Raise Financial Services to acquire Valuationary

Raise Financial Services has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Surat-based e-learning startup Valuationary in a deal that is a combination of cash and stock.

Post-acquisition, Valuationary's 15-member team will operate from Raise Financial Services’ headquarters in Mumbai. Founded in 2020 by Pratik Bajaj, Kunal Shah, and Mahip Gupta, Valuationary is an e-learning platform that helps young professionals in the financial sector to upskill themselves.

“With its gamified quizzes and bit-sized knowledge clips, Valuationary has been able to maintain a course completion rate of over 75 percent," said Kunal Shah, Co-founder of Valuationary.

The startup enables users to upskill through its courses, live sessions, and extensive social-media presence where it responsibly simplifies financial news and information.

With this acquisition, Raise aims to strengthen its investment and wealth stack by enabling investors and traders to learn about markets via Valuationary’s courses.

"Wealth-tech is a much larger space and we believe that users can be better served through an ecosystem-based approach," said Pravin Jadhav, Founder of Raise Financial Services. While Dhan continues to scale as Raise's investment platform, Valuationary will also be built as a Raise platform, he added.
