Learn with Akhilesh Gururani

A focused exam and investing lab built around the way I teach and write.

Welcome to Learn with Akhilesh Gururani.

This is the companion learning space for my books and courses. Here, every concept is broken into small, exam-ready units with clear structure instead of long, dense chapters.

What you can do here

  • Extend ideas from the books into structured, exam-focused explanations.
  • Practice with carefully designed questions, explanations, and exam traps.
  • Follow stepwise learning paths when full online courses are released.

Who this is for

  • Book readers who scan a QR or type a link from the Kindle/print edition to read a richer companion explanation.
  • NISM and market aspirants preparing for exams like NISM XV – Research Analyst and other certifications.
  • Self-directed investors who want a disciplined, quantitative understanding of risk, return, and portfolio construction.

How to use this site

  1. From the book: Open the companion post for that section, read the explanation, then attempt the “Check your understanding” questions.
  2. From the sidebar: Pick a book or course (for example, NISM XV – Research Analyst: Companion Posts) and move through the sections in order.
  3. By topic: Use the search box to jump straight to concepts like “Sharpe ratio”, “standard deviation”, or “Z-score” when revising.

What you will find inside

  • Companion posts – Short, chapter-linked pieces that deepen one concept at a time.
  • Nuances and traps – Highlighted notes where candidates typically lose marks or misinterpret questions.
  • Check-your-understanding – MCQs with detailed solutions and exam pointers.
  • Courses (coming soon) – Complete book content structured as online courses with progress-friendly navigation.

Use this space as a bridge between reading and mastery: each page is designed to move you one level closer to passing the exam and taking better investment decisions in real portfolios.
