Shashwat Kakkar

I'm an independent investment analyst focused on value investing across alternative investments and private markets: listed REITs and InvITs, real assets, and capital-intensive businesses where the gap between price and intrinsic value is most legible.

Obsidian Capital Research is where I put that philosophy to work. The approach is human-led and AI-powered: original, first-principles analysis and fully integrated financial models, with AI used to broaden coverage and pressure-test every thesis, never to replace judgment. Each report is built to an institutional standard.

I have cleared all three levels of the CFA Program and work in corporate finance, managing capital structure and banking relationships for a manufacturing business in India. I'm now focused on building independent research across private equity, venture capital, asset management, real assets, and listed real estate.
