About Prosperly

Prosperly is a new-age digital wealth platform that will help any middle class Indian confidently build wealth through high-quality financial advice, education & tools. Our core beliefs are two fold - most Indians do not take enough risk with their portfolio due to poor financial literacy, and, asset allocation & goal-based thinking are the necessary foundations for any good long-term investment plan. We are a founding team of six, working on product, content and partnerships for a product launch in early 2022. The founder Rajeev Chebolu is an alumnus of IIT Madras & Kellogg School of Management with around 12 years of experience in private equity and CFO roles at start-ups.

Market Opportunity & Mission

Indians are hugely ‘under-invested’ – only 8% of total household wealth is held in listed stocks & mutual funds, while 51% are held in cash, bank deposits, insurance policies etc. The long rally in the Indian stock markets from mid-2020 has created huge interest in investing, but it is still hard for most people to get guidance & customised recommendations in building wealth. HNIs can rely on wealth managers; but most middle-class Indians do not have access to good financial advice & recommendations.

Our product will help any Indian, irrespective of the assets they own, build an investment portfolio customised to their goals & risk profile through our technology enabled product. In addition to this, we will have structured content to help them learn about personal finance & investing at their own pace. Our trained human advisors will help explain complex topics & build trust for the user.

We aim to serve 5 million middle class Indians as paying customers by 2030, out of the 160 million addressable user base earning between Rs.5 lakhs & 50 lakhs.
