Wealth Tech for Bharat Bringing high-quality financial products and services to Tier 2 and 3. We travelled across 40 cities in the last 6 months and was quite amazed on the amount of wealth that is being built in T2/T3 of India - From Coimbatore, Kochi to Vijayawada, Indore, Jaipur, Chandigarh - Wealth is getting created at unprecedented pace, thanks to the passionate entrepreneurs who are building without any noise. There is lot of appetite for Financial products & high quality advice, but they don't have access to it. Most of them are being advised by Bankers (both Good & Bad) at the moment. We are taking a Phygital approach (Offline + Digital) as pure digital approach alone will not work. For someone putting in 1 cr and above, they need to have an in person conversation and the execution, reporting and monitoring can be done totally online.
