Empowering Investors Since 1986
A Legacy of Trust and Excellence
Founded in 1986 by late Shri Vijaysingh Padode, DSIJ is among India’s oldest and most respected equity research and publishing houses. Over the last 40+ years, we have developed a proprietary research technique honed by decades of experience in the markets - combining historical wisdom with modern tools. Rajesh V Padode took over the reins in 2007 and has since successfully led the company, strengthened its research ecosystem and expanded its reach in the digital era. Today, the legacy continues with Kaamini Padode, the third generation of the family to carry forward the vision of democratizing wealth creation. We make investing accessible and rewarding for every Indian.
