An independent equity research and model portfolio practice operating under the SEBI (Research Analysts) Regulations, 2014 — built on transparency, accountability, and regulatory rigour.
Sentinel Research Private Limited is a SEBI registered Research Analyst entity under the SEBI (Research Analysts) Regulations, 2014, as amended. We operate within the supervisory framework of the BSE Administration & Supervision Limited (BASL) — the designated Research Analyst Administration and Supervisory Body (RAASB).
Our charter is narrow and deliberate: produce independent, evidence-backed research on listed Indian equities and disciplined model portfolios — and disclose, completely, the basis on which every recommendation is made.
We do not execute trades on behalf of clients. We do not promise returns. We do not solicit account credentials. Every report carries the disclosures SEBI requires, including financial interest, methodology, investment horizon, and any use of AI tools in our analytical workflow.
Every report follows the same architecture, regardless of sector or thesis. Methodology is policy, not preference.
We do not publish research as a stream of opinions. We publish it as a discipline: a small number of names, deeply covered, with a stated investment horizon, an articulated thesis, named risks, and a clear conviction level. The four pillars below define what every Sentinel report contains — and what it never contains.
A name enters coverage only after a six-week qualifying period: financial statement reconstruction, management track record, sector position, and corporate governance review. We do not initiate coverage on illiquid micro-caps or stocks without two consecutive years of audited filings.
Every initiation report runs to roughly fourteen pages and contains the same nine sections: thesis, financials, valuation, scenarios, sector context, governance, risks, disclosures, and methodology footnotes. Update notes follow a four-page format pinned to the original thesis.
Every recommendation states an explicit conviction tier (High / Moderate / Watchlist), a target investment horizon in months, and a defined invalidation level. Thesis breakdowns trigger an out-of-cycle review note within five working days.
Every report passes two-stage internal review: factual accuracy and disclosure compliance. AI tools are used for screening and data extraction — never for thesis generation or final language. Use of AI is disclosed in the MITC per the 2024 Amendment.
Before engaging with any research provider, SEBI strongly recommends verifying registration directly on the official SEBI website. The details below are the complete record of our authorisation.
We provide research services under Regulation 2(u) of the SEBI (RA) Regulations, 2014. We do not execute trades, manage portfolios, or accept funds from clients for investment.
Sentinel maintains active coverage across eight sectors of the Indian listed equity universe. We deliberately keep the coverage list compact: every name receives an initiation report, scheduled quarterly updates, and event-driven notes. Names that fall below our liquidity or governance thresholds are dropped — formally announced with a final report.
The numbers below reflect our current active coverage. They are updated at the end of every fiscal quarter and are part of the disclosures filed with our annual compliance audit.
Sentinel is a small, deliberately concentrated team. The principals named below are personally accountable for every report we publish.
