About Velaris Academy
Built by a trader, for traders. Here is the story behind India's dedicated stock market education academy.
Empowering every trader with knowledge, not luck.
Velaris Academy was founded in 2018 with one goal: to give Indian retail traders access to professional-grade education without the jargon, the noise, or the false promises.
Too many retail investors lose money not because markets are rigged, but because they entered without a structured understanding of how to read charts, manage risk, and control emotions. We exist to change that.
Our motto — Learn. Trade. Grow. — shapes every course we design, every session we deliver, and every student we guide.
Nirmal — Trader, Educator & Author.
Nirmal is a full-time trader and educator with over 10 years of experience in Indian equity, derivatives, and commodity markets. He began his journey in the early 2010s, learning through real losses and market cycles before developing a systematic, rules-based approach to trading.
Driven by a desire to help others avoid the costly mistakes he made early on, Nirmal founded Velaris Academy in 2018. Since then, he has mentored over 1,000 traders across India — from working professionals trading on the side to full-time market participants.
He is also the author of The Complete Stock Market Guide — a 9-module book written specifically for Indian retail investors, covering everything from chart basics to advanced F&O strategies.
Principles behind every lesson.
Practical Over Theoretical
Every concept is taught using real NSE/BSE charts and live trade examples. If it doesn't apply to your trading account, we don't teach it.
Risk First, Always
We teach capital preservation before profit strategies. A trader who protects their capital survives long enough to learn.
Honest & Transparent
We never promise guaranteed profits or miracle returns. Trading is a skill built over time — and we'll tell you exactly what it takes.
Structured Learning
Our curriculum follows a deliberate progression — foundation before strategy, strategy before execution. No skipping steps that matter.
Student Success
Our reputation is built on our students' results. Every feature — live sessions, mentorship, community — exists to maximise your outcomes.
India-Focused
100% of our content is built around NSE and BSE. Indian stocks, Indian regulations, Indian market timings — relevant to your reality.
