If you do only two things today: understand what shielded money is, and get a wallet. Everything else can wait.

Zcash India is a community, not a company. We won't ask you to buy anything, connect a wallet to a website, or hand over your seed phrase. Anyone who does is not us.

The two ideas

1. Money can be private. With most digital payments, someone (a bank, an app, a chain explorer) can see who paid whom and how much. Zcash lets you send shielded payments where those details stay between you and the person you paid.
2. Privacy is normal. You close the door when you talk to your doctor. You don't publish your salary. Financial privacy is the same ordinary thing, for money.

Your two actions

1. Read [What is Zcash?](/learn/what-is-zcash): two minutes on how it actually works.
2. [Get a shielded wallet](/learn/wallets): install Zashi or Zingo from an official source and back up your seed.

Then

• Find the next meetup or put your city on the map.
• Say hi on Telegram. Ask anything. No question is too basic.

One conversation. One meetup. One city at a time.

This is not financial advice, and Zcash India is not an exchange. We're here to help you learn.
