Twocents - Financial literacy, built by a teen for teens

"I'm 16 and built TwoCents because school never taught me money — and I'm guessing yours didn't either. Learn investing in 60 seconds, practice risk-free with a ₹1 lakh virtual stock simulator, and master finance through gamified quizzes and flashcards. Financial literacy, finally made for teens."

Here's everything together in one go: I spent hours grinding through Coursera courses on finance, only to realise I could've learned the same thing in 5 minutes. That frustration sparked everything. Every teen around me was financially clueless, including me. In India there's enormous pressure to pick medicine or engineering, but nobody teaches us basic financial literacy. I wanted to fix that. So I built TwoCents, a financial literacy app for teens. Learn investing in 60 seconds, practice risk-free with a ₹1 lakh virtual stock simulator, and master finance through gamified quizzes and flashcards. I started by just wanting to simplify finance content. But simplifying wasn't enough — teens needed to actually practice, not just watch. That's why I added the virtual stock simulator and gamified quizzes, so learning becomes doing
