A Visionary Leader Creating Change Through Education and Empowerment Ankit Yadav, the founder of the Ankit Yadav Foundation, is a renowned wealth manager, investor, and financial educator whose journey is a testament to the power of knowledge, determination, and vision. Born and raised in Bhilai, Chhattisgarh, Ankit began his investment journey at the age of 18 with just ₹5,000 — a humble beginning that would eventually lead to national recognition in the fields of finance and education.
Ankit Yadav is also a SEBI-registered Investment Advisor, recipient of India’s Entrepreneur of the Year (2022) award, and recognized as one of the highest taxpayers in Chhattisgarh. But beyond his professional accolades, it is his desire to give back that led him to create the Ankit Yadav Foundation in 2025
A gold medalist in Economics, Ankit holds a Bachelor of Engineering from Bhilai Institute of Technology and an MBA in Finance from the prestigious Narsee Monjee College of Commerce and Economics. He is the founder and director of Market Maestroo Pvt. Ltd., a successful wealth management firm known for its value investing principles and accurate market analysis. His financial acumen has earned him the nickname "The Next Warren Buffett."
Having built his career through education and strategic thinking, Ankit recognized that millions of children in India are held back not by lack of talent, but by lack of opportunity. This inspired him to start the foundation with a singular goal: to provide education, nourishment, and skill development to the underserved communities of India.
The foundation operates on the principle that education is the most powerful catalyst for change, and every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. Guided by Ankit’s data-driven, analytical mindset, every project launched by the foundation is monitored, measured, and refined for maximum impact.
Whether it’s building rural education centers, offering scholarships, delivering healthcare support, or running financial literacy drives — each initiative is a reflection of Ankit’s belief that true empowerment begins with access to knowledge and basic dignity.
In parallel with his philanthropic work, Ankit Yadav runs the Market Maestroo YouTube channel, a platform dedicated to making financial literacy accessible in Hindi. With over 1.43 million subscribers, this channel covers everything from stock market strategies to mutual fund investing and tax-saving tips. Through Market Maestroo, Ankit continues to democratize financial knowledge, helping everyday Indians become confident investors and smarter financial planners. This educational mission aligns closely with the goals of the foundation — building a financially and socially empowered India.
