Finance has its own vocabulary: stop-loss, book value, circuit breaker. When the explanation around those words is also in a second language, beginners spend their energy translating instead of understanding. That is the problem StockYatra’s Academy set out to fix. It is built around NEPSE, and since September 2026 every one of its 117 lessons opens with a short video in Nepali, English or Hindi.
What the course covers
The Academy is a set of short, focused courses rather than one long one, and the topics follow the path most Nepali investors actually walk:
| Track | Lessons include |
|---|---|
| Getting started in Nepal | NEPSE basics, SEBON, Demat and Meroshare, brokers and TMS, C-ASBA, market hours, T+2 |
| Primary market | IPOs, FPOs, right shares, bonus shares, dividends, mutual funds, debentures |
| Fundamentals | Financial statements, EPS and P/E, book value, ROE, dividend yield, bank and hydropower metrics |
| Charts | Candlesticks, trends, support and resistance, volume, moving averages, RSI, MACD, breakouts |
| Risk and mindset | Position sizing, risk and reward, diversification, fear and greed, avoiding the herd |
| Sectors and practice | Banks, hydropower, microfinance, insurance, circuit breakers, short selling and margin |
How a lesson works
Pick a language and the explainer plays: the narrator reads the title, each key point gets its own full-screen scene with a simple animated chart, and captions highlight each word as it is spoken, so you can follow on a bus with the sound off. A recap checklist closes the video. Then you swipe through the written points and mark the lesson done.
Finishing a lesson earns XP and league points (up to ten lessons a day count towards the weekly league). Quizzes pass at 80% and earn league points too. The step that matters most happens outside the lesson: try the idea on the simulator with virtual coins.
The Watch feed: five-minute learning
Not everyone has an hour a day, but almost everyone has five minutes. Tap the red Watch button on the Home screen or in chat for a vertical feed of every StockYatra video:
- Nepali help videos, each under 30 seconds, showing one task in the real app: buying, short selling, stop-loss and target, reading your portfolio, the heatmap, price alerts, the IPO calendar, leagues and more. There are 30 of them today.
- Safety videos: why coins cannot be withdrawn, how to earn coins, practice versus real investing, and how to spot and report scams.
- Lesson explainers in all three languages, with an open-lesson button.
- Creator clips from Promote & Earn (Promote & Earn for creators).

Education, not advice
The Academy teaches how markets and tools work. It never tells you which real share to buy or sell. StockYatra is free: 10,000 virtual coins at signup, no fee per trade and no premium tier. Coins are for practice only and can never be withdrawn. More detail: the course on the StockYatra blog · The StockYatra academy.
