What the founder has to say
Speaking on the latest fundraise, the co-founders and co-CEOs – Sitashwa Srivastava and Vinay Bharathwaj – said, “We are very excited about the opportunity of making investing and savings a truly borderless use-case. Investors from emerging markets have always been short-changed when it comes to finding diverse investment opportunities, and we are happy to play a large role in unlocking their global potential. The last couple of years has highlighted that there is a tremendous appetite among retail investors to make their money borderless, and they will make the leap provided the required ecosystem is available. We work closely with banks and regulators in all our markets to make Stockal an extremely seamless platform.”

We believe Stockal has the right ingredients to build global leadership in this space. They have created a very impressive distribution network in India and MENA, and we are excited about their prospects and approach in South East Asia and Eastern Europe.”
