Hey! We are building this exciting product in the space of micro wealth management for GenZ and Millennials. 400+ Million people are waiting to be financially literate, learn to save, and make smart investments one step at a time. That's what India is right now, and we are doing everything to ensure that it happens. A financially literate young population is potent enough to change the world.
We are here to help Indians to rediscover savings in times of instant gratification, inflation, and the never-ending need for assimilation into the western philosophy of consumerism.
You ask how we are going to do it. We are building a micro wealth management platform with small steps at a time, starting with micro-savings, financial literacy, and then to the glory of micro-investments.
