In 1994, Yogesh Kulkarni started Royal Investments with one client and a simple principle: maintain integrity, transparency, and discipline in every professional interaction. Three decades and many families later, that principle continues to guide the organisation.

An AMFI-registered Mutual Fund Distributor and APMI-certified PMS Distributor, Yogesh brings over 32 years of experience across a wide range of market cycles in India — including periods of growth, volatility, and structural change. This experience continues to shape his professional approach: patience over prediction, and discipline over noise.

Founder, Investor Grievance Forum, Pune — Yogesh’s work extends beyond his professional practice. He established this initiative to support investor awareness, address investor concerns, and promote financial literacy across the community. Under his leadership, the forum has conducted over 100 Investor Awareness Programs, reaching thousands of investors with educational information.

The forum’s investor awareness initiatives have featured respected names from Indian finance and public life, including former Union Finance Ministers Yashwant Sinha and Arun Jaitley, former SEBI Chairman C.B. Bhave, and multiple senior SEBI and BSE officials.

Ask Yogesh what he’s proudest of, and it isn’t assets under management. It’s the families who started as strangers and have remained associated with Royal Investments for 20, 25, and even 30 years.
