Indian wealthtech startups are receiving substantial investments as the country's stock markets expand and wealth generation increases. Market intelligence platform Tracxn reports that investors have poured around $228 million into Indian wealthtech startups in the past two years, with $70 million invested so far in 2024. The sector is attractive due to the growing number of high net-worth individuals (HNIs) in India. Wealthtech firms utilize data analytics and technology to offer personalized investment strategies at a lower cost compared to traditional wealth management services. Two types of wealthtech startups are emerging: those focused on premium wealth management and those building fixed income products and platforms for alternative asset classes.
