Current Scenario

• Bloomberg reports state that Less than 1.5% of the Indian population invested in equity markets

• Just 2% of India’s household savings were exposed to equity

Introducing WealthApp

Realizing the importance of investments in the process of financial planning for all sections of society alike, the vision for an automated online financial advisory firm came into being. The founders Gaurav Dhawan, Subba Rao Telidevara, Sanjay HB and Mitesh Shah have a cumulative of 40 years’ experience between them on managing Individual financial portfolios. This made them aware that the long winding process, paper work and lack of proper guidance in investment methods put off people as prospective investors.

USP of WealthApp

• Prospective Clients made investment ready via KYC in a thoroughly paperless manner

• Sophisticated algorithms automate the entire advisory process thus ensuring top notch and timely advise for the investor

• Knowledge and experience of founding team work to provide customized portfolio most suited for investors and their goals based on thorough research and strategy

• Ongoing monitoring 24/7/365

• Convenience of doorstep service offered via web and mobile apps

At the time when most of the Mutual Funds and Investment companies were focused on high net worth clients, WealthApp came up with the concept of Online Robo Financial Advisor for all kinds of investors ranging from youngsters or first time investors to a family man and seasoned investor.

Our Vision

• WealthApp has developed sophisticated iOS and android mobile apps to help the middle-income groups and retail investors in India simplify their financial planning and wealth management process.

• It plans to introduce a platform that could advise investors in case of interim liquidity requirement or additional investment needs based on their portfolio.

• Plans to develop methods to engage customers at a deeper level so they make the most out of the platform’s abilities.

• Future plans includes linking the bank account of the customer to their portfolio so that a warning could be delivered to them on how to best invest the money idling in the account for a specified period so as to get maximum returns.
