Abhisek Puglia: Financial Planning plans consist of Free Tier which will capture 50% of the features and then paid tiers for premium features like (Online Consultation, Transmission Planning, etc. A nominal ₹1000 per year for comprehensive actionable advice ranging from investments, goals, insurance, lifestyle, and taxes.

We did a few rounds of closed user group testing and we have had immense learnings. Users want full guidance on their financial plans and they prefer a platform where advice, execution, and a single view of entire finances are available. We are building a platform that has all of these. We understood that users appreciate that an advisor who is charging them fees is far cheaper than banks or wealth managers who earn commissions. 

So, an advisor like GoalTeller is free of conflicts! These learnings are what we are incorporating in our launch plan and we hope what we experienced in the CUG will be visible post our public launch too! We believe our dynamic and adaptable, conflict-free advisory model is what users need.
