About Downstox

Downstox is an independent, bootstrapped Indian-markets publication founded by Dev Vaghani. We cover Indian equities, derivatives, and personal finance with a focus on actionable data and clear analysis — without paywalls, without commercial conflicts of interest, and without recycled press releases.

Downstox is a media publication, not a SEBI-registered investment advisor. Our reporting and analysis are for informational and educational purposes only and do not constitute investment advice.

Sourcing & accuracy

All factual claims are sourced — primary sources (NSE, BSE, RBI, SEBI, company filings) are preferred over secondary reporting.
When secondary sources are used, they are linked or named in the article.
Market data (prices, indices, returns) is sourced from NSE/BSE feeds with disclosed delay characteristics.
Quotes from analysts, executives, or officials are attributed with name and affiliation.
AI-assisted writing tools are used in some research and editing workflows; all published content is reviewed by an editorial desk before publication.

Bylines & accountability

Every article carries a visible byline — either a named editor (Dev Vaghani as Editor-in-Chief) or a named editorial desk (Markets Desk, Macro Desk, or Sectors Desk). Each desk has a published coverage mandate on the Authors page.

Conflict of interest

Downstox does not accept money, securities, or other consideration from companies in exchange for coverage.
Downstox does not run paid sponsored articles dressed up as news. Sponsored content (when accepted) is clearly labelled.
The founder owns equity in Downstox itself but does not actively trade individual stocks during the publishing window of articles that cover those stocks.
Where any commercial relationship exists with a company under coverage, it is disclosed in the article.

Corrections policy

We correct material errors openly. If a published article contains a factual error:

The correction is made inline in the article.
A "Correction" or "Update" note at the top of the article describes what was changed and when.
The article's dateModified timestamp is updated, visible on the page and in our schema.org markup.
Substantive corrections that affect the conclusion of the article are also flagged with an editor's note.

To request a correction, email dev.vaghani@downstox.com with the article URL and the specific factual issue.

Independence

Downstox is wholly owned by its founder. We have no parent company, no PE/VC investors, and no brokerage / asset-management affiliates whose interests editorial coverage might be expected to serve. Hosting and infrastructure costs are paid from founder capital.
