Kyle shares the lessons he learned from reading What I Learned About Investing From Darwin by Pulak Prasad.  The book is authored by Pulak Prasad, an investor out of India who helps run Nalanda Capital. From 2007 to 2022, they compounded their capital at 19% per annum, turning 1 rupee into 13.8 rupees during that time sample! But more important than their track record is the unique ways they run their fund.

The book illuminates 3 key principles that Nalanda uses for its investing framework: 
1. Avoid big risks.
2. Buy high-quality at a fair price.
3. Don’t be lazy – be very lazy.

To help readers understand why he invests this way, he dives deep into many of Darwin’s principles to help you understand their potential power in investing.
