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.
