Akshay Gulati previously ran Tradewise, an edtech brand teaching stock market principles. Many students frequently asked for a checklist to speed up their fundamental stock analysis. Gulati combined his investing frameworks with emerging AI models to launch SuperInvesting AI.

😟 Problem

India has roughly 130 million unique long-term stock market investors. Many lack the time and financial modeling skills required to analyze balance sheets and assess management quality. As a result, retail investors often rely on unregulated financial influencers.

💡 Solution

The startup offers an AI-enabled stock research platform from a SEBI-registered research analyst:

• Automated research: AI agents evaluate sector trends, financials, technicals, and investor sentiment for individual stocks.
• Framework integration: The models apply established investment strategies from notable investors like Warren Buffett and Peter Lynch.
• Instant analysis: Users search for a stock and receive an immediate evaluation score and analytical summary.
• Model portfolios: The platform offers portfolios designed collaboratively by human equity researchers and AI models.

📊 Market size

The company estimates a total addressable market of 100 million users in India. At a conservative annual subscription price of 5,000 rupees (about US$52), below its current effective price of about 6,700 rupees (about US$70) a year on the 3-year plan, this represents a 50,000 crore rupee (US$5.2 billion) annual revenue opportunity.

🤝 Team

Akshay Gulati. Founder. He previously built a stock market edtech platform with one million registered learners.

🚀 Traction

• 15,000 paid subscribers, each paying 20,000 rupees (US$210) for a 3-year membership, or about 30 crore rupees (US$3.1 million) in total contract value.
• Achieved a 60% weekly active engagement rate among paid users.
• Accumulated around 50,000 free users on the platform.

🏆 Competition

SuperInvesting AI competes with platforms like Multibagg.ai. The startup differentiates itself by operating as a registered research analyst under India’s market regulator. This regulatory status allows the company to provide definitive investment advice.

💰 Financials

The company operates on a subscription business model. It is completely bootstrapped and currently profitable. A profitable parent edtech company provides financial backing to support scaling without requiring external venture funding.

The startup targets 1,000 crore rupees (US$105 million) in annual revenue by the end of 2030, about 2% of the total addressable market (TAM), or roughly 2 million paying subscribers.
