For SEBI-registered Research Analysts

The whole research desk, feature by feature

From a corporate filing to a hashed, inspection-ready record of the note you sent. Here is exactly what Aktai does for a SEBI-registered Research Analyst, in detail.

AI research note drafts

Paste a filing, get a factual draft in seconds. You keep the pen.

Hand Aktai a filing and it returns a factual research-note draft: a plain-language summary, the key facts, and a placeholder for your view. It is deliberately descriptive, never a buy or sell call. The model output is stored read-only and your edits live in a separate version, so the original draft and your final note are both kept for the record.

  • Factual summary, not a recommendation. You add the analyst view.
  • Drafts land in a few seconds, kept tight by design, no padding
  • The original AI draft is immutable; your edited version is tracked separately
  • Starter includes 20 notes a month; Professional and Firm are unlimited
All plans · 20/mo on Starter, unlimited above

SEBI Regulation 25 audit trail

Tamper-evident proof of what you sent, to whom, and when. Built for inspection.

Every note you mark as sent is SHA-256 hashed together with its timestamp, the recipient, and the hash of the note before it, forming a chain. Change, delete, or reorder a single record and the chain breaks, which is exactly what an inspector wants to be able to see. Records are kept for five years and export to CSV in one click.

  • SHA-256 hash chain over note content, timestamp, client, and the previous hash
  • Built-in chain verification flags any tampering, deletion, or reordering
  • Five-year retention, matching the SEBI record-keeping window
  • One-click CSV export with content, recipient, hash, and timestamp columns

Aktai keeps the record. Compliance with Regulation 25 remains your responsibility as the registered analyst.

Client onboarding

PAN to signed agreement, without the paperwork shuffle.

A guided flow takes a new client from PAN verification through Aadhaar eSign of the client agreement and a SEBI suitability questionnaire. Each step is recorded, and each risk assessment is stored as an immutable record, so you can show exactly what a client was profiled as and when.

  • PAN verified online before anything is signed
  • Aadhaar eSign of the client agreement and Most Important Terms and Conditions, signed copy stored
  • SEBI suitability and risk-profiling questionnaire, stored per assessment, with expiry tracked
  • Clear status trail: started, PAN verified, eSign sent, completed
  • Clients who stop half way get a reminder email in your name: after 24 hours with no progress, at most two, daytime IST only
All plans · India

Client and portfolio tracking

Record each client book once. Aktai routes every event to the right people.

Add a client and their holdings once. From then on, every filing, model-portfolio change, and note is matched against who actually owns the stock, so you never send a metals note to a client who only holds banks.

  • One record per client with their positions and preferred contact channel
  • Holdings decide which clients each note and call reaches
  • Active client count and per-client history at a glance
  • CSV import to bring an existing book in quickly
All plans · India

Multi-channel delivery

Notes reach clients where they already are. Nothing for them to install.

Send notes and calls over WhatsApp, Telegram, or email, per client preference. Every call also goes by email, so no call depends on one app. On WhatsApp it reaches clients even if they never reply, and a Show details button puts the full call in the chat with one tap. If a channel fails, you are told when nothing got through. Clients never download an app.

  • WhatsApp (official Cloud API), Telegram, and email out of the box
  • Every call also sent by email; you can switch email off per client
  • Show details: the full call or note inside WhatsApp with one tap
  • Failed WhatsApp sends move to email or Telegram; you are told if nothing works
  • Clients connect Telegram with a one-tap link, no chat IDs
  • STOP is honoured on WhatsApp and Telegram; replies on both are emailed to you
  • The SEBI-mandated footer is added to every client message. SMS is on the roadmap.
All plans · white-label WhatsApp on Professional and Firm

Trade calls, equity and F&O

Your buy and sell calls, sent to one client or all of them in one go.

Write an equity call with entry, target, stop loss and horizon, or an F&O call with the contract, expiry, lot size and entry range. Send it to one client or broadcast it to many; each client gets it on their own channel, with the SEBI footer added. A staff analyst can draft calls that an RA approves before they go out.

