GURUGRAM: Masters’ Union, India’s leading business and tech school, has announced a strategic partnership with Upstox, one of India’s largest wealth management & trading platforms, aimed at improving financial literacy and hands-on market learning among students and aspiring traders.

The partnership is designed to address the rising gap in structured trading education at a time when millions of young Indians are entering capital markets without adequate grounding. A recent SEBI study revealed that 9 out of 10 individual traders in the Equity F&O segment incurred net losses in FY2024-25, underscoring the urgent need for institutional learning frameworks that help beginners navigate markets responsibly.

Upstox will play an active role in curriculum design, bringing in its internal experts to deliver lectures, case studies, and market walkthroughs as part of a practical and regulated learning experience.

“At Masters’ Union, we have always believed that learning by doing creates far stronger outcomes especially in something as real-time and consequential as trading,” said Pratham Mittal, Founder, Masters’ Union. “With Upstox as a partner, we’re making capital markets education more rigorous, experiential, and meaningful for the next generation of retail investors and market professionals.”

Nikhil Mittal, Director, Masters’ Union, added, “There’s an entire generation of aspiring traders consuming content from influencers and hearsay rather than building real knowledge. This partnership ensures that they get a formal, structured entry point into the world of investing, with live capital, regulated mentorship, and practical accountability baked into the learning process.”

Puneet Maheshwari, Director of Upstox, said: “We were impressed with Masters’ Union’s track record of building learning environments that mirror the real world. Their model of combining academic depth with practical exposure makes them an ideal partner as we work towards deepening investor education and creating informed investors and traders.”

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.
