Our Editor's Take

Finshots Daily is a podcast that helps listeners understand complex topics in business, finance, and the economy. The show explains topics like the stock market and Bitcoin ETFs. Host Rupen Paul presents every topic using simple language, without professional jargon. In short episodes, he discusses AI, animal drug testing, and cooperative banks. The goal is to help listeners understand economics without prior education.

Finshots Daily is a continuation of a daily newsletter that started in 2019. A few graduates of the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad created this venture. They wanted to simplify the topics that made them struggle during their studies. Soon after its inception, the project received funding.

Rupen Paul, a content creator, joined the Finshots Daily team in 2020. It was his suggestion to start a podcast, which encountered some resistance. The founders believed anyone wanting to know more about economics would like to read it. Still, they allowed Rupen to create a pilot, which got attention right away. Rupen's presentation made the podcast easy to listen to. He has previous experience creating podcasts with The Right Room. Rupen is also a stand-up comedian who has appeared in venues across India.

Finshots Daily is not a comedic show, though. However, Rupen's experience in talking in front of people does make it entertaining. By making comparisons to everyday life, Rupen helps listeners learn about important matters. Some episodes focus on the basics of economic issues. For example, when Rupen explains eSoil and how it can aid food security. Other episodes explore broader political and societal issues. For example, there's a discussion about the Israel-Palestine conflict. Rupen shares the facts and reveals how the conflict affects the rest of the world. It's a podcast for those who want information with little effort.

New episodes of Finshots Daily arrive multiple times a week.