  • Equity and F&O calls, with entry, target and stop loss
  • Broadcast to many clients at once, with a result per client
  • Every send recorded per client: exact text, channel, outcome
  • Maker-checker: staff drafts, RA approves
  • A fixed SEBI caution notice on every F&O call, which no one can edit or remove
All plans · India

Delivery and read tracking

See who got your research, and who read it.

Every send records whether it was delivered and, where the channel reports it, when the client read it. The engagement page rolls this up by channel and by client, so you can see who is reading and who has gone quiet.

  • Delivery rate and read rate for the firm
  • Split by channel: WhatsApp, Telegram, email
  • Per-client history: sent, delivered, read, last activity

Read receipts depend on the channel: WhatsApp and email opens report them, Telegram does not.

All plans · India

Client portal

A private page where each client reads everything you sent them.

Clients sign in with a one-time code sent to their email and read every note you sent them in full, next to the holdings you keep on file for them. No app to install, no password to forget. The portal carries your firm name and logo, and can run on your own domain.

  • Sign-in by email code, session kept for 30 days
  • Full research notes, not just a preview
  • Each client sees only their own records
All plans · India

Compliance calendar and to-do list

Every SEBI deadline and pending task in one list.

The calendar tracks your annual compliance audit, NISM renewal and the tasks you add, and flags what is overdue or due in the next 30 days. The home page shows what needs you today: notes waiting for approval, stalled onboardings, overdue complaints and calls that could not be delivered.

  • Annual audit and NISM renewal added for you
  • Overdue and due-soon flags
  • One home page with everything that needs a decision
All plans · India

Investor complaints register

Log, acknowledge and resolve complaints against the 21-day clock.

Record each investor complaint, acknowledge it and resolve it, with the 21-day SEBI resolution window counted for you. The monthly complaint table for your website is generated from the register, and resolved complaints are frozen and kept for five years.

  • 21-day due date and overdue flag on every complaint
  • Monthly complaint table (Annexure E) generated for you
  • Resolved records locked; nothing is deleted
All plans · India

Audit pack for the annual audit

One download for your auditor, by financial year.

Pick a financial year and get the numbers your annual compliance audit asks for: client count, research sent with the audit-trail check, signed agreements, KYC completion, risk-profile coverage and complaint counts. Download it as a PDF for the auditor and a CSV ledger for the working papers.

  • Per financial year, April to March
  • PDF for the auditor, CSV ledger for the detail
  • Includes your AI-usage disclosure and grievance details

The pack collects your records. The audit itself is done by your auditor.

All plans · India

Ad and promotion pre-check

Check a post or ad against the SEBI advertisement code before it goes out.

Paste a social post, ad or landing-page copy. Aktai checks it against the SEBI advertisement code for Research Analysts and flags problems, such as performance claims before PaRRVA enrolment. You approve or reject it, and the decision is kept as your record.

  • AI check against the RA advertisement code
  • Human approve or reject, with the reason kept
  • A record of every piece of promotion you cleared

A check, not legal advice. The final call is yours.

All plans · India

Compliance toolkit

The smaller SEBI obligations, handled in the same portal.

Keep a restricted list and have staff request clearance before they trade; requests on restricted stocks are flagged and the owner approves or rejects. Generate your AI-usage disclosure from your own registration details, ready to publish. Agreements are versioned, and each client consent is tied to the exact version they signed.

  • Restricted list and employee trade pre-clearance
  • AI-usage disclosure statement and client clause, generated
  • Agreement versions with consent per version
  • Interaction log per client: inbound WhatsApp and Telegram replies, website enquiries, and the calls and meetings you add, with the call recording attached

Branded client reports

PDF reports in your colours, with your disclaimer.

Design your report template once: accent colour, tagline, footer disclaimer and which sections to include. Every client PDF report then goes out in that style, under your name.

