Gautam Satpathy, a graduate of the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, is a software product development professional with over 29 years of experience and is a Stock Trader. He started his software career with TCS in the mid-1990s and has worked with Oracle, Rolta, L&T Technology Services, Finastra and a couple of start-ups. His professional focus has been on Product Development. His last stint was with Finastra as the Director of Architecture for Global Banking products.

Gautam started his stock trading career the usual way – studying Mark Minervini, John Murphy and other great traders, and losing money. Sorry Mark, that isn’t on you. Neither you, John.

Frustrated with the software tools available in the Indian Market for the retail trader, he finally decided to take the plunge and roll his own. His only excuse is that he sometimes dreams in Java. And at times, nightmares in SQL.

Charanna Vyapari is the result.
