Nakul Sarda is the founder of ProfitGate Capital Services LLP, a SEBI-registered Portfolio Management Services firm focused on Indian equities, with approximately $150 million in total assets under management and advisement. With over 18 years of experience across equity investing, proprietary trading, and derivatives, he brings a practitioner’s lens to Indian markets.
Nakul began his career on the sell side, working in investment banking at ENAM Securities (now Axis Capital), Mumbai, where he was involved in equity capital markets transactions. The transition from advising on deals to managing capital on the buy side came when he took the entrepreneurial leap of returning to his hometown of Nagpur to build ProfitGate from the ground up. In a digital world where information flows are seamless, real-time data is universally accessible, and execution infrastructure is platform-agnostic, geography is no longer a constraint on investment quality — and Nakul set out to prove exactly that.
What started as a proprietary investment practice has since grown into a full-spectrum wealth and portfolio management firm, backed by a dedicated team across research, trading, compliance, and client advisory. The firm today serves clients across India, bringing a blend of sell-side rigour and buy-side conviction to every investment decision. ProfitGate’s strength lies not in any single individual but in its team’s collective discipline — a shared commitment to deep research, risk management, and long-term thinking that drives every portfolio decision.
He holds an MBA in Finance from Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies (JBIMS), Mumbai, and an engineering degree, giving him a distinctive analytical and technical foundation in investment management. Nakul writes on India’s structural growth story, macro resilience, and long-term investment themes.
