About pratyushmittal

I am a Chartered Accountant and love to create financial applications for value investors. I am currently working on a stock analysis and a screening web-app for the Indian markets. My favourite text editor is Sublime Text (with Emacs binding), favourite OS is Ubuntu and favourite programming language is Python.

I have a scrapbook at fully-faltoo.com and a financial blog at dalal-street.in
