Official Statement with Regards to the SEBI Order

Date: December 5, 2025

Avadhut Sathe Trading Academy (ASTA) categorically denies the allegations mentioned in the SEBI order.

ASTA operates solely as a training institution. Our programmes are educational and aimed at skill building and training in decision making in financial markets among investors and traders.

We are a victim of regulatory vacuum and do not fall under the category of Research Analyst or Investment Adviser. We do not issue stock analysis or recommendations, investment advice or research or execute transactions on behalf of our students.

All interactions, references, and examples used in our sessions are presented purely for educational and conceptual clarity. They are contextual in nature and are not to be construed as advisory or recommendation of any kind.

We therefore believe the regulations cited in the order do not apply to our activities. ASTA has never accrued or garnered any unlawful gains from advisory services or research analyst services. We support clearer recognition of training‑only entities, distinct from advisers or analysts.

We also cannot be classified as a FinInfluencer as we do not monetise any of our YouTube or social media channels such as Instagram or Telegram.

We will take all necessary steps to protect our legal rights. The order will be challenged in the appropriate forum and we have full faith in the legal and judicial framework.