  • Choose which sections each report includes
  • Your colour, tagline and footer disclaimer

Your brand on every channel

Your domain, your email address, your bots.

Run the client portal on your own domain with a single DNS record; the certificate is issued and renewed for you. Send email from your own address, Telegram from your own bot and WhatsApp from your own number. White-label accounts can also email former clients your latest offers, in your branding.

  • Client portal on your own domain, one CNAME record
  • Email from your own verified domain
  • Your own Telegram bot and WhatsApp number

Model portfolios

Publish a basket with the disclosures the 2026 SEBI circular requires baked in.

Build a model portfolio as a set of constituents with weights, then publish it. Weights must total 100% and the SEBI February 2026 Master Circular disclosures must be filled in before it can be published, and a published basket is locked: clone it to make changes.

  • Constituents with weights, validated to total 100% before publish
  • Publish refused until the SEBI Feb-2026 Master Circular disclosures are filled in
  • Published baskets are locked; clone one to change it

India only.

Professional and Firm · India only

Fee plans and invoicing

Recurring retainers or one-off fees, invoiced from the same desk.

Set up fee plans, recurring retainer or one-time, attach them to clients, and raise invoices and GST invoices without leaving Aktai. Clients pay you directly through your own payment link; you mark invoices paid. Aktai never collects or holds client money.

  • Recurring retainer or one-time fee plans, per client
  • Invoices generated and tracked inside the portal
  • Your own payment link on every invoice, GST invoice PDF, paid status tracked
  • Your UPI collection ID checked as a SEBI validated handle (name.ra@valid plus your bank)
  • Refund worked out for you when a client leaves early (unused period, no breakage fee) or if your registration is suspended for over 60 days or cancelled
Professional and Firm · India

Maker-checker approvals

A second set of eyes before anything leaves the firm.

On Firm accounts, an analyst who is not the owner submits a note for approval rather than sending it directly. The owner approves or rejects with a reason, and the whole exchange is logged. Solo practices skip this and send straight away.

  • Non-owner analysts submit; the owner approves or rejects with a reason
  • Approval and rejection are recorded in the activity log
  • Automatically skipped for solo, Starter, and Professional accounts
Firm tier · India

Team accounts and roles

Add analysts with the right level of access, not a shared password.

Invite team members by email with a defined role. Owners run the firm, analysts get product access, and research staff can draft notes and calls that an RA approves. Seats are capped by plan, and member management stays with the owner.

  • Owner, Analyst and Research staff roles, invited by email with a setup link
  • Up to 5 team members on Firm; solo on Starter and Professional
  • Owner-only member management, with the full activity log behind it
Firm tier · up to 5 seats

Firm website, built and hosted

A public website for your practice, live in days, no developer needed.

Aktai designs, builds and hosts a website for your firm: your services, your team, and your SEBI-mandated RA disclosures, all in place from day one. Send us your logo, colours and a few lines about your practice, and we handle design, hosting and your domain.

  • Custom site on your own domain, designed and hosted by Aktai
  • SEBI-mandated RA disclosures included by default
  • No developer or agency needed. You approve copy and design, we publish
  • Already have a site? We add the onboarding button below to it instead

Client onboarding from your website

A visitor becomes a fully onboarded client before you ever see their name.

Your website carries a "Become a client" button wired into the same onboarding flow used inside the Aktai portal. A prospect verifies PAN, eSigns the client agreement and completes the SEBI suitability questionnaire, start to finish, on your site.

  • One button starts PAN verification, eSign and risk profiling
  • No manual data entry. Completed onboardings land straight in your client list
  • Same status trail and audit record as onboarding started inside the portal
  • Works on an Aktai-built site or an existing site with the embed added

The workflow

From filing to locked record in under a minute

The features above are not islands. This is the loop they form on a normal working day.

1

Add your clients once

Record each client's holdings, or import them from CSV. Every note and call then goes only to the clients who hold the stock.

