Running Solo Primary Research

Parth builds research from the ground up, designing and executing field checks without a team behind him. At IDBI Capital, he ran cement channel checks across four regions of India, building dealer networks from scratch and synthesizing pricing power dynamics that shaped how the buy-side thought about sector consolidation. His approach is to get as close to the source as possible: calling dealers, visiting localities, and pressing management on the questions they'd rather not answer. The result is research that carries ground-level texture most desk-based analysis misses.

Independent Sector Conviction

Parth forms sector views independently, connecting macro signals to company-level dynamics before the consensus catches up. His paper sector thesis is a clear example: he connected Indonesia's pulp export restrictions to the margin advantage of backward-integrated Indian players, pressure-tested the logic with promoter conversations, and initiated coverage before the market move. He applies the same pattern to background sectors he is not actively covering, weaving cross-sector signals into his live work, such as connecting real estate price trends to cement demand dynamics. The conviction comes from doing the work at the source, not from reading what others have already written.

Owning Coverage End to End

Parth takes coverage stories from initial brief to published output, managing every stage without being handed a playbook. For Brigade Hotels, he ran the management conversations, built the financial model including EV/EBITDA and sensitivity analysis, led the revenue buildup, and delivered the initiating coverage report. He is comfortable with the parts of coverage that require judgment under uncertainty: deciding what questions to ask management, how to frame a difficult conversation, and how to translate messy findings into a clear investment view. This makes him effective in research environments where ownership is expected from day one.
