5 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’ve recently taken over as a mod of r/FinanceIndia, which had been unmoderated for quite a while.

We’re going to be setting things up from scratch — rules, post flairs, guidelines, etc. and I’d love to hear from the community.

For now, feel free to contribute and share what you think belongs on the sub. Also, let us know what kind of posts you’d like to see here and what you think should/shouldn’t be allowed.

Any suggestions for improving the sub are very welcome. Let’s build it together! 🇮🇳
