About Us
Wealth India Financial Services was started with the goal of empowering every Indian investor to have a secure financial future. The financial services industry in India is marked by two extremes - on the one end we have very wealthy individuals who receive sound financial planning advice for which they can afford to pay a steep price. On the other end, we have individuals who cannot afford the cost of such professional advice and hence either ignore the need for financial planning, or, rely on ad-hoc advice from acquaintances.

Wealth India steps into this landscape with a commitment to ensure good, prudent, confident financial planning and guidance is available to all. This vision is what led to our building the integrated platform that would enable the investors to learn about financial planning, plan their financial future, invest according to the plan, and continually track the investments to ensure alignment with the plan. Wealth India Financial Services will be with the investor every step of the way through the process, because that is the only way we believe we will 'enrich India one investor at a time'.

Wealth India Financial Services was started by two entrepreneurs with a proven track record of innovation in the financial services industry. Between the two of them, they have more than two decades of experience in the industry and have successfully taken new, innovative ideas and products to the market.
