“Despite gold being a familiar asset class & giving 5% higher returns than bank deposits, 200 mn Indians still save manually in these non wealth creating bank deposits.”
Manthan Shah,
Co-founder at Gullak

Why were Indians still saving offline?

Users were comfortable paying their grocers via UPI but were sceptical about using the same to save systematically and hence were still saving offline.

There was also a lack of awareness about the power of compounding and the benefit of digital investments over conventional non-wealth-creating savings.
