In September last year, Scripbox had acquired Upwardly, a digital financial advisory start-up.
Anup Bansal, Co-Founder & Managing Director of Mitraz Financial, added, “Scripbox has established itself as the leader in digital wealth management. Integrating their tech-led toolkit with our advisory capability will boost the experience we provide to our clients.”
According to Shinghal, 2020 has been a good year for Scripbox despite COVID-19 with revenue and assets under management increasing nearly three-fold.
India has the fifth largest base of HNIs and UHNIs in Asia according to a recent Boston Consulting Group (BCG) report. Scripbox's acquisition of Mitraz is likely to strengthen Scripbox’s presence in the fast-growing wealth management domain in India.
