Investment is an art that every investor learns by experiencing absolute obscurity at the beginning and then reaching heights of success with patience and persistence.
Ankit Yadav is no stranger to the heights of success in his journey as an investor and entrepreneur. Ankit has worked his way up the ladder with his resolute attitude and his perseverance during times of difficulty.
Starting his journey from a small town in Chhattisgarh, India, Ankit has pivoted his way to the top with his unique vision as an investor and leader.
Featuring as the Cover of Exeleon’s Admired Global Leaders of the Year, we look into the story of Ankit Yadav and what makes him a pioneer.
Early Days
Today, Ankit is a well-known Indian Investor and Wealth Manager from the United States. However, his journey started in his hometown back in Bhilai, Chhattisgarh.
He pursued a Bachelor of Engineering from the Bhilai Institute of Technology and further completed his Master’s degree in Business Administration (Finance) from Narsee Monjee College of Commerce and Economics. He is also a gold medalist in Economics (USA).
He discovered his enthusiasm for the stock market at a young age and even started investing at a few stock options. However, his focus on higher education steered him away from the field.
Years later, when Ankit opened his Stock account, he saw a booming portfolio for the ones he had earlier invested in. This was a moment of realization for Ankit about the industry and its potential returns. Soon enough, he decided to start investing again and build an even better portfolio.
Laying the Foundation of Market Maestro
As Ankit continued to improve his skill and market knowledge, he earned a reputation of being a successful investor.
He was now determined to use this knowledge to help guide others as well. He thought, if he can do it for himself, he can teach others how to create wealth from investing.
As a result, Ankit started his own YouTube channel “Market Maestroo.”
Soon, he attained success with his channel and decided to form his company Market Maestroo Pvt. Ltd. to provide free education to budding investors across the globe.
About Market Maestroo
Market Maestro is a one-stop platform providing everything under one roof, from budgeting to stock analysis, saving to investing, and debt repayment.
Ankit is a firm believer in educating individuals about the importance of financial planning beyond good advice and investment returns.
His knowledge of the subject, combined with market research, helps individuals understand the concept of money management.
He aims to offer vital stock market knowledge and education to the general public with a particular focus on raising stock market awareness in areas where there are few opportunities for stock market education.
Through his extensive and descriptive videos on a variety of finance-related topics, he upskills and prepares people to manage their finances.
Being well-versed in the financial market, Ankit believes that knowledge should be shared rather than hoarded and he continues to do so with Market Maestroo.
An Influential Leader
The approach of discipline with patience makes one an influential leader.
Ankit is an excellent investor, an astute instructor, and a wealth manager in the United States.
He has several degrees under his belt, including accreditation in Wealth Management, SEBI Investment Advisor, Investment Research, and Advisory from the National Institute of Securities Markets (NISM, India).
Currently, he is among one of the highest taxpayers in India and also one of the youngest millionaires.
Moreover, Ankit has won many honorable recognitions for his exemplary work in the finance sector. This includes:
- Entrepreneur Award of the Year in India (2022)
- Outstanding Achievement of the Year 2022
- Entrepreneur 30 Under 30 Award 2022
- Press Stone 40 Under 40 Award 2022
With such exceptional achievements and success to his name, Ankit has turned all his dreams into realities. He is living his best life and is at the top of his game.
However, the behind-the-scenes of his successful journey account for struggles and challenges, which he overcame with sheer hard work.
Ankit fondly states, “For me, success is not a destination, it’s a journey. So, to be on a journey, you have to fight hard every day. You have to maintain the position first in which you are, then slowly looking to move forward from there.”
Staying Focused
Ankit believes that focus is an essential aspect to achieve all goals. One has to be focused and have patience in their journey.
He backs his statement by quoting, “We all know that patience is bitter, but its fruit is always sweet. It’s always going to take time for the seeds you plant to bloom. So have patience and try not to pluck them too soon.”
Hence, his advice to young entrepreneurs is always to stay focused on the process and be disciplined towards them. With the right process, one can achieve every possible outcome they have aimed for.
Bitten by the Reading Bug
Ankit claims books to be the greatest teacher ever. During his growing up years, Ankit loved reading books of all kinds. This habit has today formed as the foundation of Ankit’s strong mental fortitude and vast knowledge base.
Every book on investment and wealth generation developed his passion for the field.
Two of his favorite books are The Intelligent Investor and The Warren Buffet Way. Right from the start, Warren Buffet has been Ankit’s idol.
His habit of reading continues to date. He continues to read at least 50-100 pages on investing daily. He believes in the words of Benjamin Franklin, “An investment in the knowledge always pays the best interest.”
Just like reading, he loves to keep learning about investing every day.
He mentions, “Each day I’m enjoying learning a new trick, a new thing, or a new valuation model. The passion inside me keeps me motivated and I’m going ahead day by day. For young entrepreneurs, my only advice is to love what you do, All the successful people do what they love, what they enjoy. Find your passion and start working on it. Always remember, an entrepreneur with great passion can make the impossible happen.”
Ankit’s Top Economic Projections
The stock market is a profit-making industry. With the right investments, one can earn a fortune. However, it is never a cakewalk.
With years of experience, Ankit Yadav has secured his position in the vertical. Today, he is fondly known as the Father of Economic Projections among his ardent followers.
He is also viewed as the next Warren Buffett by many investors for carrying the baton of value investing forward.
His interests include picking the best stocks, conducting stock research, and finding high-quality stocks for members. He also searches for stocks based on their intrinsic value and writes articles on the most important characteristic of stock valuations.
A Take on the Current Market
A market is a volatile place, where the stocks keep changing within a fraction of seconds. Hence, Ankit advises self-balancing when making any investments.
He believes in always keeping 50% cash on hand and investing the rest 50% in different assets like stocks, mutual funds, gold, real estate, etc.
Also, he firmly states that one must always have an emergency fund of 6–12-month expenses. “This is one thing that COVID thought us. Be prepared for the worst to get the best.”
In today’s low-rate scenario, where one merely gets interest on banks, one has to invest in riskier assets like stocks and more with proper discipline and management.
“As soon as Central banks tape the facilities & start hiking rates, the ROI of investors may plunge at that time, investors must need cash to average out their portfolio & hunt the bargain. This is the best time to create wealth. Remember to be Greedy when others are fearful. My piece of advice is to always invest in what you know and that the biggest risk arises when you don’t take the risk,” advises a passionate Ankit.
Expanding New Horizons
Market Maestroo is in the process to launch its IPO’s in the Indian Stock Market (secondary market).
Ankit proudly says that they want to list Market Maestroo in the future and those investors who are investing in their stocks. The company will invest that capital and provide them with long-term compounded growth as well as dividends.
If Market Maestroo can list its IPO on the market, then it will be a one-of-a-kind IPO in India that will invest an investor’s capital in the financial market to create wealth.
