It’s been slightly more than a year since we launched Finqa. It’s been an interesting experience so far with great insights and feedback from our clients.
Our moment of truth occurred when, “A client discovered us through Google search, liked our offering, signed up and invested close to Rs 1 crore with us” 🙂
However, we also realized over the course of a year that not everybody ‘needs financial planning’ or private advisory or is inclined to pay Rs 10,000 as advisory fees.
Based on our interactions over the last year we realized, Â What most people need is some basic guidance / hand holding and knowledge to get started on a small scale instead of a detailed financial plan.Â
To make it easier for for them, we have launched a new service called StartASIP.com
As the name suggests, it helps you Start a Systematic Investment Plan to fund your various goals like buying a house, Tax Saving, children’s future, Retirement or just grow your money better.
Infact, after the devastating loss against Australia yesterday, a cricket crazy client of ours set a goal that he will watch the 2019 Cricket World Cup in England – A SIP is the perfect way to finance that. More about it here.
So yes, if you have been planning to invest your money but haven’t had the time to do, here is a simple and cost effective way to do it at www.startasip.com
It will be great if you can share some feedback / suggestions. Thank You.

Abhik Prasad
Hey, thanks Asha.
This is separate from Finqa hence no complimentary branding.

Abhik – Good going. Congrats and all the best.
Do I get to choose my own funds ? Or would you suggest me the funds ?Â

Hi Abhik,
This is really great stuff and i really liked the idea because i am a great believer in mutual fund investment and have also started tagging my personal goals to mutual fund investment and once your tag a goal to a mutual fund only then you can start investing it for long term.
One query/suggestion what if customers have done their own investment in mutual fund do you allow them to be included into application so that a user can see in a dashboard all the goals that he/she has and the mutual funds tagged to it.
Also i feel that in India while we have an educated segment of people but they are not financially literate (even i am being one of the financially illiterate person) so what if you also partner with Certified Financial planners who currently do this but on excel files. So could allow them to use your platform for providing services to their customers.
All the best!!
Regards
Vimlesh
