About Sikh Investors Club

How It Works

In its first phase, the Sikh Investors Club is structured as a curated community forum, supported by regular online events such as pitch nights, workshops, and guest talks from Sikhs working across the finance and investment industry.

When you become a member, you gain access to the SIC forum — a private platform where investment ideas are shared, reviewed, and discussed. Members can browse ideas posted by others, participate in structured discussions, and contribute their own perspectives and analysis.

Members are also able to submit their own investment ideas to the platform. Submitted ideas first undergo a quality review by our panel to ensure they meet baseline standards of clarity, relevance, and rigour. Once greenlit, the idea is passed to our editorial team, who help format it into a clear and accessible post for the wider community. This ensures that discussions remain focused, constructive, and valuable for all members.

Once published, ideas are open to the full community for review and discussion. Alongside live pitch nights — where members can present ideas and receive feedback in real time — the goal is to help every member make better-informed investment decisions by engaging with ideas that are openly debated and stress-tested by the community.

This approach combines individual initiative with collective intelligence, allowing members to learn, refine their thinking, and grow together in a professional and disciplined environment.

In this first phase, another objective is to identify talented investors within the community and onboard them to contribute to the planning of subsequent phases of development.

Who Are We

Bunga Azaadi is a collective of members from around the world, coming together to engage in forward-thinking Vichaar (contemplation, analysis and opinion). As a Sikh think tank, our role is to identify emerging threats and opportunities facing the Panth, develop informed perspectives, and propose practical solutions. We also provide guidance on how best to leverage opportunities in ways that align with Sikh values and long-term objectives.

However, our work does not stop at analysis and communication alone. Where possible, we seek to move beyond theory and into implementation. The Sikh Investors Club is one such initiative — a practical expression of Bunga Azaadi’s research and strategic thinking, designed to turn ideas into action.

Philosophy

This project is a component as part of the Bunga’s wider Grand Strategy, which seeks to revive the Khalsa in the modern day through modern means, so that it may better fulfill it’s Guru-given purpose, duty or Dharam, of engaging in Dharam Yudh and advancing the cause of Khalsa Raaj.

Dharam Yudh (lit. Righteous War), is a Sikh concept of contesting injustice and fighting for what is right. As we derive from Sikh principles, this involves individual liberty, human sovereignty and the welfare of all mankind (Sarbat Da Bhalla).

However, engaging in this war does not need to be restricted to just physical battles. Especially not in the modern-day where the battlefield has changed drastically and now soft power is just as, if not more, important than hard power. Whilst in the past, the standard method to contest tyranny may have been to build cavalries and charge against tyrants with spears, swords and arrows, in the modern day, the tools to do battle have evolved.

For instance, an investment banker who focuses on their career in order to donate more Dasvandh to sustainable Khalsa projects that may provide humanitarian relief in disaster zones, quality education to regions without access, or lobby for policy change that tackles poverty, encourages entrepreneurship and protects human rights — these all can be classed as engaging in modern Dharam Yudh.

Much of these efforts prevent tyrants from arising in the first place, or combat tyranny that takes the forms of poverty, bureaucracy and other systems of subjugation rather than just targeting specific individuals. Instead, the Khalsa tackles issues at the root, rather than merely chopping at the branches. By becoming valuable contributors to the societies in which we live, we gain influence and become relied upon. With that leverage, we are better able to encourage meaningful change that uplifts the lives of all and minimises unnecessary suffering.

The battlefield has changed, and so too must the Khalsa adapt. The game now is about institution building, entrepreneurship and providing value by solving problems and serving humanity.

Additionally, the concept of Khalsa Raaj is not limited to the establishment of modern nation-states. The concept itself predates the current nation-state world order, and Bunga Azaadi sets a working definition of it as: “environments safeguarded by the Khalsa in which those seeking spiritual liberty (Mukti) can do so in peace, free from tyranny and oppression (political liberty).” This can be viewed at a global level, but also at a local level—within one’s community, home, and, more importantly, within one’s own mind.

ਆਈ ਪੰਥੀ ਸਗਲ ਜਮਾਤੀ ਮਨਿ ਜੀਤੈ ਜਗੁ ਜੀਤੁ ॥
See the brotherhood of all mankind as the highest order of Yogis; conquer your own mind, and conquer the world.
— Sri Guru Granth Sahib, Ang 6

We also summarise Sikhi itself into one line as “the Guru-guided pursuit of spiritual and political liberty — Azaadi!”.

The Sikh Investors Club therefore bears these values in mind and aims to provide an avenue for Sikhs today to fulfil their purpose as Sikhs who actively practise Sikhi. By joining this initiative, you will be engaging in a professional and modern approach to Dharam Yudh, and advancing the long-term cause of Khalsa Raaj—legally, ethically, and effectively.
