Wint Wealth secures Rs 250 crore in series B funding

*This article is adapted from * The Economic Times

Investment platform Wint Wealth has secured Rs 250 crore (about $27 million) from investors led by Vertex Ventures SEA & India to support its expansion plans.

Ajinkya Kulkarni, cofounder of the Bengaluru-based startup, said Eight Roads Ventures, 3one4 Capital, Arkham Ventures, and Zerodha’s investing arm Rainmatter also participated in this round.

Kulkarni said the funds will primarily be used to grow the business and strengthen its credit offerings. “Wint Wealth’s Online Bond Platform Provider(OBPP) arm has grown new sign-ups 10 times, strengthening its lead in India’s retail bond market and encouraging wider corporate bond adoption,” said Kulkarni.

Wint Wealth had last raised $15 million from Eight Roads Ventures, 3One4 Capital and others.

The company, founded in 2020 by Kulkarni, Abhik Patel, Shashank Chimaladari and Anshul Gupta, is a Securities Exchange Board of India (Sebi)-regulated online bond platform provider (OBPP). This licence allows the fintech platform to distribute listed corporate bonds to retail investors.

Retail investors use Wint Wealth to buy corporate bonds, securitised debt instruments and non-convertible debentures (NCDs) issued by non-banking financial companies (NBFCs). These were earlier largely accessible only to institutional investors.

“Clearer rules from Sebi have made a real difference for the market. Over the past nine months, we’ve seen steady growth in both new investors and the capital coming in, which shows there is genuine interest in bonds, ” he said.

The company received Sebi approval in 2023 to operate as an OBPP, allowing it to list and distribute debt instruments to retail investors under a regulated framework.

Wint Wealth also has an NBFC as a subsidiary entity within the organisation. The company has already created assets under management (AUM) of Rs 200 crore, and now with the fresh funds, Wint Wealth wants to capitalise the lending business further.

The latest investment in Wint Wealth comes amid increasing investor interest in India’s wealthtech startups.

PowerUp Money had raised $12 million in December 2025, in a funding round led by Peak XV Partners.

Dezerv had raised about Rs 350 crore in September 2025 in a funding round led by Premji Invest Accel and others.

Fixed-income platform Stable Money had raised Rs 173 crore in June 2025 in a round led by Nandan Nilekani’s Fundamentum Partnership, Z47 (Matrix Partners) and others.
