Namaste,
My name is Vishnu Katariya, the founder of HDF Academy (High Data Based School of Finance) and an active angel investor. Over the past four years, I have been deeply involved in the Indian financial markets—investing, learning, and understanding the challenges faced by thousands of retail traders.
I started HDF Academy with a clear mission: to address the biggest problems faced by Indian retail traders—lack of practical education, transparent tools, and a supportive learning ecosystem. Our Academy is built on real market experience and modern data-driven strategies, aiming to empower everyone—from absolute beginners to seasoned investors.
As both a finance educator and angel investor, I am passionate about mentoring new investors and backing innovative startups in the fintech space. Every course and resource at HDF Academy is crafted to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world financial success.
