Kalpesh Kaushik

The Quiet Compass

Connect on LinkedIn

Twenty years in the markets have taught Kalpesh one simple lesson—the louder the market gets, the quieter your thinking should become. He believes great investing starts with listening, questioning assumptions and staying humble enough to keep learning. His role isn’t to have all the answers; it’s to help the team ask better questions and remain anchored to first principles while everyone else chases headlines.

Believes: “The best portfolios, like the best music, aren’t about the loudest notes—they’re about perfect harmony.”

Office Reputation: Has seen enough market cycles to know that every “This time it’s different” eventually becomes “We’ve seen this before.”

Jash Bhatt

Chief Myth Buster

Connect on LinkedIn

If a company calls itself “transformational,” Jash Bhatt’s first question is, “Transforming into what?” Armed with a Chartered Accountant’s eye for detail and an uncanny ability to find the perfect Bollywood dialogue for every business discussion, he has a knack for seeing through stories that don’t survive a reality check. Between dismantling business myths and keeping the team’s spirits high, he ensures our research is built on evidence, not excitement, and conviction, not consensus.

Favourite investment tool: Common sense. (Sadly, it’s not listed on any stock exchange.)

Office Reputation: Can spot an accounting red flag before finishing his morning coffee—and explain it using a Bollywood dialogue.

The Data Ninja

While the rest of us are discussing investment ideas, Siddhesh is quietly teaching computers to do the boring work. He believes repetitive tasks are a personal insult and responds by automating them with surgical precision. Thanks to him, our research team spends less time wrestling with spreadsheets and more time discovering opportunities.

Life motto: “If it’s repetitive, it deserves automation.”

Office Reputation: If your task mysteriously disappeared… he probably automated it.

Aashish Jain

The Zen Analyst

Connect on LinkedIn

The market can be crashing, WhatsApp can be buzzing with “multibagger tips,” and Aashish will still calmly ask, “But what’s the intrinsic value?” Unshaken by noise and immune to FOMO, he reminds us that successful investing isn’t about chasing stories, instead it’s about paying the right price for the right business. When everyone else speeds up, he slows down… and that’s often where the best decisions are made.

Known to say: “Let’s value it first. The market can wait.”

Office Reputation: Has never knowingly overpaid for anything—even for his favourite Manchurian.

The Knowledge Catalyst

Prachi treats every research note like a detective novel and there’s always another clue waiting to be uncovered. She asks the questions nobody thought of, catches details everyone else missed, and somehow manages to make the entire team rethink conclusions they were already convinced about it. Around here, curiosity isn’t just encouraged, instead it spreads because of her.

Frequently heard asking: “Okay... but why?”

Office Reputation: Responsible for at least 73% of the team’s “Let’s revisit this” moments.

Aditya

The Growth Gladiator

Connect on LinkedIn

Aditya has an interesting relationship with the word “No”—he simply treats it as the beginning of a longer conversation. Armed with relentless optimism, genuine warmth and an infectious smile, he builds relationships that last far beyond the first meeting. Because exceptional research only creates value when it reaches the right investors.

Personal KPI: Turning conversations into lasting relationships.

Office Reputation: Can walk into a room full of strangers and walk out with future friends.
