NIC Hyderabad is hosting a financial literacy session titled “Know Your Numbers,” led by Mohsen Siddiqui, Chief Executive Officer of GenMo, aimed at helping startup founders develop a clearer and more confident understanding of the financial side of running an early-stage business. The session is open to founders at any stage of building and is designed to address one of the more quietly damaging blind spots in early-stage ventures — the tendency to defer financial understanding until problems have already taken root.

The session will cover the fundamentals that founders most commonly struggle with: cash flow, pricing strategy, and tracking where money is actually going within a business. Rather than approaching these topics through formal accounting frameworks, the format is built around practical clarity — breaking down financial concepts in a way that is immediately applicable to the day-to-day decisions founders are already making, or avoiding making because the numbers feel unclear.

Siddiqui, drawing on his experience leading GenMo, brings a founder’s perspective to the material rather than that of an accountant or financial consultant. That distinction matters in a session targeted at early-stage builders, where the gap between understanding a concept in theory and knowing what to do with it in practice is often where founders lose ground. The emphasis throughout will be on avoiding the kinds of avoidable financial mistakes that tend to surface later precisely because they were not addressed early.

NIC Hyderabad has opened registrations for the session, with the link shared through its official channels. The event is supported by the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecom, Ignite — National Technology Fund, PTCL, LMKT, and Tech Destination Pakistan.
