Dad Quant: Building Portfolios and Lego Towers

Hey, I’m Akshay — a full-time dad to a toddler and a part-time data geek (or maybe it’s the other way around). Between Lego towers and market charts, I’ve built this space for traders, students, and anyone curious about how numbers shape the markets. This platform is built primarily for the Indian trading and investing community, which has long lacked accessible, data-driven resources in this space. My goal is to bridge that gap by sharing practical guides, tools, and insights rooted in quantitative analysis. Whether you’re a student, trader, or data curious, I’m here to bring you closer to the numbers that move markets — fast, clear, and locally relevant.
