About the author

RiskManagementGyan is written and maintained by Bulan Sarkar, who built this resource to fill a specific gap: rigorous, India-aware teaching on how to protect trading capital — from position sizing and risk metrics to portfolio, options and algorithmic risk and the psychology of discipline — rather than another site selling entries.

Editorial approach

Every explainer is drafted from first principles, checked against established risk-management, quantitative-finance and statistics references, and grounded in realistic Indian-market examples. Where something is a rule of thumb, a model assumption or an exchange convention, it is labelled as such. Corrections are welcome — see Contact.