2

Generate a factual draft

Paste a filing and one click sends it to the model. A factual note comes back in seconds: summary, key facts, and a slot for your view.

3

Edit, approve, and send

Add your view, pick recipients from your client list, and send over WhatsApp, Telegram, or email. On Firm, a note can route through owner approval first.

4

The audit trail locks itself

The moment a note is marked sent, it is SHA-256 hashed into the chain. Export the whole record as CSV for SEBI inspection whenever you need it.

How Aktai compares

One desk, not four half-tools

Most Research Analysts run on a spreadsheet, a charting app, a broadcast channel and some generic software, stitched together by hand. Here is what each kind of tool does and does not cover, against a desk built for the SEBI RA workflow.

Feature FAQ

Which features come on which plan?

AI note drafts, client onboarding, portfolio tracking, multi-channel delivery, and the full Regulation 25 audit trail are on every plan. White-label WhatsApp, model portfolios, and fee plans with invoicing start on Professional. Maker-checker approvals, multi-analyst seats, a firm website built and hosted by Aktai, and client onboarding embedded on that website are on Firm. The matrix above lays it out row by row.

Are the AI notes giving buy or sell recommendations?

No. Aktai drafts are factual: a summary of the filing and its key facts, with a placeholder for your analyst view. The recommendation is yours to write. The original AI draft is stored read-only and your edited version is tracked separately, so both are on the record.

How does the Regulation 25 audit trail actually prove nothing was changed?

Each sent note is SHA-256 hashed with its content, timestamp, recipient, and the hash of the previous note. That links every record into a chain. If anyone edits, deletes, or reorders a note after the fact, the chain no longer verifies. Records are retained for five years and export to CSV with content, recipient, hash, and timestamp columns.

Do my clients need to install anything?

No. Clients receive notes on WhatsApp, Telegram, or email, with no app to download and no password. If you use the branded client portal, a client opens it with a secure link or a one-time code sent to their email.

Is this built only for India, or for other markets too?

India only. Aktai is built for SEBI-registered Research Analysts in India: Regulation 25 record-keeping, model portfolios and trade calls are India-specific.

Records your auditor and your clients can both check

What is live on Aktai for SEBI research analysts, and what it does not do.

Proof

Know where you stand on PaRRVA

Record your PaRRVA enrolment on your compliance page, and let Aktai stop an ad that quotes performance before you are enrolled.

  • Enrolment status and date on your compliance page
  • Ad checks that block performance claims until you are enrolled

Aktai does not verify returns. Only a PaRRVA does that.

Read the PaRRVA enrolment guide
Proof

Your results, by financial year

Realised P&L by month, quarter, half-year and financial year. A spreadsheet for your accountant, a PDF for your auditor.

  • Equity and F&O reported separately
  • Financial year runs April to March, in IST
  • Every report carries the SEBI disclaimer

An internal record. Not PaRRVA verified.

Money

Check the fee plan before it goes out

Set a client's fee and Aktai checks it against the SEBI limit, on the amount the client pays, before the plan exists. A plan that breaks the limit does not get created.

  • Totals a client's family, not just one plan
  • Checks the amount the client pays, GST included
  • Refuses plans that collect more than a year in advance

Aktai checks plans you enter. It does not set your fees or give legal advice.

Try the fee cap checker
Money

Clients renew when someone asks

Seven days before a client's plan ends, a reminder goes out in your name with your payment link, once a day until they renew.

  • Sent in your name, from your own address when you have set one up
  • Your payment link and UPI ID in the email
  • Stops as soon as the client renews

A reminder, not a charge. Aktai never touches the money.

Equity clients get equity calls

Tag a call as equity, stock F&O, index F&O or commodity. It goes only to clients whose plan includes that segment, and you see how many that is before you send.

  • Preview the recipient count
  • Clients with no plan on file keep getting everything, as today
  • Changes apply to the next send, not past ones

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 →
