Trader · Risk Manager · Investor · Builder of Maverick Investor
I'm a CFA Charterholder, ERP & SCR certified risk professional, and a retail investor who believes every Indian deserves access to clear, unbiased financial guidance. Maverick Investor is my attempt to share what I've learned: no jargon, no commissions, just honest advice tailored for the Indian market.
From trading floors to risk desks to retail investing — a decade of hands-on market experience that informs every piece of content on Maverick Investor.
Started in trading across equities and commodities markets — developing a deep understanding of how markets move, reading price action, managing positions under pressure, and navigating the unique dynamics of commodity cycles (energy, metals, agricultural). Trading instilled a discipline around risk and position sizing that shapes everything I do as an investor today.
Moved into risk management — covering portfolio-level exposure across financial and commodity markets, counterparty risk, stress testing, and how institutions protect capital in adverse conditions. Managing risk across commodities added a dimension of volatility and macro sensitivity that equity-only frameworks miss entirely. This gave me a rigorous, multi-asset framework for risk that goes well beyond the standard "high/medium/low" categories most retail investors use.
Outside of work: I've spent years informally advising friends and family on mutual fund investing — helping them pick direct-plan funds, build SIP schedules, understand their risk profile, and avoid mis-sold products like ULIPs and endowment plans. Those conversations became the seed for Maverick Investor.
Built Maverick Investor to take the advice I was giving friends and make it available to every Indian investor — with live data, proper tools, and zero conflict of interest. No trail commissions. No product pushing. Just clear, research-backed guidance built on a decade of real market experience.
Portfolio-level risk frameworks, stress testing, drawdown analysis, and VaR — institutional rigour applied to personal investing decisions.
Mapping every rupee to a specific goal — retirement, child's education, home purchase — with SIP schedules that account for Indian inflation rates.
Screening funds on AUM, expense ratio, rolling returns, and Sharpe — the same methodology used in the live Fund Advisor tool.
Separating insurance from investment, sizing cover correctly, and avoiding the mis-sold products that cost Indian families crores every year.
A trading background means I understand volatility, liquidity, and market cycles — and why most retail investors should ignore short-term noise entirely.
Formally credentialled across investment analysis, energy risk, and sustainability risk — with FRM in progress.
FRM (Pursuing)
"Most financial advice in India is built around what earns the advisor a commission — not what works for you. I spent years watching that play out. Maverick Investor exists to fix that."
The Indian investor deserves better. A decade in financial markets — as a trader, a risk manager, and an informal advisor — showed me that the gap between what institutions know and what retail investors are told is enormous. Maverick Investor is my attempt to close that gap: no jargon, no conflicts, no commissions. Just the same rigour I'd apply to my own money, applied to yours.
