MARG the Asset Management Group has celebrated its 1st Anniversary today, since it was officially launched in the year 2010 with an aim to create a single research, educative and informative platform for learning every bits and bytes of stock market and related trading. The day long celebrations were organised involving MARG’s clients, associates and staff members. Company’s Director, Manish Goyal inaugurated the celebration by cutting a cake which was followed by his address to the guests present at MARG’s head office located at Madhuban. The first of its kind stock market research company has also launched its Broking services today at Akruti Complex. According to Manish Goyal, “The broking services provided by MARG will be totally different from other companies which he has termed as advanced brokerage.” According to Neelkamal Agarwal, Marketing Head of MARG, the company has already opened its branch offices in city’s commercially potential locations. MARG is active in four basic areas of service including Portfolio Management, Research Background, Mutual Fund and Broking. The other innovative approach of Marg is a learning programme known as MARG- Champion of Champions. The company which started with 6 employees has now grown up to 16 full time employees and is now ready to open offices in Jaipur, Noida and Pune with at least three or more branch offices in Udaipur to be opened shortly. “The success of MARG is based on the strong team effort and trust of the clients that the company has successfully achieved in the last one year”, says Manish, Chartered Accountant and the brain behind MARG. Manish Goyal (31) is a serial entrepreneur, avid reader and industry researcher; he owns half a dozen of businesses other than MARG including partnership in Chittorgarh based Niyati Mundra & Company. He also manages Atharva Education Society, a real estate business and a non-banking finance company registered with RBI. Before Marg, Manish has played his hands in various businesses and start-ups which sensibly sharpens his skills of understanding risk and safety of market and get a deep experience in recognising the investing pattern and how any investor should react practically and psychologically when the market fluctuates. Born in a middle-class family in a nearby town of Nimbaheda, Manish turned his interest from science to commerce just after his school. At the age of 21 he not only became the first chartered accountant of Nimbeheda but also one of the youngest CA in Udaipur. Manish’s father M.L Goyal is Vice-president (commercial) at J.K Cement, Nimbaheda. “My father has supported me in my every big-small step, encouraged me and taught me to take risks in life”, said Manish. While revealing the idea of MARG, he said, “after experiencing many businesses I dig the stock market trading to every extent and elaborated the possibilities, facts and myths around it. I used to and still ask this question that why an industry whose per day turnover is several crores of rupees has no systematic dais where a newcomer can learn and a experienced can share his experience, why an MBA graduate is afraid of stock market. Like this, several questions buzzed around my mind and finally after many tests and experiments something like MARG was eventually born last year.” He further added “MARG is never a company for me, it’s indeed a concept, a platform and I must say only platform which can help, teach and creates a perpendicular marg (path) to success.”
