Running Primary Research End to End
Naman designs and executes primary research workstreams from scratch, without a team around him. He scopes the research question, identifies the right expert sources, conducts the interviews, and synthesizes findings into a clear point of view. This pattern has shown up across BMS IC chips, drone technology, and consumer gifting behavior. In each case, he owned the full arc from sector orientation through to the insight that shaped the decision. His instinct is to backtrack from the demand side first. He reaches out to the people who would buy or use the product before forming a view on the product itself, because validation has to come from the consumer side. The result is research that moves decisions rather than documents them.

Synthesizing Research into Investment Conviction
Naman takes sector research and turns it into a clear investment thesis, not a data summary. He identifies the one insight that actually matters for the decision and builds the case around it. In the BMS IC deal, he zeroed in on the on-chip EIS capability and the patentable current specification rather than the market size, because that was the defensible differentiation. In the drone deal, he identified the post-conflict procurement shift as the structural catalyst that made the timing right. His approach is to find the thread that connects technical differentiation, demand validation, and policy tailwinds into a single coherent thesis. The investment memo is the output, but the conviction comes from the primary research that preceded it. Both deals at Udyat moved to investment based on research he ran and presented.

Sector Intuition in Indian Markets
Naman tracks Indian markets independently, forming structured points of view on where sectors are heading before a deal requires it. His fintech analysis, built from reading rather than live deal work, shows a clear framework: the payment rails chapter is written, digital lending is the consensual opportunity because of the data layer, and embedded finance is underappreciated. He reads across consulting reports, podcasts, and sector publications, and synthesizes them into a layered view that distinguishes between what is happening and what it means for capital allocation. This instinct also showed up in his BMS IC research, where he identified the automotive semiconductor segment as niche within the broader IC market before any deal was on the table. The pattern is early-stage: one sector analyzed in depth independently, two more through live deal work. It is a developing capability with clear signal.
