Risk, Responsible Trading & YMYL Editor

📍 Pune, India 🗓 Joined 2021 💼 14+ years experience [email protected]

Biography

Rohan is the final reviewer on every YMYL page before it publishes. His role is the inverse of the marketing team's: where a marketer wants to maximise registrations, Rohan's job is to ensure the page would still be useful to a reader who decides not to register. He pushes back on overly confident wording, owns the risk-disclosure block, and signs off on the addiction-help resources visible on every page. Rohan's edits are the reason the portal does not promise win rates, does not call any platform 'safe', and does not bury risk in a footer.

Editorial methodology

Reviews every page against a 12-point YMYL checklist: visible risk before CTA, capital-loss language, no 'safe' or 'easy' framing, addiction-help links, regulator-warning citations, qualified-professional referrals, factual sourcing on every numerical claim, dated review, affiliate disclosure, language matching, accessibility, and a non-trading alternative.
