource hub because I genuinely believe this information should be free. I see people charging thousands for AI and finance courses that teach the basics. And there's nothing wrong with paid courses, but the fundamentals should be accessible to everyone.

So everything here is free. Every prompt, every guide, every playbook. If you're here to learn, take whatever you need.

06

Now

What's next, and why it matters.

I'm building towards being the go-to resource for everyday people worldwide who want to use AI to actually build wealth, not just talk about it. Working 1:1 with people, running workshops, and building tools that make this practical.

The thing I care about most is you. The person who's a little confused, a little intimidated, but genuinely wants to take control of their financial future. That's who I'm building this for. And it's not changing.
