Bharosa

Know who to trust with your money — rated on evidence, not hype

Millions of Indians take investing cues from social-media financial influencers. Almost none of that advice carries a track record you can check. Bharosa is building a public, independent trust profile for Indian finance creators — a nutrition label you can read in under ten seconds before you act on a tip.

What a trust profile contains

• Regulatory facts. SEBI registration status and any public regulatory action, each linked to its source.
• Disclosure hygiene. Whether paid promotions and positions are disclosed, as required.
• Behavioural signals. Hype density, vagueness, and cherry-picking — described in plain English, each with a quoted example.
• A tracked call record. Specific public calls, their outcomes against a benchmark, and the verbatim quote and timestamp each one came from.

How we work

Everything we publish is derived from publicly posted content — videos, posts and their transcripts — and from public market data. We archive the source so a claim can be checked even if the original is later edited or deleted. Every signal carries a source link and a last-updated date. We publish bands and flag counts, never a single opaque "trust score".

Independence

Creators cannot pay Bharosa to change, improve, or remove an assessment. We do not accept payment from the people we assess, and we do not sell leads to brokers or advisers.

Right of reply and corrections

Anyone assessed by Bharosa may respond, and anyone may report an error. We operate a published notice-and-takedown and grievance process, with a named grievance officer, and we correct errors on the record rather than silently. Grievance officer and complaint process →
