Market Maestroo gets SEBI nod as Registered Research Analyst

Market Maestroo gets SEBI nod as Registered Research Analyst

The financial advisory firm marks a milestone with SEBI clearance for research analyst services, set to launch value investing focused research

New Delhi, India, 12 August: The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has granted registration to Market Maestroo Private Limited to operate as a registered research analyst, the company confirmed on Tuesday.

The company has become the first finfluencer-led company to secure the SEBI-RA licence, marking a revolutionary milestone in India’s financial advisory landscape.

Market Maestroo specializes in value investing strategies and identifying stocks trading below their intrinsic value for long-term wealth creation.

“Please note that the Securities and Exchange Board of India has granted certificate of registration to Market Maestroo Private Limited to act as a Registered Research Analyst,” the company stated in its announcement.

Leadership with global expertise

The firm is led by directors Ankit Yadav and Kritika Yadav, both bringing significant international financial expertise to the Indian market.

Ankit Yadav, a wealth manager with USA credentials, brings over 15 years of global financial experience as an economist. He is known for his expertise in value investing and IPO investment strategies, with a focus on long-term investing approaches.

Kritika Yadav holds a CFP (Certified Financial Planner) designation from the USA and is among only approximately 2,000 CFP professionals in India. She also holds an MBA in Finance, bringing comprehensive financial planning expertise to the firm.

Value investing focus and launch plans Addressing India’s financial guidance gap

Market Maestroo positions itself around value investing principles, focusing on providing research on undervalued securities for its clients. The company plans to launch its comprehensive research services by Diwali, with a website launch expected soon.

The firm aims to address a critical gap in India’s financial ecosystem. With 140+ crore people in the country requiring financial guidance, there are only 2,000-3,000 registered advisors available – a stark mismatch that leaves millions vulnerable to misinformation and incorrect advice.

“We are thrilled to receive this approval and begin our journey as registered research analysts,” said company director Ankit Yadav. “This represents our commitment to bringing institutional-quality research expertise to Indian investors. We have brought a revolution to the country, and in the coming time, we will be adding more research analysts to our team to enhance financial expertise across India. Today, millions of people are still victims of misinformation and wrong advice, and we want to correct this systemic issue.”

Kritika Yadav emphasized the firm’s transformative vision: “We are extremely delighted that we are the first finfluencers to receive registered analyst registration from SEBI. This will also promote others to join with SEBI and provide registered advice under compliance framework. We are now positioned to bring a true financial revolution to the country. Financial literacy and providing accurate, research-backed guidance has been our dream from the beginning. We’re excited to make sophisticated investment strategies and reliable financial advice accessible to every Indian investor who has been underserved by the current system.”

Expansion plans and team building

The company plans to onboard additional research analysts in the coming months to scale its operations and reach more investors across the country.

Growing investment advisory sector

The approval adds Market Maestroo to India’s expanding registered research analyst ecosystem, as more firms seek to provide professional equity research to retail and institutional investors.

The firm’s registration comes at a time when investor interest in independent research and value investing strategies is growing in the Indian market.

Deadline Approaching: Taiwan Excellence Calls for “Go Healthy” Proposals – A Chance to Win $30,000 and a Trip to Taiwan

Deadline Approaching: Taiwan Excellence Calls for “Go Healthy” Proposals – A Chance to Win $30,000 and a Trip to Taiwan

New Delhi [India], August 8: Taiwan is emerging as a powerhouse in the global sports, wellness, and fitness industries–fueled by its cutting-edge manufacturing capabilities and deep-rooted expertise in electronics and ICT infrastructure. The growth is backed by strong market upsurge: Taiwan’s health and wellness sector alone reached USD 15.22 billion in 2024 and is projected to hit USD 20.70 billion by 2033.

Globally, the sports equipment market is on a similar growth trajectory, expected to rise from USD 332.6 billion in 2022 to USD 625.4 billion by 2032. This era of precision performance is all about the gear that powers the game.

