Savitri Bobde — Co-Founder
At Belong, I lead operations for a regulated, tax-efficient investing platform serving NRIs and global Indians, with a focus on execution, customer experience, and long-term scalability. I’m a fintech co-founder. I previously co-founded Goalwise, a goal-based Mutual Fund investing platform for retail investors that was acquired by Niyo. Post-acquisition, I spent several years at Niyo building and scaling customer experience and operations, leading teams of 200+ people, and owning company-wide NPS and service quality. Before fintech, I spent over 6 years in the development and education sector, working with organisations including Pratham, ASER Centre, and the M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation. During this time, I worked on large-scale research initiatives such as the Annual Status of Education Report (ASER), which shaped how I think about systems, execution, and impact at scale. I write about running and building startups in high-trust, execution-heavy environments, with a focus on how teams scale, decisions get made, and accountability holds as companies grow..
