Market Maestroo secures SEBI approval as Registered Research Analyst
Market Maestroo Private Limited has achieved a landmark by receiving registration from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to operate as a Registered Research Analyst (RA), the firm confirmed on Tuesday.
The company is the first finfluencer-led firm to obtain the SEBI-RA license, marking a breakthrough moment in India’s financial advisory sector.
Specializing in value investing, Market Maestroo focuses on uncovering undervalued stocks designed to support long-term wealth creation.
Leadership with international expertise
The firm is spearheaded by directors Ankit Yadav and Kritika Yadav, both with global financial backgrounds.
Ankit Yadav, a USA-certified wealth manager and economist, brings 15+ years of international experience in value investing and IPO strategies. His expertise lies in sustainable long-term investment models.
Kritika Yadav, a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) from the USA and one of only around 2,000 CFPs in India, also holds an MBA in Finance. She contributes extensive knowledge in financial planning and portfolio structuring.
Value investing focus and launch strategy
Market Maestroo’s foundation is built on value investing principles, with research centered on undervalued securities. The firm is set to roll out its full research services by Diwali, alongside the launch of its official website.
The company aims to fill a major gap in India’s advisory ecosystem. Despite having over 140 crore people in need of financial guidance, there are only about 2,000–3,000 registered advisors available, creating vast unmet demand.
Director Ankit Yadav noted, “Receiving SEBI’s approval solidifies our mission to deliver institutional-grade research to Indian investors. Millions are still exposed to misinformation, and we are determined to change that by expanding our analyst team across the country.”
Transforming financial guidance in India
Kritika Yadav added, “Becoming the first finfluencers with SEBI RA registration is more than recognition—it sets a benchmark. We hope this inspires others to adopt compliance and bring transparency to financial advice. Our vision has always been to make expert, research-driven strategies accessible to all Indian investors.”
Expansion and sector growth
Market Maestroo plans to expand its workforce by onboarding more registered analysts, ensuring broader coverage and greater impact nationwide.
This approval positions the company within India’s fast-growing registered research analyst ecosystem, at a time when demand for independent research and value investing insights is on the rise.
