Not financial advice. Aktai is software for SEBI-registered Research Analysts. It is not a financial adviser, broker, Investment Adviser, or Research Analyst, and is not registered with SEBI or any other financial regulator. It surfaces public filings and news and drafts factual notes for the registered analyst to review, edit, and sign. Aktai does not author research, make recommendations, or decide what any security is worth. The view, the recommendation, and the regulatory responsibility stay with the registered analyst who sends the note. Full disclaimer →