At stake are three cash prizes of US$30,000 each, awarded to the most innovative and impactful solutions that redefine the boundaries of wellness. Beyond the prize money, the top six teams will embark on an exclusive “Go Healthy Tour” of Taiwan–an immersive journey into the country’s thriving health tech ecosystem.

Participants will engage in hands-on product demos, insightful site visits, and networking with Taiwan’s leading companies – unlocking future-ready opportunities for collaborations, integrations, and global expansion.

From this foundation of innovation and global outreach, Taiwan continues to deliver industry-defining solutions. From elite badminton rackets and tactical underwater wear to intelligent indoor fitness machines, Taiwanese brands are blending science, design, and athletic ambition to take fitness to the next level. Discover how three pioneering brands – Victor, AROPEC, and Matrix by JHONSON–are redefining the future of sports and fitness with their cutting-edge innovations.

A Racket Fit for a Legend

Inspired by badminton legend Tai Tzu Ying, the Victor TK-TTY Ultima A racket is the flagship of the “YINGcredible – TAI TZU YING Tribute Collection” – a seamless blend of performance, engineering, and elegance. The racket’s diamond-cut texture is the key design element that celebrates Tai’s unparalleled achievements on the badminton court. The collection embraces classic white from Tai’s previous gear, which is highlighted by a distinctive turquoise that reflects her unique and radiant personal style. The broader YINGcredible collection extends beyond rackets to include shoes, bags, tournament apparel, and casual wear, allowing athletes and fans alike to channel Tai’s spirit both on and off the court. More than gear, it’s a tribute to excellence–where inspiration meets innovation.

Crafted in Taiwan, the racket features PYROFIL carbon fiber composites from Japan for lightweight durability and superior shock absorption, enabling precise control with less fatigue. Victor’s Hard Cored Technology–originally developed for helicopters–uses multi-layered carbon fiber for enhanced stability and responsiveness. The ergonomic FREE CORE handle system, designed through computer simulation, ensures smoother swings and greater wrist mobility, offering maximum comfort during intense rallies.

Tactical Performance Meets Aquatic Precision

This military fullsuit features an all-black, low-profile design tailored for tactical use by military units and government procurement projects. Available in 3mm and 5mm thickness options, it offers thermal flexibility across diverse aquatic environments, balancing warmth with mobility.

Its front-low, back-high neckline enhances breathing comfort during movement, while flatlock stitching reduces water penetration and improves overall durability. A robust back zipper includes a flap with a writable name area for easy identification in group or military settings.

Supratex abrasion-resistant fabric reinforces the hips for smoother sliding and increased garment longevity. SRP-reinforced rubber pads at the knees and elbows protect high-wear zones, making the suit ideal for prolonged and demanding use. The 5mm version adds semi-dry cuffs at the wrists and ankles to minimize cold-water seepage and help maintain body temperature. A premium edition includes dual thigh utility pouches for storing flashlights, tools, or small mission-critical items, boosting operational efficiency.

Purpose-built for functionality, durability, and comfort, this professional-grade wetsuit is expertly engineered for high-performance military and large-scale operations.

Smarter Strength Training with Matrix

JHONSON Health Tech Co., Ltd. is transforming the fitness experience through Matrix, a line that blends biomechanics, user-first design, and smart tech. Central to this evolution is the Intelligent Training Console, created with real-world feedback to make strength training more accessible–especially for beginners.

The system simplifies workouts with RFID-enabled login, virtual coaching, and personalized routines based on muscle capability. The standout E-lifting program uses intuitive, color-coded cues–green for push, yellow for return, red for hold–to help users perfect their form and maximize muscle activation.

For trainers and gyms, the console logs data to help assign personalized routines and track progress, creating a connected, results-driven fitness ecosystem. With Matrix, smart strength training is now intuitive, data-informed, and future-ready.

Setting the Global Standard

In a world where innovation drives performance, these three Taiwanese leaders–Victor, AROPEC, Matrix by JHONSON, and the exclusive “Go Healthy With Taiwan” campaign–are setting new benchmarks in the industry. With cutting-edge design, tactical functionality, and human-first thinking, they’re giving athletes and everyday users the tools they need to move smarter, play harder, and live better.

