The platform has benefited from recent regulatory changes, which have enhanced the appeal and security of debt investments. The Securities and Exchange Board of India has introduced rules for Online Bond Buying Platforms (OBPP), ensuring the protection of investors’ rights and the smooth execution of bond transactions. Additionally, the reduction of the minimum investment threshold for bonds from ₹100,000 to ₹10,000 has made bond investments accessible to a wider retail audience.
Grip Invest is targeting affluent Indians, a demographic that is increasingly seeking higher yields and diversified investment options. The platform’s typical investor falls within the 35 to 50 age range, reflecting a mature, financially savvy demographic. With over 26,000 investors contributing to the ₹1000 crore AUM, Grip Invest has a broad reach across India, with participation from about 10% of all PIN codes.
The company plans to raise additional funds to invest in technology and talent, with a focus on strengthening its application programming interface stack. Despite its current revenue of ₹9 crore and a net loss of ₹2 crore, Aggarwal is optimistic about the platform’s growth prospects and profitability. Grip Invest has also launched Electrifi Mobility, a full-stack commercial EV solutions provider, in partnership with former Cars24 India CEO Kunal Mundra.
Grip Invest envisions evolving into a major player akin to Yieldstreet in the US, capitalising on the growing appetite for alternative fixed income investments. With a growing investor base and repeat investments, Aggarwal believes the platform’s growth will continue to accelerate, driven by the vast pool of funds locked in bank fixed deposits (FDs).
