Exceptional Financial Advice Tailored to Your Needs by Arjun!

I’ve had multiple consultation sessions with Arjun, and they were simply amazing! He is incredibly patient, taking the time to thoroughly listen to all my queries and providing thoughtful, well-explained advice. His knowledge about tax-saving strategies and wealth creation options is impressive. Arjun crafted a tailor-made plan that perfectly suits our needs and expectations. I couldn’t be happier with his guidance and would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for expert financial advice!

Investment options for Indian in Germany

Indians living in Germany looking for investment options? Arjun/Anirudh can help you out with that.

He has diversified my portfolio and through him and Anirudh, I have gotten the cash back option as well. They hear all your queries and give customized solutions. I must say, I have been amazed to see the no. of Indians they reach out to. Special thanks to Arjun and Aniruddh for their relentless follow ups and guidance. Thanks once again.

Indian in DE? Can't figure out investments? Look no further.

I have been opting for investments through India initiatives since late 2023 and I find them a perfect for me as an Indian expat.

Priyesh, my investment advisor gives his 100% in every interaction and truly believes in enabling his clients to make the right decision. The biggest value I found during the last year-
1. Simplifies overwhelming amount of information on procedures and regulations in Germany, which was earlier a deterrence to making any investments here.
2. Covers all aspects such as pre-requisites, investment options including the little known benefits, tax optimization.
3. Detailed discussions on right entry and exit strategy for each asset class.
4. Access to variety of investment options such as stocks, funds, gold, insurances, and vetted investment real estate all under one roof.

I find india initiatives to be a niche service offering specifically designed to help expats and I can strongly recommend them. Thank you Priyesh and look forward to continued support into the future.

Visionaries and right partners determined to drive your financial growth

I had an opportunity to work with Gaurav Rathi on personal financial planning. I am based in Munich. I must say, I was quite surprised with the level of engagement, his fascination towards co-creating financial objectives & the quality of financial advisory, which was very much aligning with my financial goals. Gaurav not only advised me on when/how to use the financial instruments (real estate, ETFs, insurances etc.) that would fit with my financial objective, but also navigated me through out the process. I would like to recommend Gaurav, and also India initiative for their authenticity, customer centricity and excellence in providing personalized solutions.

Clear communication.

I had the pleasure of working with Gaurav and Priyesh, and I am incredibly impressed with their professionalism, expertise, and dedication. From the very beginning, they took the time to understand my financial goals, current situation, and long-term aspirations.

Their advice was clear, practical, and tailored to my specific needs. They helped me navigate complex financial decisions and provided valuable insights that I hadn’t considered before.

What stood out most was their ability to explain financial concepts in a way that was easy to understand, making the entire process stress-free and empowering. Their proactive communication and regular updates gave me confidence that my finances were in good hands.
