Welcome to Filtered Kapi, a newsletter that explores the intersection of history and money.

I'm Aditi Taswala, and I write about the past to illuminate the present. My newsletter explores stories from history from multiple angles, pulling on the financial threads that often go unnoticed.

From the profits behind the Suez Canal to the money problems leading up to the French Revolution, I dig deep to bring you fresh perspectives. I also shine a light on inspiring Indian women whose stories deserve to be told.

I believe that gathering different viewpoints helps us understand the past better. By connecting the past with the present, I offer insights into how historical events continue to influence our world today.

My background as a Chartered Accountant, with experience across Mumbai and Hong Kong, gives me a unique lens on business and economics.

When I'm not writing, you'll find me on the badminton court or nose-deep in a book. Stories make the world go round, and that's what drives me to write.

Join me as we explore how the past continues to influence our present.
