What Kalpen Parekh Says About FinEdge

A separate perspective from Kalpen Parekh on their experience with FinEdge.

Indian investors have savings & aspirations. FinEdge, our partner for more than a decade, has built a very customer centric tech platform that enables them to reach lacs of Indian investors, with no barriers of geography. Being digital is easy, building trust in digital is not.

FinEdge has achieved this by bringing human touch in their interactions with investors around things that matter to consumers — their objectives & life purpose, their dreams, their anxieties and how money and right investing can help them achieve their goals.

They have used technology to make investing accessible & simple for their investors at the same time personalising portfolios in scale via human touch and well defined processes. We have shared values with FinEdge, Invest For Good. Wish them success in the journey of making many more happy investors.
