Why he built this

Finance by training, builder by instinct.

Although his degree is in finance, Ayush noticed a problem early in his career. Newspapers and business channels cover everything, so the handful of stories that matter to an Industrials banker get buried in noise. Reading more wasn't the answer; filtering better was.

So he combined his coding skills with AI tools and automation. Every morning a pipeline scans public news, keeps only what is relevant to EV, Automobiles, General Industrials and Aerospace & Defence, and explains why each story matters. It runs on GitHub and Cloudflare, so the site updates itself daily without servers to manage.

The Analyst Collective started as a learning project: a way to sharpen his sector knowledge while building real tools with modern AI.
