Buying your first Bitcoin(or a portion of it in most cases) can be a daunting experience, especially for the freshers or noobs. It need not be.
This is the first question that most people have on their mind when the start. Should I first learn about bitcoin or should I first buy Bitcoin. Here is the famous quote by the legendary investor Warren Buffet.

But this time around I don't agree with him. I say do both. It is better to loose smaller amount for your mistakes than bigger amounts. The cost of mistake in the initial stages with low amounts is smaller compared to later stages with a bigger stash. Remember that crypto is still the wild west though it has come a long way from 2017 when I first invested in Bitcoin.
Keep a small experimental amount. You shouldn't worry about loosing this amount. Then buy Bitcoin with it.

Remember that you don't need to buy the whole Bitcoin. You can buy smaller portions of Bitcoins called Sats(Named after the founder Satoshi Nakomoto, a pseudonym).

1 Bitcoin = 10,00,00,000 Satoshi = 10 crore Satoshis
If possible make your experimental amount 10,000 INR. If you can't afford make it 1,000 INR
Today you can buy bitcoin directly from the exchanges where you can also trade Bitcoin for other alt coins(Any cryptocurrency other than Bitcoin is called alt coin)
Since you need convert your INR to Bitcoin/Altcoins Indian exchanges are best to begin with. Next you can look at international exchanges. This is the most time consuming and frustrating part. But get it done with. Based on your patience create accounts in atleast a few exchanges.
