Finozen (acquired by groww)

Co-Founder and CEO

  • FinoZen was a mobile app where you can watch your money grow, literally!
  • If your money is in Savings account, you get low returns at best quarterly. Fixed Deposits and other saving instruments will have higher returns but have a lock in period. With FinoZen, your returns are usually 7%+, returns get credited in your account everyday, and you can add or withdraw any time. We enabled this by investing our customers money in liquid mutual funds.
  • FinoZen app link on playstore: https://goo.gl/xczUTM
  • We launched FinoZen specifically for Indian savers (and not for people who invest actively already) and because of the simplicity of the product, clear value add to end users and our superior customer service we were able to achieve following -
  • 1) 1.6 Lakh app downloads and 30K active user base
  • 2) In 2017-18, FinoZen users did 82,000 transactions worth over Rs. 282 Crores
  • To cater to investment diversification needs of our FinoZen customers, we launched FinoTrust app in June 2017 -
  • FinoTrust was an analytics driven mutual fund investment product that enabled users to search the best investment plan as per their risk return ratio and invest their money in a better way.
  • FinoTrust take quick inputs from consumer and enable them to invest efficiently as per their long/short term goals.
  • FinoTrust mobile and web app had two key offerings for consumers -
  • a) Next Gen Tax Saving Process
  • b) Investment plan as per consumer needs
  • At the time of acquisition by Groww, via FinoZen & FinoTrust we were serving 25,000+ Investors and were managing close to Rs. 95 Crore AUM
