Cleared FRM Part1

Karan sir's practical videos were extremely helpful in clearing FRM. Just reading theory isn’t enough; unless you know how to apply it with Excel and Python, the knowledge stays incomplete.

I want to thank Karan Sir from the bottom of my heart. Sometimes you have all the resources but no guidance and that’s where he made the difference. Both my FRM Part 1 and Part 2 cleared in the first attempt.
