What Premium Members Are Saying

You have enriched me over all these years, Vishal. I can only thank you.

Sourav G

I couldn’t recommend this course enough, I have begged many friends to take it or attend the presentations and they simply do not do it. It is a huge loss on their end. Thank you Vishal for the opportunity.

Luis P

I always feel energetic after going through Vishal’s sessions. I tend to forget things after a few days or months, but Vishal ensures that all those forgotten things are fed back into my head. I personally like simplicity in my life, and I can resonate with it very well in these sessions, which are very simple to understand and have a very simple message but a very useful one. Keep it up, Vishal.

Anonymous

Thanks Vishal, great amazing session truly to change my vision towards financial independence. Illustration was very easy to understand but leaves a deep impact the real life examples are motivating. Keep up the good work!

Deepesh J

As always, an amazing session by Vishal on Rethinking Financial Freedom. Crisp and to the point. Best investment of your time.

Anonymous

It was an amazing session that sums up all the key concepts in very well-illustrated slides. If understanding the concept of money was liberal arts, then Vishal is the artist and this session was a masterpiece.

Mastermind has strengthened my investment skills and techniques, allowing me to know which stocks are fundamentally sound.

Mastermind not only teaches you about investing, but also shows you the way to create your own investing philosophy.

Vishal has designed his lessons in a highly simplified manner. I highly recommend his course to anyone who wants to explore the path of learning how to analyze businesses to make better and well-studied investment decisions.

Few things in life reach beyond their expected boundaries or dimensions. This session was one of those events. The feeling throughout the session was more meditation-like. The flow of knowledge was simple yet effective. Most of the things discussed are known or heard of at some point in a person’s life. However, the session’s beauty and brilliance was how each bead of knowledge was weaved into a necklace. Congratulations on the successful webinar, and thank you for the wonderful experience!

Such an amazing session of learning. Vishal is a great mentor and connects so well. The session was very positive and easy to understand. The added short stories were so encouraging. Will recommend every person to join and have the feel of the positive educative aura. Thanks Vishal.

Shweta

A very great session on how to design your life on your own terms without being burdened by the demands of this fast-paced world.

As always, Vishal sir covered this much-discussed topic in a broad-based and unique style, covering the behavioural aspects and controllable factors besides the financial calculations, which can lead us to a more happy journey and contented life. His eloquent talk, along with the presentation interspersed with stories, examples, book quotes, and brilliant graphic illustrations, kept us occupied till the end. A must for anyone who thinks of freedom, retirement etc.

Anonymous

It was a great session. All the content made 100% sense. Thank you so much, and keep showing us the light and path to financial freedom.

Vishal’s course has given me the tools and explained how to use them as well. I find myself indebted to his teachings.

The first investment an investor must make is “Mastermind.” Why? Its price is very low compared to its intrinsic value.

Jana V.

One of the best courses I have ever done, and one of the best investments I have made. I recommend the course to anyone who is interested in value investing.

You are like a senior ferryman in the ocean of investment. After grasping your ideas and direction, I will definitely reach the shore.

Sometimes the most obvious things get brushed aside in the mad social media world since nobody mentions them. This session, apart from reiterating those old world values, gave a fresh perspective on financial freedom. Attending it, I was released from so many apprehensions and uncertainties plaguing my mind.

Deep S

Omg, it was so good! Initially, I was concerned with the length until it was over, and it felt like 20 minutes had passed. Great examples. Simple, timeless examples. Great follow-up questions, very polite and exceptional fellow classmates. Wish I could interact more with them and get to know them a little better. I love learning, especially from others, from everyone.

Anonymous

A balanced and truthful enquiry into what it truly means to be financially free! Authentic and truthful, Vishal worked with participants instead of creating FOMO or peddling get-rich-quick tips. The maturity and poise of Vishal came across in the energy he transferred through the session. Would recommend this to beginners and pros alike, it’s a different yet fundamental enquiry into the meaning and nature of financial freedom.

Anonymous

Vishal Sir is an excellent storyteller. The session was excellent and from his personal experience and books he has shared about different facets of looking at financial freedom.

Mastermind helps evolve individual investment philosophy and equips one with the technical skills and right frame of mind to make investment decisions.

The beauty of Mastermind is that it breaks down this whole overly pretentious subject of “investment research/analysis” into simple, easy to understand “lessons”.
