India’s financial landscape witnessed a milestone moment with the rise of 21-year-old Rochit Singh, who has become one of the youngest individuals to secure the prestigious SEBI Registered Investment Advisor (RA) license. His registration number-INH000023834-is quickly becoming a symbol of authority among young market participants who seek credible, research-backed financial guidance.
While India is crowded with influencers claiming expertise in stocks, very few hold the regulatory clearance that SEBI requires for offering paid advisory services. That is what makes Rochit’s achievement stand out: he has not only mastered investing at a young age but has also earned the trust of the country’s top financial regulator.
But his journey began far from the world of finance. As a teenager in Biswan – Uttar Pradesh, Rochit was known more for his experiments with online content than for stock picking. In ninth grade, inspired by the digital revolution after Jio’s launch, he decided to try his hand at online entrepreneurship. He explored blogging, domain selling, mobile app development, gaming content, and several freelancing tasks. For years, none of these attempts took him anywhere-but each experiment helped him build technical skills and resilience.
His first taste of success came unexpectedly. He uploaded a tutorial video solving questions from an S. Chand textbook. For a month, the video sat at zero views. But six months later, it suddenly shot up to 500 views-a moment that filled the young creator with joy. That one video was enough to give him confidence, and he committed himself to content creation.
However, the path wasn’t easy. He was mocked in coaching classes for trying to teach others despite being a student himself. But by Class 11, he had grown his channel to 5.5 lakh subscribers-proof that persistence beats criticism.
The turning point in his life came in 2020, when he entered the stock market inspired by a story of Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’sinvestment in Titan. Initially, he tried intraday and swing trading, hoping to replicate the quick profits celebrated on social media. Instead, he faced heavy losses and mental exhaustion. In 2022, when the markets consolidated, he had a critical realization: if he had simply invested long-term in quality companies-or even the Nifty index-he would have made better returns with far less stress.
From that point, he swore off all forms of trading. No intraday, no swing, no derivative speculation. He devoted himself entirely to long-term, multibagger-style investing. He studied how Indian legends like Damani, Kedia, and Jhunjhunwala built generational wealth by holding great businesses for years.
This methodical shift in philosophy resonated deeply with India’s youth, who began following him in huge numbers. Today, his platform has 2.2 million followers, making him one of the most influential finance educators in the country.
His message is straightforward: “Wealth is created through patience, not speed.”
By securing SEBI RA status at such a young age, Rochit has set a national benchmark. He represents a new generation of advisors-digitally native, deeply researched, ethical, and relatable to young India.
His meteoric rise also signals a shift in the financial ecosystem: youth no longer want shortcuts. They want credible, regulated advisors who can help them build wealth responsibly. And in that role, 21-year-old Rochit Singh is already rewriting the rules.
