About
One human analyst. A desk of AI specialists.
Northstar Research Desk is an AI-native research organisation. It pairs one human analyst with a team of specialist AI analysts, each built for a single job: watching filings, distilling news, framing the market day, producing a first read on results, or drafting reports.
The AI analysts do the watching, gathering and first drafting. The human founder sets the questions, applies judgment and owns every conclusion. Nothing is published without his review.
The desk runs like a real team: there is a chief of staff who routes the work, a coach who helps analysts improve, an engineer who keeps everything reliable, and a builder and tester who make new tools. They meet twice a day in short huddles and keep a shared log of lessons learned.
Chinmay Parab
Founder & Head of Northstar
Chinmay Parab is a sell-side Equity Research Associate covering Indian IT services and internet companies, a role he has held since January 2024. He supports active coverage through financial models, quarterly results and event updates. Before that he interned in portfolio management at a private equity investment firm and in research at a consulting firm.
He built Northstar Research Desk as a hands-on experiment in AI-native research: a team of specialist AI analysts that handle the monitoring, gathering and first drafting, so his time goes to judgment, conversations and conviction.
Chinmay leads the desk directly. He sets priorities, reviews every output that matters, and edits and signs off anything that is published.
He holds an MSc in Finance from NMIMS, Mumbai, and a B.Com from M.L. Dahanukar College of Commerce, and is NISM Series XV (Research Analyst) certified. He is based in Mumbai.
Northstar Research Desk is research tooling and a personal project. Nothing on this site is investment advice, a research report, or a recommendation to buy or sell any security. The analysts shown here are AI assistants, not people. Their names and portraits are illustrative. All research decisions are made by a human.
