Hi — I’m Ankit, co-founder of Securis Finance. This is the first post on the Securis Blog. It exists because the financial guidance available to college students and early-career professionals in India today is missing the middle.

On one end you have traditional education-loan advice — long-form posts about funding ₹40 lakh tuition at IIM Ahmedabad, with co-applicants and collateral. On the other you have BNPL apps pitching themselves at “anything you want, in 4 instalments,” which are great for sneakers and not so great for a ₹50,000 laptop you’ll keep for four years.

The middle is where most college students and young working professionals actually live. You need ₹20-50k for a laptop. ₹15k for a Coursera Plus year. ₹80k to fund the GMAT prep + exam fee. ₹2,500 for a hackathon flight. ₹10k for the books your professor said are mandatory but the library doesn’t have. None of these justify a five-year education-loan process. None of them are spontaneous “checkout in 4 instalments” purchases either.

What we’ll write about

The blog covers six topic areas, each tied to a real funding decision:

  • Laptops & equipment — choosing a laptop or a peripheral kit, and how to fund it without burning a hole in your savings
  • Online courses & upskilling — Coursera, Udemy, edX, bootcamps — what each costs, and when a small loan beats waiting six months
  • Working professional upskilling — CFA, FRM, GMAT, executive programs — funding professional growth from a salary that already has commitments
  • College life expenses — hostel, mess, books, daily life — the budget reality of being a college student in India
  • Comparisons — Securis vs Slice vs CASHe vs Uni vs HDFC personal loan — honest, current comparisons (we’ll point you elsewhere when someone else fits better)
  • How to apply — the practical mechanics of getting a Securis loan: eligibility, documents, timelines, what affects your interest rate

Editorial principles

A few things we’ll commit to:

  1. Real numbers, current dates. When we cite a price or interest rate, we date it. When prices change, the post gets updated.
  2. Specific over generic. “Best laptops for engineering students under ₹50,000 in 2026” rather than “How to choose a laptop.”
  3. Honest comparisons. When a competitor is the better fit for your situation, we’ll say so. We’d rather lose a loan than mislead a reader.
  4. No tuition-loan pretending. Securis doesn’t do ₹20-lakh-disbursed-to-college education loans, and we won’t write content optimized for those queries. Different product, different audience, different team.

What’s coming

The first cornerstone batch covers the highest-traffic, most-decision-relevant topics across all six pillars. Posts publish 3 times a week for the first 8 weeks, then settle into 2 a week.

If there’s a specific question you wish someone would write a clear, honest post about — laptops you’re considering, courses you’re trying to fund, comparisons you’re stuck on — email us at support@securis.in or message us on WhatsApp. We read every message and we’ll prioritize topics that show up more than once.

Thanks for reading. More soon.
