THE BEGINNING

It Started With the Market — Not the Classroom

Sachin Sant financial market journey beginning in 2000

Before analysing a stock,

               understand the business.

__________________________________

Before understanding the price,                          understand the numbers.

Sachin Sant began his journey in the stock market in 2000, surrounded by people closely connected with the financial markets.

But his foundation was not built merely by watching stock prices or following market conversations.

He chose to understand the business behind the numbers.His early experience involved working with small businesses on practical aspects of accounts, audits, financial statement preparation, balance sheets, profit & loss accounts, cash flow statements and taxation.

This real-world exposure created a strong foundation in fundamental analysis and financial statements — an understanding that later became an important part of his approach to analysing companies and markets.

 

FROM KNOWLEDGE TO EXPERIENCE

From Understanding the Numbers to Understanding the Market

WHEN MARKETS WERE TESTED

The Real Test Comes When Markets Become Difficult

2007–08 | The Global Financial Crisis

Markets can change quickly – importance of knowledge, discipline and preparation in financial markets

Financial markets do not test knowledge only when prices are rising.They test knowledge when uncertainty increases, volatility rises and investors begin questioning their decisions.

During the 2007–08 global financial crisis and the period surrounding the collapse of Lehman Brothers, Sachin Sant was handling client relationships and portfolios in a highly challenging market environment.

The experience reinforced an important principle that continues to influence his teaching:

His professional performance during this period received recognition through appreciation awards and incentives from the organisation.This was not simply another achievement.It was an experience that strengthened his confidence in combining market knowledge, analysis, communication and disciplined decision-making.

2013 — PRIVATE CLIENT GROUP & PORTFOLIO EXPERIENCE

His role extended beyond dealing and client interaction. He was involved in training and grooming team members towards a practical approach to the stock market, with emphasis on portfolio understanding, research, trading and investment processes.

Regular morning meetings focused on market news, technical charts and market developments, helping the team develop a disciplined approach to identifying potential stocks, understanding index movements and connecting market information with practical analysis.

Chart Education - From Market Experience to a Practical Learning Approach

Chart Education practical market analysis combining price action, technical indicators, market structure, SMC and fundamental analysis

Chart Education's journey began in 2010, at a time when many learners were still unfamiliar with the depth and practical application of technical analysis, options analysis and structured trading methodologies.

Over the years, Sachin Sant continued to study, test and refine different approaches by learning from experienced traders, investors, mentors and research professionals. The objective was not to depend on a single indicator, technique or market concept, but to understand how different tools could work together in different market situations.

This journey led to the development of a practical approach that combines Price Action, Technical Indicators, Market Structure and Smart Money Concepts (SMC), with an emphasis on understanding the context behind price movement rather than relying on any single tool.
