Hai,

Myself Ashlin Joby Thekkan.Living in a place known as God’s Own Country – Kerala, India.

Over the last 10 years, I have read and researched a lot on topics like personal financial planning and investing. I have been practising religiously all I have learned in the last decade. And I can proudly say that all my efforts have really helped me to gain a good amount of knowledge and expertise in the field of Finance and Investment and also to improve my financial health substantially.

On my journey towards financial literacy and financial independence, I was really shocked to find the level of financial illiteracy people are having especially among those who are well educated.

And when I found myself really passionate about teaching personal finance management and investing, I started looking for platforms through which I can reach out to the public and teach them on topics related to financial literacy, I found that blogging is the right platform for me.

And that helped me to become the founder of Finance Infopedia, “A Complete Guide For Your Personal Finance Management!”
