Wealth & asset management. Investing journeys that explain risk without losing the investor.

Every chart, fund page and ad is checked against SEBI’s advertisement code.

We design onboarding, investing and advice journeys, fund content and adviser AI for asset and wealth managers, brokers, advisers and retirement providers. Each programme is built to SEBI’s rules and the DPDP Act, and measured on time to first investment.

What is shifting

Four SEBI changes to fund rules, payments, adviser AI and finfluencers.

Mutual funds moved to new regulations, and advisers now answer for the AI tools they use. Each change shows what it demands, with a dated source you can check.

  1. New SEBI regulations now govern mutual funds.

    What it requiresFund pages, factsheets and campaigns rebuilt to the new regulations and advertisement code.

    EvidenceThe SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 2026 came into force on 1 April 2026, replacing the 1996 regulations.

  2. Investors can now see whom they are paying.

    What it requiresPayment steps that show the validated handle and explain what it means.

    EvidenceSince 1 October 2025, SEBI-registered intermediaries that collect investor funds must offer a validated UPI address on the “@valid” handle, marked by a thumbs-up icon.

  3. Advisers now answer for the AI they use.

    What it requiresAI features with clear accountability, data controls and records an auditor can read.

    EvidenceA December 2024 amendment to SEBI’s adviser regulations makes an adviser using AI tools solely responsible for client data and for advice based on their output.

  4. Finfluencer partnerships now face SEBI limits.

    What it requiresEducation and creator content that stays clear of advice and return claims.

    EvidenceSince August 2024, SEBI-regulated entities may not associate with unregistered persons who give advice or make return or performance claims.

The rulebook

The SEBI, RBI and data rules your journeys must meet.

Our reading for a typical programme covers fund advertising, advice, finfluencers, payments, cyber security and data. Your compliance team keeps sign-off.

Frameworks we build to

  • DPDP Act 2023 — Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023
  • ISO/IEC 27001:2022 — Information security management systems
  • CERT-In Directions 2022 — Cyber incident reporting directions
  • OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications — Security risks in generative AI applications
  • WCAG 2.2 AA — Web Content Accessibility Guidelines

We design and build to these frameworks; this is not a claim of certification.

Advertising & claims

Shapes most of the work

  1. Securities and Exchange Board of India

    SEBI rules on unregistered finfluencers

    Regulated entities and their agents may not associate with unregistered persons who give advice or recommendations, or who make return or performance claims.

    We designCreator and education programmes are screened for advice and return claims before they run.

  1. Securities and Exchange Board of India

    SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 2026

    Replaces the 1996 regulations from 1 April 2026. Under its Fifth Schedule code, ads must match the scheme documents, carry the standard risk warning unaltered and avoid testimonials, rankings and celebrities.

    We designFund pages and campaigns are generated from the scheme documents and checked against the code before release.

    SEBI validated UPI handles

    Intermediaries that collect investor funds must obtain and offer a validated UPI address on the “@valid” handle, shown with a thumbs-up in a green triangle. Investors may choose whether to use it.

    We designPayment steps show the validated handle and how to verify it.

  2. Reserve Bank of India

    RBI e-mandates for SIPs

    Recurring mutual-fund debits up to ₹1 lakh can run by e-mandate without extra authentication, with a notice before each debit and an easy way to cancel.

    We designSIP set-up shows every upcoming debit and puts cancellation one step away.

Personal data

Shapes most of the work

  1. Ministry of Electronics and IT

    DPDP Act, 2023 and DPDP Rules, 2025

    KYC, financial and nomination data needs consent per purpose, with withdrawal as easy as consent; breaches are reported to the Data Protection Board.

    We designOnboarding asks only for what KYC and the product need, with consent logged per purpose.

AI governance

Often shapes the work

  1. Securities and Exchange Board of India

    SEBI (Investment Advisers) Regulations, 2013

    Only registered advisers may give advice. Since 16 December 2024, an adviser who uses AI tools is solely responsible for client data and for advice based on their output.

Challenges

Where wealth & asset management loses customers and time.

What comes up first in most wealth & asset management conversations, from customer-facing screens to internal operations.

Your customers

  1. Understanding the risk

    Risk, costs and past returns explained without burying the investor in disclaimers.

  2. Starting without friction

    KYC, nomination and the first SIP done in one sitting.

  3. Knowing whom to trust

    Registered names, validated payment handles and clear advice boundaries on every screen.

An adviser sits across a low table from a smiling couple who are reviewing papers on a sofa
Advice still happens across a table, and it has to be on the record.

Your operation

  1. Disclosure in every asset

    Factsheets, ads and social posts must match the scheme documents and the advertisement code.

  2. Consistency across distributors

    Distributors, platforms and advisers each present the same fund differently.

  3. Cyber resilience under audit

    Investor-facing systems must meet SEBI’s cyber framework, with evidence to show.

What we build

Work and insights

Case studies stay private until a client approves them.

No wealth & asset management client is named or described without written approval. Here is what we have written that bears on the industry.

A typical programme · composite

A mid-sized asset manager rebuilt its direct investing journey so an investor completes KYC, nomination and a first SIP in one sitting. Every chart and fund page is generated from the scheme documents and checked against the advertisement code.

Anonymised and illustrative: the shape a programme takes, never a named client.

Questions

What product, distribution and compliance heads ask us first.

Something else on your mind? Ask us directly

Q.01Can you build our investing app?

Yes: onboarding, KYC, SIPs, goals and statements, connected to your registrar, KYC agencies and payments. We build to SEBI’s cyber framework, with the evidence your auditors ask for.

Q.02How do you keep content inside the advertisement code?

Fund content is generated from the scheme documents and checked against the code before release. The check covers testimonials, rankings, celebrities and the full standard warning, and your compliance team signs off each asset.

Q.03Will AI give advice to our investors?

No. AI prepares, explains and checks; a registered adviser decides every recommendation. SEBI’s rules make the adviser responsible for advice based on AI output.

Q.04Do you work with distributors and platforms as well as fund houses?

Yes: asset managers, distributors, wealth platforms, portfolio managers and advisers. Each gets journeys built to the rules of its own registration.
