Founded in 1993 by Ravi Kohli, Bluechip Capital offers its clients mutual fund distribution services. It also offers clients credible succession plans, long-term institutional continuity and world-class platform capabilities.
“When we find firms who share our commitment to putting clients first, it creates the foundation for something meaningful. Bluechip Capital is exactly that kind of firm. Ravi has built something rare — 33 years of deep trust — and we are proud to carry that forward,” Scripbox’s CEO Atul Shinghal said.
Important to mention that has previously acquired multiple other investment platforms like Wealth Managers, Upwardly, and Mitraz Financial, with the aim of integrating independent wealth management businesses across India.
Founded in 2012 by Shinghal and Sanjiv Singhal, Scripbox allows users to invest in various mutual fund schemes for long term wealth generation and also offers financial planning services through its AI-powered tech stack.
The startup has raised over $55 Mn in funding to date from investors like Accel, Omidyar Network, Flourish Ventures, and Nippon Life Insurance, and was last valued at $138 Mn. Last year, it was reportedly in talks to raise $15-20 Mn at a valuation of $200 Mn.
In FY25, it posted ₹107.2 Cr in revenue and turned profitable for the first time with ₹12.8 Cr in net profit. The startup is yet to disclose its financials for FY26.
Scripbox competes with major wealthtech players such as Zerodha, Groww and Fisdom in the mutual fund investment segment. The startup is looking to capitalise on India’s investment tech market, which is projected to grow into a $31 Bn opportunity by 2030.
