Our Journey
Investment Ideas traces its roots back to the year 2000, when Mr. Akash Gujarati and Mr. Manooj Dharamshi began working together. That early collaboration laid the groundwork for a professional partnership that has navigated multiple market cycles.
The Foundation
At ICICI Securities, Akash and Manooj built the fundamentals mastering financial sales and client relationships that would later shape how Investment Ideas engages with every investor. These formative years taught them the discipline of understanding client needs.
The Digital Shift
At Angel One, they stood at the forefront of the e-broking revolution, gaining deep technical insight into Equities, IPOs, and the emerging Futures & Options segment — expertise that would later inform Investment Ideas' product breadth.
Wealth Management Roots
At Philip Capital, the focus shifted to Wealth Management, where they learned to structure long-term strategies for high-net-worth individuals — a discipline that became core to how Investment Ideas approaches every client relationship.
Strategic Depth
The tenure at Edelweiss Financial Services added advanced derivative strategies and IPO financing to their expertise, rounding out the strategic toolkit they would bring to their own venture.
The Birth of Investment Ideas
After a decade of experience across broking, wealth management, and structured finance, Akash and Manooj made a deliberate decision to build something of their own.
This vision gave rise to Investment Ideas, founded on the principle that individual investors deserve the same depth of expertise typically reserved for the largest portfolios.

Akash Gujarati
Co-Founder | MBA Finance
Akash anchors the wealth management function at Investment Ideas, drawing on more than 25 years of experience across India's financial markets. His approach is grounded in the core principles of wealth management — asset allocation, diversification, and goal-based planning ensuring every portfolio is structured around a client's financial objectives, life stage, and risk appetite, rather than short-term market movements.
Over the course of his career, Akash has worked across broking, wealth management, and structured finance, giving him a well-rounded understanding of how markets behave across different cycles. This experience reinforces his belief in disciplined, long-term wealth planning favoring sustainable strategy, periodic portfolio review, and risk-adjusted decision-making over speculation or short-term gains.
Manooj Dharamshi
Co-Founder | MBA Marketing
Manooj leads client relationships and business development at Investment Ideas, overseeing how the firm engages with investors across private broking and diverse asset classes. His focus is on building a client experience rooted in trust, transparency, and genuine understanding — ensuring that every conversation goes beyond numbers to consider the individual and family goals behind each portfolio.
As the driving force behind the firm's client-first philosophy, Manooj works to ensure every financial roadmap is thoughtfully tailored to a client's life stage, family dynamics, and personal risk appetite. He also plays a key role in shaping how the firm's advisory and sales teams engage with clients, setting the standard for responsiveness, clarity, and long-term relationship management across the organization.
