YOUR DAILY DOSE OF COMMERCE, SIMPLIFIED.
OUR STORY
Caffeinated Commerce is an independent student publication exploring the forces that shape our economy. Founded in January 2026 by Alisha Nasim, a student, writer, and marketer from India, Caffeinated Commerce started as a simple belief that economics and business shouldn't feel intimidating. They should feel like a conversation. Not the kind you have in a classroom, but the kind you have over coffee, when someone breaks down why your favourite brand charges what it does, or why the price of everything went up last year, or how a small idea becomes something that outlasts its founder. All built independently, without institutional backing or a budget. We cover marketing, business, and economics in plain language, with real research, for curious minds everywhere.

I just went through the first few pages, and it was genuinely so well done.You took a subject that can easily feel overwhelming or dry and turned it into an engaging experience. The design and flow felt polished, modern, and thoughtfully put together.

I have not seen a publication quite like Caffeinated Commerce. With its articles and interview, it stands out as a pillar in the zine community for anyone who wants to become interested in marketing and economics. This is masterminding of the highest order. I cannot wait to see where this publication reaches for next!
