What is PositionalCalls?
PositionalCalls is an independent research and education website about Indian markets. It explains company results, IPOs, sector trends, interest-rate and inflation news and the tax rules around investing, in plain English, with the sources shown.
Many Indian investors face two extremes: dense institutional reports and loud social-media tips. We aim for the middle, which is clear explanation with the evidence visible. We try to answer the question a reader actually has, such as when a company reports, what the number to beat is and where two sources disagree.
Who writes PositionalCalls?
PositionalCalls is written and edited by Shubham Chaudhary, an independent writer on Indian stocks, IPOs and sectors. He is not a SEBI-registered investment adviser or research analyst, and the site does not give personal advice.
You can read more on the author page. Our working method is set out on the research methodology page, and the limits of what we offer are on the disclaimer and risk disclosure page.
Why this matters. A finance site should be clear about who writes it, what it is not and how it is paid. We state all three on every page, so you can weigh our work accordingly.
What do we publish, and how often is it updated?
We publish five kinds of pages: earnings previews and results, IPO guides, sector outlooks, finance news and evergreen money guides. Each page states when it was updated, and time-sensitive pages are refreshed when new data arrives.
| Type of page | What it contains | How it is kept current |
|---|---|---|
| Earnings preview | Date, year-ago base, nearest quarter, what to read on results day | Converted to a results page after the filing |
| Earnings results | Reported figures, ties checked, source conflicts shown | Updated if the company or the exchange corrects a figure |
| IPO guide | Dates, price band, lot size, listing facts | Refreshed at allotment and listing |
| Sector outlook | Sector drivers, risks and what the latest results show | Reviewed after each results season |
| News post | Event, official numbers, forecasts clearly labelled | Updated with the actual data after the release |
| Money guide | Rules, examples and calculations | Reviewed when the rule changes |

How do we research and label our numbers?
We start from primary sources: NSE and BSE filings, company releases, the RBI and the statistics ministry. Where we use a news report we say so. Each number is marked as reported, my calculation, forecast or not confirmed.
- Find the primary source, such as the exchange filing, the company press release or the official data release.
- Check the number against a second source where one exists and show any conflict instead of choosing silently.
- Recalculate totals and growth rates, and mark them as my calculation when we derive them.
- State the date of each source and what we could not open or confirm.
- Update the page and its Updated date when new data arrives.
How to read the labels on our pages
| Label | What it means |
|---|---|
| Reported | The figure comes from the named source, which you can open. |
| My calculation | We derived it from reported figures, for example a growth rate or margin. |
| Forecast | A poll or broker estimate shown as reported, not our estimate. |
| Not confirmed | We looked for it and did not find it in the sources we read. |
| Provisional | Official data that can be revised later. |

How can you check our work?
Open the source we link, compare it with a second one and repeat our arithmetic. Every page shows its Updated date, labels derived numbers as my calculation and shows both figures when sources disagree.
- Open the NSE, BSE or company source linked next to the figure.
- Look for the label: reported, my calculation, forecast or not confirmed.
- Repeat the sum yourself; we show the inputs.
- Check the Updated date, and the as-of time on tables.
- If you find a mistake, send us the page link and the source.
| Illustration: how we show growth | Example inputs | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Year-on-year growth | Profit Rs 120 crore this quarter against Rs 100 crore a year earlier | (120 – 100) / 100 = 20.0%, my calculation |
| Margin | Profit Rs 20 crore on revenue Rs 200 crore | 20 / 200 = 10.0%, my calculation |

No. PositionalCalls is not a SEBI-registered research analyst or investment adviser. The site is for education and information only. Investments in securities markets are subject to market risk, returns are never guaranteed, and you should consult a SEBI-registered professional before investing.
Does PositionalCalls give buy or sell tips?

We start from exchange filings, company releases and official data from bodies such as the RBI and MoSPI. Where we rely on a news report we name it and its date. Each figure is marked as reported, my calculation, forecast or not confirmed.
What does My calculation mean on a page?
It means we derived the figure from reported numbers, for example a growth rate, margin or total, and it is not stated by the company or the source. We show the inputs so you can repeat the arithmetic and check it against the filing.
What happens if a figure on the site is wrong?
We correct the page and change its Updated date. Where sources conflict, we show both figures with their sources instead of picking one silently. Always check the exchange filing or official release before you rely on any number for a decision.
How does PositionalCalls make money?
PositionalCalls is funded by advertising, mainly Google AdSense. Ads are labelled, are chosen by the ad network and are not endorsements. Advertisers do not review or influence the research, and the site does not accept payment to publish or change coverage of any company or security.
