Shashank Udupa

Shashank started his career as an Investment Banker at 360one. He then went on to found Avalon Labs, Avalon Scenes which later got sold to Unacademy. He then worked with Securens Systems in Mumbai which got sold to a public listed company. He has been investing since the last 10 years and educating people on social media about the fundamentals of the market.

Shashank is on a mission to systematically outperform the market—not through guesswork or noise, but by building robust, data-driven frameworks that stand the test of time.

At the core of my investing philosophy lies a fusion of:

- Momentum investing, to ride institutional flows and relative strength,

- Turnaround stories, to identify asymmetric opportunities before consensus catches up,

- And quant-driven asset allocation, to remove emotion and bias from decision-making.

We follow the F.L.U.I.D Investment style where we try not to bound ourself to a single framework and mould our strategies as the market changes

Our approach goes far beyond traditional stock-picking. We design rule-based portfolios, powered by quantitative signals and supported by dynamic position sizing, portfolio risk control, and disciplined stop-exit systems. This allows us to navigate volatility, preserve capital, and capture sustainable alpha.

What we’re building:

- Multi-factor strategies with real-world validation

- Tools for portfolio-level risk & position management

- Smart systems for sector rotation, capital flow detection, and trend persistence

The goal? A scalable edge. One that compounds over cycles and adapts to regime shifts. If you believe in blending data, intuition, and discipline to create wealth, then thats what we do!

Frequently asked questions

What are the products offered?
We currently offer two smallcases under the FLUID framework. The first is FLUID Q, a quant-driven momentum strategy designed for investors seeking high-risk, high-reward opportunities. It systematically identifies and captures short- to medium-term trends using a rules-based approach, making it ideal for those comfortable with volatility in pursuit of superior returns. The second is FLUID C, a compounding-oriented portfolio focused on high-quality companies with strong fundamentals and consistent growth. This basket is built for long-term investors who prefer steady wealth creation through the power of compounding., Beyond these, we are actively working on other innovative small cases that will cater to diverse investor needs across risk profiles and time horizons. Each product is backed by rigorous research and disciplined portfolio construction, ensuring transparency, diversification, and a clear investment thesis.
What is their investment philosophy?
Our investment philosophy is centered on the belief that long-term wealth creation comes from owning fundamentally strong businesses that can deliver consistent growth through cycles. We focus on identifying companies with robust financials, sustainable competitive advantages, prudent management practices, and the ability to adapt to changing environments., We employ a blend of value and growth investing, looking for opportunities where intrinsic business strength aligns with attractive valuations. At the same time, we emphasize capital preservation, recognizing that managing downside risk is as important as generating returns., Our approach is research-driven and process-oriented. We use a disciplined framework that combines fundamental analysis with regular portfolio reviews, ensuring that every decision is backed by data and a clear thesis. Diversification across sectors and market caps further helps in managing volatility and enhancing long-term risk-adjusted returns., At the core, we believe investing is not about chasing short-term gains, but about participating in the journey of businesses that can compound earnings and shareholder value over time. This philosophy underpins every portfolio we construct, allowing investors to grow steadily and confidently.
What is a smallcase ?
A smallcase is a curated basket of stocks/ETFs* that reflects a certain objective (ideas, themes, strategies), backed by the research of the smallcase manager. You can invest in a smallcase in 2 clicks., *ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) are baskets of securities that track an underlying index (Nifty, Gold, etc) and can be bought and sold on the exchange.
Who can subscribe to these smallcases?
The smallcase manager decides who can invest in the smallcases created by them and can create two types of smallcases :, Exclusive smallcases : smallcases which require a subscription to the smallcase manager's Advisory in order to invest in the smallcase. You can subscribe to a smallcase directly from the smallcase profile through the subscription form., Public smallcases : smallcases in which anyone who has an account with our partner brokers can invest. You can invest in this smallcase by clicking on “Buy smallcase” in the smallcase profile and logging with your broker credentials.,
How do I track my smallcases?
When you buy a smallcase, the index value is set to 100 on the buy day - this helps you track the total returns without having to monitor each stock. You can also use the performance metrics to get a more detailed understanding of your smallcase.
Are there lock-in periods?
There are no lock-in periods, so you may sell your smallcases anytime. As a concept however, smallcases work best when used for long-term investing.
