Equity Research Analyst
Hardik Bhandare
I have worked as an equity research analyst. Stocks are also my hobby, and Cityfort is what I built around it: plain-English explanations of how US-listed companies make money, taken from their SEC filings.

Why I started Cityfort
I kept seeing friends and people close to me invest in stocks without knowing what the company actually does. Researching a company properly takes a long time, which is a big part of why that happens. So I started Cityfort: each company explained in plain English, from its own filings, in about five minutes. It never says what to buy or sell.
