Our team has been trying to deliberate various ways of making our clients' lives better. We regularly come up with ways of helping which are well beyond the scope of a profit-centered organization. I look after strategic planning of the organization, integrated marketing, tie-ups and financial planning for clients. I thoroughly enjoy my role. At Finwisor, while we started as a private wealth management outfit, we have evolved to include consultancy services including startup advisory, marketing, operations, business structuring, taxation, etc. My startup story is in the video below.
