Welcome to The Finance Lens

Hi, I am Smita. I have always been curious about what really drives markets, money, and the choices we make. Over the years, I realised that financial news is everywhere—but clear, meaningful explanations are hard to find. That’s why I started writing here: to share stories that make the economy and investing easier to understand.

Why Subscribe?

When you join, you will get my daily posts straight to your inbox. I don’t just share updates—I explain what they mean for you, your money, and your future. No jargon. No hype. Just simple insights you can actually use.

Free & Paid

Most of my work will always stay free, because I believe financial understanding should be accessible to anyone who is curious. Soon, I will also add a paid section with deeper analysis, case studies, and strategies for those who want to dive further.

What This Is About

This newsletter is not just about numbers or market charts. It is about connecting the dots—how global events shape everyday life, how small financial decisions compound over time, and how we can all learn to think about money in a calmer, more thoughtful way.

That belief has also shaped my work beyond this newsletter. Recently, I wrote a children’s book, Mia & Max and the Magic Money Adventure, to introduce young readers to healthy money habits through simple stories—because understanding money should not begin with fear or confusion, at any age.

If you have ever wondered not just what is happening, but why it matters, you will feel at home here.

Let’s grow wiser, one story at a time.
