In response to several questions we have received over the past few days, we are issuing this clarification. We would like to clearly and unequivocally state our position and provide transparency to our students and community network.
We are fully cooperative with SEBI and remain committed to providing any additional information or assistance they may require. We welcome their guidance to ensure adherence to the highest standards of compliance and transparency.
In recent days, certain misinformation has been circulating, which we feel needs clarification. Avadhut Sathe Trading Academy (ASTA) is an educational and training institution. We are not a financial advisory service or a finfluencer platform. We follow the traditional Gurukul model of education, emphasizing values and discipline, aimed at empowering participants with the right skills, mindset, and structure to navigate the capital markets effectively.
Our goal is to create a collaborative and supportive ecosystem. We believe that our training not only imparts knowledge about capital markets but also provides emotional support to help individuals deal with both ups and downs in their journey.
At ASTA, our core mission is to empower independent traders and investors through structured training programs. Our sessions are designed to build analytical, executional, and decision-making skills, ensuring that our students are equipped to trade with knowledge, discipline, and confidence.
We acknowledge and appreciate the vital role of SEBI in shaping India’s capital markets. Thanks to its active and transparent regulation, India now stands as the fourth-largest equity market in the world. As of August 2025, the number of demat accounts has crossed 200 million, reflecting strong investor participation and financial inclusion.
To sustain and enhance this growth, it is essential to continue structured training initiatives and investor awareness programs. These efforts play a crucial role in preparing individuals to participate responsibly and effectively in India’s capital markets.
