LEDGER.
A student-built financial literacy platform

Practice money before it's real.

Ledger teaches budgeting and investing the way you'd actually learn it — by doing it, with simulated money, real market data, and zero risk of wiping out your savings on lesson one.

Monthly amount invested₹1,000

This is the exact kind of calculation most students never get to run before their first real financial decision — the entire premise of Ledger.

Access is growing faster than understanding.

Three modules. One running ledger.

Built to sustain itself, like a real fintech would.

Ledger isn't a licensed brokerage — that requires regulatory approval no student project can obtain. Instead, it's designed the way a real fintech founder would design around that constraint:
