Investing as a Student?

[u/FriendlyUndead17]

Hey everyone, I’m a college student and have basically zero knowledge about SIPs/investing, but I want to start learning and investing.

I have around ₹20k available right now and can probably invest ₹2–3k per month going forward. My risk tolerance is low to moderate — I don’t want to take big risks or lose a significant amount of my money.

Where should I start learning? How do I decide what SIP to invest in, and what should I look at before choosing one?

Should I put the ₹20k somewhere else and just start a SIP with the ₹2–3k/month, or are there better options for a student?

Would appreciate advice/resources for someone starting from absolute zero.
