What we do
Vimista helps readers understand how money and markets work by examining real events. We begin with a question a reader might have: why did the rupee fall, how did a market crash spread, or what changed after a reform?
Our articles trace the sequence of an event, explain the financial mechanism and show what the available evidence supports. Topics in review include India’s 1991 foreign-currency crisis and the 1987 stock market crash. These drafts will appear on the site after fact-checking.
Who it is for
You do not need a finance background. If you have a fixed deposit, an EMI or a SIP, or have wondered why the rupee or a market moved, we write for you.
We keep the Indian reader at the centre, even when the event happened elsewhere. Where an event had a documented effect on India, we show it. Where we could not find one, we say so, and we do not invent a link.
How we write
- Clear explanations. We define financial terms where they matter and show how a cause leads to an effect.
- Sourced. Material claims point to a numbered source, preferably an official record such as a central bank, regulator or government report.
- Honest about gaps. If a number cannot be verified, we leave it out. If sources disagree, we say so.
- No advice, no predictions. We explain what happened. We never tell you what to buy or where prices will go.

What is next
We plan to add practice questions based on these events so readers can check their understanding. The articles are designed to stand on their own.
