“SmartMoney IA was conceived to make stock market investments accessible to more people, even those who have limited savings by studying the barriers that people have that put them away from investing,” said Selvan Rajan, founder CEO of the company.
These may include lack of time, exorbitant cost and not knowing how to analyze investment opportunities and where to find those opportunities, he noted.
“People can invest a tiny amount that would grow gradually over time,” said Rajan promising, “A tiny amount and a huge amount will get the same and equal treatments on our platform.”

“We are bringing one of the best ways to earn more to people who need it the most. We are trying to make the investments as much as possible to be socially responsible, impactful and conscious,” stated Rajan.
Rajan, who founded the company in 2017 has more than three decades of experience working in large corporations on emerging technologies like mobile and big data, according to the release.
