I Analyzed 300+ Indian IPOs. Here’s What Actually Works.

In India, 103 major IPOs hit the market in 2025 alone. That’s roughly two IPOs every single week. And this happened in a year when the broader markets weren’t exactly on fire. Still, we saw IPOs clock listing gains north of 65% - which is wild, by any standard.

Disclaimer: This post is purely a data-driven analysis. It’s not investment advice. IPO investing carries risk, and past patterns don’t guarantee future gains. Always do your own research and be prepared for potential losses.

For better or worse, IPO investing in India has historically been a mix of data, instinct, and straight-up luck. If you understand how the game works, subscription trends, GMP chatter, and market mood, it’s generally been a decent way to make quick, short-term returns. The playbook is familiar: apply, hope you get an allotment, and exit on listing day to book the pop. read more...



From Announcement to Action: The Impact of Capex News on Stock Prices

In the stock market, reacting to news is a well-known tactic. Investors often trade or make swing and long-term positions based on announcements, aiming to capitalize on sharp price movements. But how impactful can a single piece of news be?

This case study focuses on a striking example of how a capital expenditure (capex) announcement transformed market sentiment within hours.

Raspberry Pi Camera Live Streaming: Step-by-Step Setup

Are you ready for some weekend tech fun? Buckle up because we’re about to embark on an exciting journey! Our mission? To create a cutting-edge Raspberry Pi-based image streaming service that brings real-time images right to your phone, no matter where you are. And the best part? It’s all about keeping things locked down tight — your feed, your privacy, and your excitement!

🔧 What You’ll Need for this Awesome Project 🔧

Gather up your tools because we’re about to embark on a tech adventure that’s as exciting as it is educational! Here’s your checklist:

  • 🍇Raspberry Pi: The tiny computer with mighty capabilities, perfect for running small computing tasks right from the comfort of your home or lab.
  • 📷Raspberry Pi Camera: A budget-friendly 5MP camera that captures surprisingly sharp and clear images.
  • ☁️AWS EC2, Azure VM, or a Cloud VM Hosting Service of Your Choice: We’ll harness the power of the cloud to set up our very own Nginx server with mutual certificate authentication.

Setting up Raspberry Pi

Having any OS on Pi should be fine. We shall be using Python in this project. However, I recommend popular Linux distros like Debian or any OS based on Debian.

You can skip this step if you already have a working Pi. Or follow resources like this to flash your SD card and boot and set up Debian on the PI.

Connecting the Pi Camera

With the Pi setup complete and the Pi up and running, let’s get the PI camera on the Pi. Many resources are available on the internet to help us with this. You may follow this one.

Pipeline

In this project, we shall be creating this pipeline. A brief overview of the steps:

  • Python program uses the picamera2 module to periodically capture images
  • Encode and send the picture as an HTML file using SCP
  • Create an Nginx config file to serve the file
  • Create and install a key certificate to authenticate the client

Income Tax Filing for Foreign Assets

Let’s be real — filing for income tax in India can be a bit of a head-scratcher. It’s like trying to solve a puzzle where the rules keep changing, and for someone new to the whole earning-and-tax thing, it can get seriously overwhelming. You’ve got the basics down, but what about those foreign assets? The whole “I didn’t sell, why bother” strategy might not be the tax-saver it seems.

And don’t get me started on the CA route. It turns out that even they sometimes draw a blank regarding the nitty-gritty details.

And here’s the kicker — mishandling those foreign assets can trigger notices, bringing you face-to-face with the Black Money Act. Massive penalties lurk and the prospect of jail time is not just a distant threat. read more...
