UAE’s Valura.ai gives India’s wealth advisory ecosystem a global investing push. Ahead of its official launch, the AI-native platform has onboarded over 1,000 wealth advisors across India. Representing a projected AUM pipeline of more than ₹3,000 crore over the next 12-18 months.
Valura.ai provides advisors and their clients access to over one lakh global securities while keeping assets in local custody within the IFSC at GIFT City under IFSCA regulation. By avoiding offshore brokers, the platform aims to simplify compliance and reduce operational risks. The network includes independent financial advisors, registered investment advisors, and mutual fund distributors, signaling broad appeal across India’s wealth advisory landscape.
Priyesh Ranjan, CEO at Valura.ai, said, “Valura combines AI-driven research and portfolio construction with seamless execution, compliance automation and local custody.” The platform leverages artificial intelligence to generate investment insights and build portfolios. Automated compliance reduces the administrative burden for advisors. Having previously operated as a regulated investment platform in the UAE, Valura brings international experience to the Indian market.
The pre-launch traction reflects strong demand for credible global investing infrastructure. India’s outbound investments surged 67% to USD 41.6 billion in FY25, while the rupee depreciated more than 8% against the dollar in the past year. Advisors and investors are looking for regulated platforms that combine technology, transparency and local custody to navigate a global investment environment.
Valura.ai’s entry highlights how AI and regulatory compliance can intersect to transform global investing for Indian clients. If it can deliver on its promise of seamless execution and robust advisory support, the platform could become a key player. That would bridge domestic wealth with international markets.
