Bachatt, an Indian WealthTech startup, has secured $12 million in its Series A funding round led by global venture capital firm Accel. The Mumbai-based company, legally registered as Trusave Fintech Private Limited, aims to simplify financial planning for India’s underserved segments. By lowering the entry barrier for investing, the firm specifically targets young professionals and self-employed individuals who have traditionally lacked access to structured wealth management services.
The platform initially focused on a micro-savings model, allowing users to start investing with small amounts in digital gold and mutual funds. Bachatt's technology suite streamlines the onboarding process, using a mobile-first approach to reach users in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. As the company grows, it is expanding its ecosystem to include credit products and more sophisticated asset allocation frameworks. This strategy allows the firm to capture users early in their financial journey and provide curated fund baskets as their wealth increases.
This infusion of capital will be utilized to enhance the platform’s technical infrastructure and accelerate the rollout of advisory-led investment models. For the broader WealthTech industry, the investment underscores the strategic importance of high-volume, low-friction platforms in emerging markets. By integrating compliance and risk governance directly into the digital experience, Bachatt demonstrates how technology can democratize access to financial advice. The deal highlights a continued trend of major venture firms backing solutions that bridge the gap between traditional banking and the digital economy.
Knote: Bachatt launched last May and claims to already have 3 million users on their platform and looking to scale to 30 million users in the next 12-24 months. That is the kind of growth US platforms can really only dream about.
