Palak Chauhan, FIAI — Founder

I’m a qualified pensions actuary turned fintech founder - driven by one mission: to make personal finance radically simpler, more human, and deeply relevant for today’s workforce. With nearly two decades of experience advising Fortune 500 HQs on employee benefits, I’ve operated at the intersection of people and finance - across Gurgaon, Chicago, and New York - with a uniquely global lens shaped by work spanning 100+ countries. I’ve led work on M&A, global pension design, DE&I, financial wellbeing, and deep actuarial work (modelling, pricing, accounting - the whole suite!). Through it all, one truth has stood out: financial security isn’t a spreadsheet. It’s the confidence to live fully, the clarity to make good decisions, and the community to support you along the way. That’s what led me to build GoalSeek - an all-in-one money companion, a life tool, and a trust circle for working professionals and their families. We're reimagining how individuals track their finances, plan for life goals, protect what matters, and engage their loved ones - all through a tech-first, design-forward, culturally aware platform. At heart, I remain an actuary - analytical, methodical, and solution-oriented. But I’ve added layers: storyteller, builder, product thinker, advocate. I love building high-performing teams, learning from sharp minds, and helping people take bold bets on their futures - especially working women, caregivers, and underrepresented professionals navigating high-pressure lives. If you're passionate about transforming financial lives at scale, let’s connect!
