**What’s the problem?**

‘Pre-HNIs’ and HNIs in countries like India want to diversify their wealth internationally. A few cross-border brokerage apps exist, but most customers hesitate due to:

*   Lack of guidance on foreign investments
*   Remittance regulations that change every year
*   Cross-border tax filing that their CFAs struggle with
*   Slow outflows from local banks

These barriers keep global investing out of reach, reserved for the top 0.001% who can afford wealth managers and family offices. We’re changing that.

Our vision is to bring all the opportunities of the 0.001% to the pre-HNI without any hassle.
