Research-Driven investing across Global markets

A veteran investor and Chartered Accountant, Ajay Kumar Gupta incorporated IFPL in 1995 with the mandate of research-driven investing across multiple asset classes. With a career built on navigating complex market cycles, he has established a reputation for disciplined capital allocation and long-term value creation.

His investment approach centres on macroeconomic and geopolitical analysis - reading interest rate cycles, currency movements, commodity trends and cross-border capital flows to position portfolios for risk-adjusted returns. This research-led framework has been applied across market cycles for over 30 years, ensuring the company remains future-ready and firmly anchored in fundamental research and operational excellence.

Abhinav Gupta serves as Director at IFPL, spearheading the company's focus on data-led and system-driven investment methodologies.

His approach is supported by a background in finance, technology, and corporate strategy, including experience at Google and Deloitte. Abhinav is a CFA charterholder and holds an MBA from the University of Michigan. His work at IFPL combines quantitative, system-based execution with deep fundamental research.

Neeraj Gupta has been an integral part of Integrated Fincap for over two decades, and today leads the company's unlisted shares vertical.

In a segment where off-market access and pricing discipline are equally critical, his long association with the market provides the counterparty relationships and valuation framework that drive IFPL's approach. Under his direction, the unlisted shares vertical has become a core pillar of the company's offering.
