SEBI Registered Investment Adviser • Individual RIA | Hyderabad
20+ years leading technology teams at global organisations. Years of hands-on experience in the Indian capital markets. SEBI-mandated Investment Adviser (Level 1 & 2). And one deeply held belief — that the best financial advice comes from someone who has lived the working professional's financial journey from the inside.
For over two decades, I built mission-critical software systems for organisations across the USA and India — rising to Director of Development — while also founding DotNetFunda.com, one of India's most visited Microsoft .NET platforms. But like many in Hyderabad's tech ecosystem, I earned well and managed my money poorly. When I finally began investing seriously, I ran into what most IT professionals eventually do — advice shaped by commissions, not conviction.
That experience changed everything. After years of actively investing through multiple market cycles, I cleared the SEBI-mandated NISM Investment Adviser Level 1 & 2 examinations and registered as a SEBI Registered Investment Adviser. Today, IshaVasu is the practice I wished had existed when I needed it — bringing two decades of systems thinking together with hands-on market experience to deliver advice that's practical, evidence-based, and jargon-free. Built entirely around your goals. No commissions. No conflicts. No guesswork.

SEBI-mandated Investment Adviser Level 1 & 2
Unlike traditional financial planners, I speak the language of the working professional — because I have been one for over two decades.
Deadlines, ESOPs, annual appraisals, career pivots, relocation packages — I have navigated them all in Hyderabad's tech ecosystem. The financial challenges of a software professional are not abstract to me; they are lived experience.
A software engineer's mindset — logic, modularity, risk management, scalability — translates directly into sound personal finance. I build portfolios the way I built software: evidence-based, structured, and designed to perform over time without constant intervention.
I translate complex SEBI regulations, market volatility, and investment instruments into clear, actionable language you can actually use. If you can understand a system architecture diagram, you can understand your financial plan — when it is explained the right way.
Three principles guide every client engagement, every recommendation, and every conversation.
I charge an advisory fee and nothing else. No trail commissions, no product referrals, no incentives from manufacturers. This is not just a business model — it is a commitment to your interests over mine.
Under SEBI (Investment Advisers) Regulations, 2013, I am legally required to act in your best interest. Every recommendation is documented with its rationale, assessed risk, and suitability for your specific profile.
Financial plans that are hard to understand are hard to follow. The best plan is one you actually stick with — clear, practical, and built to last through market cycles and life changes.
Fraudsters sometimes impersonate SEBI-registered advisers to deceive investors. Protect yourself — always verify any adviser's credentials directly on SEBI's official portals before sharing money or personal information.
You can confirm my SEBI RIA registration (INA000022844) is active and valid at any time on SEBI's official website.
If you suspect impersonation or have a complaint about any financial adviser, reach out to SEBI directly:
If you are looking for investment advice that puts your interests first — with no commissions, clear fees, and full regulatory accountability — I would be glad to connect.
There is no obligation in an initial conversation. We can discuss your situation, I can explain my process, and you can decide if this is the right fit for you.