Delhi-Based Lawyer Anshul Kumar Pandey certified by Harvard Law School and Berkman Klein Centre for Internet and Society

Delhi-Based Lawyer Anshul Kumar Pandey certified by Harvard Law School and Berkman Klein Centre for Internet and Society

New Delhi: Delhi based lawyer Anshul Kumar Pandey has received a certificate of successful completion from the Berkman Klein Centre for Internet and Society at Harvard University and the Harvard Law School for having successfully completed the CopyrightX course, which took place over 12 weeks beginning in January of this year. The course is renowned for its rigorous curriculum and selective admission process.

The one of a kind program focuses on copyright law, its application in creative industries, and ongoing global discussions on intellectual property rights. Successful completion of the program means that Pandey, like other successful participants of his cohort, is now eligible for participation in the biennial CopyrightX summit hosted by Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States.

Diverse Global Participation

Pandey was part of an online section consisting of 25 students from 14 different countries, including the United States, Russia, South Korea, Italy, Poland, and India. Born and brought up in Guna, Madhya Pradesh, Pandey is a graduate of the distinguished Faculty of Law, University of Delhi and has nearly a decade of experience in legal advisory. Over the years, he has provided legal counsel to multiple startups and is currently advising a startup in the healthcare sector.

Copyright Law in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

With the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI), legal frameworks governing intellectual property (IP) are facing unprecedented challenges. AI-generated content, automated creative processes, and machine learning models have blurred the traditional boundaries of copyright ownership, raising critical legal and ethical questions.

As India strengthens its position as a global technology and innovation hub, it is essential for legal professionals to engage with emerging international perspectives on AI and intellectual property. Countries worldwide are debating how copyright law should evolve to address AI-generated works.

In February 2024, India’s Union Minister of State for Commerce and Industry, Som Prakash informed the Parliament that the country’s existing IPR regime was well equipped to protect AI generated works and there was no need to create a separate category of rights. However, a year later, Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal informed the audience at an Intellectual Property meet that the Government is planning to engage with experts and young minds for suggestions on changes in regulations to adapt with modern technology.

About CopyrightX

The one of a kind course is famous for its rigorous curriculum and selective admission process. Admission to the online sections is open to individuals; however, enrollment is limited, and the selection process is highly competitive, emphasizing curiosity, enthusiasm, intelligence, and commitment to completing the course.

Applications for the next edition of CopyrightX (January 2026) will open in October 2025.

“Most products in the Indian market claim to be gluten-free, but in reality, they’re produced in facilities where gluten is present, making them unsafe for people who are sensitive to gluten. Their symptoms would return despite eating ‘gluten-free’. To address this growing concern, we’ve launched Dowbox to bring everyday gluten-free pantry essentials and treats, straight to your doorstep, so you can save time and energy spent searching for it,” shares the Dowbox founding team.

Here’s what you get inside your Dowbox:

Snacks & cookies

Dowbox also offers gluten-free gift hampers for festivals, birthdays, Diwali, Rakhi, and other special occasions. Bulk and corporate gifting options are also available. Designed for both individuals and families, it offers monthly, quarterly, and yearly subscription plans:

  • Yearly Plan: Save up to 20% by paying once in a year for monthly boxes
  • Quarterly Plan: Pay once every quarter for your monthly boxes and save 15%
  • Monthly Plan: Pay-as-you-go on a month-by-month basis offering 10% savings

In recent times, children with behavioral, skin, and gut issues are increasingly being advised a gluten-free diet.

At its core, Dowbox stands for affordability, authenticity, and accessibility, with the belief that clean eating should not be a luxury, and that a gluten-free lifestyle should be sustainable, not stressful.

Dowbox ships pan-India via its online store www.dowbox.in. The boxes are thoughtfully packed, and delivered monthly to subscribers’ doorstep. With the rising awareness around gut health, gluten sensitivity, and autoimmune triggers, Dowbox couldn’t have launched at a better time.
