Mumbai-based Raise launches new learning platform Upsurge
On Wednesday, Mumbai-based Raise Financial Services announced
the introduction of Upsurge, a financial learning platform designed to make it
easier to learn about markets, comprehend finance, and manage finances.
The Surat-based e-learning platform Valuationary, which Raise
purchased in April of this year, created and runs Upsurge. Raise said in a
statement on Wednesday that it will use Upsurge to develop compelling learning
experiences, interactive live sessions, self-learning, help activities, and
bite-sized content to encourage financial independence.
As opposed to previous e-learning platforms, Upsurge aims to
function as a club for enthusiasts who want to learn about, interact with, and
contribute to the creation of a community for markets, money, and finance.
“People seeking information and ideas about money,
investment, and finance have shown an unparalleled rise in interest in India.
We are creating a platform called Upsurge that, through
interesting courses, hands-on learning, and bite-sized content, makes money and
finance simpler “, according to Upsurge creator Pratik Bajaj. The company
stated that the acquisition of Moneylicious was part of a plan to introduce a
new investment app for casual day traders and long-term investors.
To assist active traders in implementing their trading methods
and in creating trading platforms that are tailored to their requirements,
Raise has released an API platform this year called DhanHQ. “More and more
Indians are attempting to manage their finances independently in recent years
thanks to DIY platforms for mobile money management.
At Raise, we are creating a network of consumer financial
services, starting with Dhan, a trading and investment platform that is
technology-driven “Raise’s founder and CEO, Pravin Jadhav, said.
Previously, Jadhav served as the managing director of Paytm Money, the
company’s wealth management division. Raise is a technology-driven investment
platform with a focus on long-term investors and super traders. It was founded
in 2021.
