    Hey folks! Today, we were actually planning to write about the new Closing Auction Session (CAS), the mechanism used to determine stock closing prices, that's believed to have caused the sharp rise in the NIFTY index on Monday. But then we realised we'd already explained this in detail over a year ago. So, if you've been wondering what all the fuss is about or how this new mechanism works, you can check out our story here.Instead, we stumbled upon something far more interesting. A company called Ardee Industries is opening its IPO subscription today (it'll remain open until August 7th). And it's not your typical manufacturing business. So, in today's Finshots, we're taking a closer look at it.Sign up for FREE insurance masterclass by Ditto

    Over the last couple of months, we've seen students take to the streets in Delhi, Mumbai, Jodhpur, Bhopal, Kolkata and several other cities, protesting against an education system plagued by paper leaks and policies they believe encourage corruption. Last weekend, those protests culminated in India's education minister stepping down. The government also acknowledged that the education system has serious gaps and announced a high-powered task force, headed by Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani, to address them.So in today's Finshots, we'll explain how exam paper leaks turned into a thriving industry in India and what it might take to even slightly fix the problem.Sign up for FREE insurance masterclass by Ditto
