World Trade Factory™ is an independent financial intelligence publication and AI platform — built by a practitioner who spent two decades inside the institutions, and left to build something that tells the truth about markets without the filter.
Why This Exists
The financial information landscape has a problem. At one end you have the Bloomberg terminals and institutional research desks — accurate, deep, and priced for hedge funds. At the other end you have the free internet — fast, noisy, and optimised for clicks rather than clarity. In between, most investors — even sophisticated ones — are navigating with incomplete maps.
World Trade Factory was built to close that gap. Original editorial judgment. Proprietary ratings. Synthesis across asset classes. Written for people who move capital, manage portfolios, or simply want to understand what's actually happening in the world — without having to read twelve sources to form one opinion.
The name is intentional. Trade is the connective tissue of the global economy. Every macro move, every earnings beat, every geopolitical rupture eventually shows up in how the world trades. WTF tracks all of it — and tells you what it means.
The Publications
What in the World!
Monthly institutional-grade macro intelligence. Global market regimes, central bank policy, EM and DM sovereign analysis, and country investment atlases — each issue distilling an enormous amount of signal into a single authoritative read. If you want to understand the macro context before you make any other decision, this is where you start.
Jack of All Trades — WTFXAI SKORE
Earnings intelligence rated 0–10. The SKORE is WTF's proprietary signal — synthesised from financial beat/miss data, guidance revisions, management tone analysis, and AI-driven earnings call sentiment. Published on every major earnings day, covering 45+ companies per quarter. The goal is simple: give you a defensible, data-backed view on each name before the consensus forms.
Trade Secrets
Three formats for three different needs. Dailies — a pre-market intelligence brief every morning, covering futures, macro catalysts, and what to watch. Pro — uncensored, conviction-heavy commentary on the market moves and geopolitical dynamics that matter, without the institutional hedging. .Decimal — weekly deep-dive on crypto, on-chain data, and digital asset positioning for serious participants in that market.
The Platform
Beyond the publications, WTF is building an interconnected intelligence ecosystem. InfinityXZ is the agentic AI layer — a platform where autonomous research agents, AI-driven portfolio analysis, and WTF Token-gated access converge into something closer to a personal intelligence analyst than a news feed.
The WTF Token is the native utility layer across the ecosystem — governing access tiers, enabling staking, and eventually powering governance decisions about the platform's direction. It is deployed on Ethereum and represents the conviction that financial intelligence infrastructure should have a decentralised ownership layer.
The Shark of Wall Street is the raw, unfiltered voice in the ecosystem — sharp market commentary, high-conviction calls, and the kind of analysis that institutional compliance departments would never approve. It is also the basis for an original neo-noir finance narrative IP — a book and cinematic property in development.
The Person Behind It
Sage Kakkat is the founder and CEO of SKXYWTF LLC, the operating entity behind World Trade Factory. He brings a genuinely global perspective — having lived, studied, and worked across India, the United States, and multiple countries — to a domain that rewards exactly that kind of breadth.
His academic foundation spans electrical engineering from the National Institute of Technology, India, an MBA from Thunderbird School of Global Management — one of the world's foremost international business programmes — and advanced study at Harvard Business School (Product Innovation) and MIT (Data Science and Machine Learning). That combination of engineering rigour, global business strategy, and technical fluency in AI and data is not accidental — it is the exact toolkit required to build what WTF is building.
His career spans over two decades across corporate finance, investment management, fintech, and technology transformation — with work touching Wells Fargo, American Express, IBM, Cognizant, and Toyota, among others. He was an early mover into blockchain and AI — trading Bitcoin and Ethereum before institutional adoption, building with Python and OpenAI before it became a professional default.
The through-line across all of it is a conviction that financial intelligence should not be a privilege of the few. The information asymmetry between institutional and retail participants is not a feature of markets — it is a failure of the information infrastructure. WTF is the attempt to fix that.
"Spread the Word. Change the World." — it is not just a tagline. It is the operating thesis.
