Castine Conversations
We come across hundreds of interesting people and firms in the different projects that we undertake in the commission management, compensation, and compliance (C3) space. We thought others would be as fascinated as we are with them.
This podcast introduces us to business leaders, entrepreneurs, and businesses around the globe who have special interest in commission management (aka CSAs and soft dollars), broker/producer compensation, research services, and compliance. Each person is unique in their background and offers their advice on getting started and how their business operates and grows. We hope you enjoy it!

Indy Sarker - Analec's Founder on Where Commission Management Stands Today
In this conversation we meet Indy Sarker, Founder of Analec.
Indy is a recognized global leader in commission management and brings to it his years of experience in research analysis, publication workflow and CRM systems. Indy has been involved with commission management for over a decade and has been an active sponsor and speaker in numerous commission management events and conferences.
Indy started out on the research analyst side of the industry after reading Economics at Cambridge and founded Analec in 2003 to bring deep domain knowledge to the creation of innovative tools for publication management and customer management. More recently, Indy and his team have expanded the Analec platform from focusing on research sales and trading vertical to addressing customer engagement across several other industries, including investment banking, M&A deal flow, asset management, and others.
My conversation with Indy covers how Analec came to be and where the commission management space is evolving given new regulatory possibilities in the UK as well as changes in the EU and the end of the "No Action" letter in the USA.
