Jaipur, Sept 2025 (Patrika English News): The Avadhut Sathe Trading Academy (ASTA) has issued a statement clarifying its role as a training institution, following recent queries and reports. The academy emphasized that it does not provide investment advisory services, stock recommendations, or assured return schemes.
Cooperation with SEBI
The academy confirmed it is fully cooperating with SEBI and remains committed to maintaining transparency and compliance. “We welcome SEBI’s guidance to ensure the highest standards of compliance and transparency,” the statement noted.
Clarifying Misconceptions
Addressing misinformation, ASTA said:
-
It does not publish research reports or stock recommendations.
-
It does not provide personalized investment advice.
-
It does not give trade tips, stock calls, or assured returns.
Instead, the academy described itself as a learning and training platform based on the Gurukul system, focusing on instilling values, discipline, and skills to help participants navigate capital markets independently.
Focus on Knowledge and Discipline
“At ASTA, our focus has always been to develop independent traders and investors through structured training programs. Our sessions are designed to build analytical, execution, and decision-making skills, ensuring that our students are equipped to trade with knowledge, discipline, and confidence,” the statement added.
Importance of Investor Awareness
The academy also acknowledged SEBI’s critical role in shaping India’s capital markets, noting that India is now the fourth-largest equity market globally, with demat accounts crossing 20 crore as of August 2025.
ASTA said structured training and investor awareness initiatives must remain central to ensuring that individuals participate responsibly in India’s growing financial markets.
