During my leadership roles at Microsoft, HCL, and Accenture across multiple countries, I faced a challenge — managing cross-border wealth effectively. Like millions of others, I found myself maintaining complex spreadsheets, trying to track and plan my investments across different countries.
When I sought professional help, I was disappointed to discover that most investment advisors were driven by commissions rather than my financial success. The advice I received wasn't truly aligned with my best interests.
As I spoke with fellow Indian community, I realized this wasn't just my problem. The statistics were shocking: 99% of NRIs lack access to proper financial planning due to high costs and unrealistic minimum investments. This isn't just a statistic; it's a fundamental problem that needs solving. Quality financial planning shouldn't be a luxury — it should be accessible to everyone.
My name ‘Prakash’ means brightness in Sanskrit, and it perfectly aligns with my purpose. Drawing from my expertise in engineering, product management, and business leadership, I founded InvestMates — a comprehensive digital wealth management platform designed specifically for the global Indian community.
Through InvestMates, we're democratizing access to sophisticated financial tools and building what I wished existed during my own cross-border journey. This isn't just a business; it's our mission to transform how global Indians manage their wealth — making professional financial guidance accessible, affordable, and truly aligned with their interests.
