Now! Good to see this getting serious traction!! 
Genuinely scared whether we (have raised hopes too high, and) will be able to do justice to your wishes/aspirations.
Also hoping everyone putting up a hand here is a serious learner/believer in collaboration(no matter how senior/junior an investor you are) which means accepting other contributors as they are without judgement, showing others a better way by your own hunger/initiative, trying to emulate senior styles you admire (fastest way for some of their talents to rub off on you) and in general proving to be a Team Player - stepping in when others have genuine reasons for slack, also challenging others to up the game by personal example, yet showing courtesy and patience always!
Attached is the current Fund Manager - Analyst Deep Dive Template (2).pdf (6.2 MB) (continuously being improved)
Since there is already a large number of volunteers building up, maybe its a good idea for us seriously interested deep-divers to start serious practice using the current deep-dive Template for your own favourite current business (aligned & picked from the VP Stock Story thread).
And Upload here on this thread back, when you are happy with what you have come up with - say after 3-4 self-revisions - means you have made sure publicly available info on business (research reports, VP threads, other blogs/forus, Management interviews, Concalls et al is exhaustively scanned/analysed ā¦serious pursuit, right 
) ā¦at your own level of investor maturity ā¦which is totally acceptable. What @ayushmit and Me appreciate most and like to encourage is hard work and the surprise element in when someone else discovers something/some angle (no matter how small) that we missed.
We will get the more accomplished among us to help the newbies/young learners out to do a more complete job, progressively till all our levels are sufficiently improved.
Hope you all got itā¦and excuse the lengthy speel ā¦unavoidable if we have to get everyone on same page! quickly!

Also attached is an Excel File (from my learning days when I was a heavy numbers cruncher - the only way ratios, and their linkages got into my head then).
Axtel Industries.xlsm (141.9 KB)

Below mostly for absolute newbies. NO harm re-iterating!
Hoping everyone here at VP knows about Excel Upload feature at Screener.in. If you donāt thatās a shame! @pratyushmittal/@ayushmit have made/continue to make investing life easier and easier for us. All you have to do is upload this file (after logging in, at Register - Screener). Then for any business you want to next investigate - say Bharat Rasayan for example, Just go to Bharat Rasayan, click on Export to Excel to download, and lo Bharat Rasayan now computed using the same template/framework all in seconds! Donāt think this kind of super functionality exists at any site anywhere in the world. And Free?

Hi Guys/Gals
Delighted to bring to you another high quality deep-dive interaction with @ankitgupta on Bharat Rasayan. This is a business widely tracked at VP, so need for any pre-ambles.
If you have nice things to say about this capture - assuming most of you CAN make out what is being presented/conveyed - the entire credit goes to Ankit - he has closely followed the business for over 4-5 years, has good insights, and has tried to show you what he thinks of the business! I am interacting closely with Ankit after a gap of 2 years or so - and, I am impressed!
PS: Sorry for the delay in getting back to volunteers. Will sit now for an hour or so - looking through activity/posts of those who have raised their hands, Do you think assigning a relatively senior volunteer with a newbie for each transcribe is a good idea? let us know.

High Time you updated the āAbout Meā section on your profile page. I am seeing so many interesting posts from so many folks, it helps your case immensely if we know a little more on the background. Simple stuff - professional work area, years of experience, what you are naturally good at for us to slot you in Team VP better!
Hereās my updated profile! I was forced to, before pushing everyone else to do the same.
Its official now! My personal goal for 2020 - to deliver on VP Expert Network 2.0!

If you want to be taken seriously in this potentially disproportionately rewarding Deep-Dive Collaboration Experiment ongoing now, you know what you have to first
[Those with professional limitations, can keep things simple ā¦professional work area, years of experience, what you are naturally good atā¦]

Newbies not to get disheartened by heavy-duty profiles! (Guys/Gals - donāt pull a fast one Ha )
What we are looking for is sincerity of INTENT, and curiosity for LEARNING! That can come visibly alive in what you said while volunteering, so it pays to make that extra effort to get noticed ; in āAbout meā, as also in your activity - the kind of questions you ask/been asking, and one or two observations/thoughts - that perhaps shows how you analyse - too much to ask already!
Self-confessed Novices! Enrolled! Some here will migrate to the Leads
- subject to meaningful profile updation

Keep updating your profile for meaningful insight into āYouā and let us know about the updation - doesnāt show up automatically. Itās a cluttered world, we need to always make a little extra effort while writing in/expressing interest to standout in some way to get noticed. Proof of the pudding will always be ultimately in the eatingā¦but we are after quick productivity here.
So expect further screening, in terms of āwho get thisā fast. there are some who are naturally good at and love structured communication. They donāt like to write till they can communicate effectively. And they love any communication that is structured well to enable getting to the gist of the matter - crisply concisely. Its my feeling that those guys will understand this very fast, and can guide juniors to understand what is written - fast, ask some quick clarifications on what is not understood, and get the basic job done; Then polishing english/refining can be done by a few others who are editor-like skills among the Lead set - along with ability to understand the impact of crisper communicationā¦So a numbers training helps, good reasoning ability helps, good english helps.
So any lead/self-confessed novice who wants to be first-in, its a good idea to attempt to transcribe yourself - Axtel Ind or Bharat Rasayan and send that in the fastest - ONLY if you are convinced you get the essence of what is being communicated. If you donāt, then donāt attempt, we can walk you through.
