A 6-session program for graduates
The best time to be good with money is your first payslip.
Money@Life turns fresh graduates into confident earners — budgeting, saving, investing and taxes, taught in plain language by a banker with 25 years on the front line.
Built for India — UPI, PF, CIBIL, 80C, first ITR. In-person or online.

focused sessions that hand a graduate the exact skills nobody taught them before their first salary.
The program
Six sessions, in the order money actually happens.
Each session is roughly 90 minutes, plain-language, and India-specific — with worksheets and templates a graduate can use the same week.
-
01
Your first paycheck
Read a payslip properly — CTC vs in-hand, TDS, PF, gratuity. Then build a monthly budget that actually holds.
-
02
The compounding habit
How money grows on its own, why starting at 23 beats starting at 33, and how to set up a first SIP without the jargon.
-
03
Banking, credit & your score
Accounts and UPI safety, using a credit card without the trap, and building a healthy CIBIL score from month one.
-
04
Protect before you grow
An emergency fund, the right term and health cover, and how to spot a mis-sold insurance or investment plan.
-
05
Invest with intent
Equity, debt and mutual funds explained simply — matching risk to goals, and tax-saving through 80C and NPS.
-
06
Taxes & the long game
Income-tax basics, filing a first ITR with confidence, and a simple personal money system built to last decades.
What they walk away with
Not theory. Things they can do by Friday.
Every session ends with an action, not a quiz. By the end of the program, a graduate can:
- Read their payslip and know their real take-home.
- Run a monthly budget that survives real life.
- Start their first SIP — and understand it.
- Spot a mis-sold insurance or credit trap.
- Build and protect a healthy CIBIL score.
- File their own ITR without panic.
