Three new ways into the paid editions, and what changed this week
Quality research should not depend on where you live.
We went paid three weeks ago. The response has been more than I expected.
Since then I have received messages I did not expect, not about the content, but about access.
A few days ago, a reader in Ghana wrote to me. They had been reading the free editions, found them extremely useful, and wanted to go paid. But the pricing page meant something very different in their economy than it does in New York or London.
It was not a complaint. It was one of the most thoughtful messages I have received since starting this newsletter.
It made me ask a question I should have asked on day one.
A Question I Should Have Asked on Day One
The question was simple.
Should access to quality research depend on where you live?
I already knew the answer. I just had not built around it yet.
So here is what we did.
If you are permanently located in a developing economy, including but not limited to India, Ghana, South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Brazil, Indonesia, the Philippines, or similar regions, just reply to this email, or write to us at info@shikshannivesh.com. Share your country, and we will work with you on adjusted pricing that fits your local purchasing power.
We will verify this through your payment details to keep the system fair for everyone. That is all it takes.
This is not a discount. It is what fair access looks like when your readers are spread across 50 countries, and a dollar is not worth the same in all of them.
Another Way In, and It Is Free
There is one more way to get full access, and it does not cost anything.
We just launched a referral program.
Refer 7 readers, and you get one month of paid access.
Refer 30, and you get three months.
Refer 50, and you get six months.
If you know other investors or analysts who would find these editions useful, share your referral link with them. When they subscribe, the months are yours.
Terms apply, mostly to keep out spam and keep the program fair. But if you genuinely share work you believe in, this is the simplest way to earn full access without paying for it.
One More Way, If You Want Everything
And if you want the whole system, the Alpha with AI club premium membership now includes a complimentary subscription to this newsletter.
So premium members get the weekly playbooks, the community of 100s of global analysts, and every edition here, together.
Four Ways In
When I started this newsletter, I wanted to make institutional-grade research accessible to people who were never handed it.
The message from Ghana reminded me that accessible has to mean accessible everywhere.
So there are four ways in now.
Upgrade at the regular price, the same one on the subscription page.
If you are based in one of the developing economies mentioned above, just reply to this email, or write to us at info@shikshannivesh.com, and we will adjust it for where you live.
Earn months of access by referring readers who would value this work.
Or join the Alpha with AI club premium and get this newsletter included with everything else.
The work behind the paywall is the same either way. The only thing that changed is who can reach it.
If this resonated, and if you know someone who has been holding back because of where they live, forward this to them. That is the entire point. It tells the algorithm to show this to more investors and analysts, which is the whole reason editions like this can stay open to everyone.
