Interview#1

रुपयाचे अवमूल्यन होत आहे. का? ते खूप आहे की खूप कमी आहे? आपण परिस्थितीचे विश्लेषण कसे करावे? परिणाम काय आहेत? RBI ची भूमिका काय? रुपयाचे आदर्श मूल्य काय आहे?

या वेळी या सर्व प्रश्नांची उत्तरे सुशांत हेडे (सीए आणि इकॉनॉमिस्ट) यांनी दिली आहेत. जेव्हा या प्रश्नांचा भडिमार केला तेव्हा तो शांत राहिला आणि त्याने सर्वांची उत्तरे त्याच्या उत्कृष्ट-रचित आणि स्पष्ट स्पष्टीकरणांसह दिली. आमच्या संभाषणाचा हा पहिला भाग आहे.

ही अशी जागा आहे जिथे आपण या गोष्टी कशारित्या कार्य करतात याची माहिती मिळवू शकता. तसेच, तुम्हाला अनेक नवीन संकल्पना आणि सिद्धांत सापडतील ज्यांची चर्चा कोणत्याही मराठी माध्यमात होत नाही.

The rupee is depreciating. Why? Is it too much or is it too little? How should we analyse the situation? What are the impacts? What's RBI's role?  What is the ideal value of the rupee? 

This time, all these questions were answered by Sushant Hede (CA and Economist). When bombarded with these questions, he remained calm and answered them all with his super-composed and lucid explanations. This is the first part of our conversation.

This is the place where you can get all the information on how these things work. Also, you will find many new concepts and theories that are never discussed in any Marathi media.

अनेक जाहिरातींना आपण बळी पडतो. आपल्यावर काही लोकांचा सहज प्रभाव पडतो. आपण गुंतवणुकीचे चुकीचे निर्णय घेतो कारण आपण एखाद्याचे आंधळेपणाने अनुसरण करतो. आपण काय करत आहोत? हे नक्कीच तर्कसंगत नाही.

We fall prey to many advertisements. We get easily influenced by some people. We make bad investment decisions because we followed someone blindly. What are we doing? It's definitely not rational.
