Two decades plus in capital markets have taught me one enduring truth: Great investing is inseparable from Great thinking — and today, AI is redefining what great thinking looks like. At Gostocks Financial Services, a SEBI-registered fintech firm, I lead institutional equity research and portfolio management across India and the Middle East — building proprietary AI-powered frameworks that go beyond numbers to uncover the real story behind a business. Our work is grounded in a simple philosophy: Ātmā vāre Mantavyaḥ — Learn to Think. I have embraced AI not as a tool that replaces judgment, but as one that sharpens it. From intelligent research systems to data-driven portfolio construction, integrating AI into financial services is one of the most exciting frontiers I have had the privilege to work on. As a partner I am equally passionate about building the firm as I am about building people. Nurturing analysts who can reason from first principles, challenge consensus, and act with conviction is as rewarding to me as finding the right investment. Beyond markets, I am a student of human nature — drawn to psychology, spirituality, policy, and the fascinating overlap between all three. I practise Tai Chi and Transcendental Meditation to stay sharp and grounded. I believe high emotional intelligence is the single most underrated edge — in investing, in leadership, and in life. Proud Indian. Eternal optimist. Family man.
