What is Robo-Advisory & WealthTech?
Robo-advisory platforms use algorithms and automation to provide investment advice and portfolio management with minimal human intervention. In India, platforms like Groww, INDmoney, ET Money, and Scripbox have democratized investing — offering SIP automation, goal-based planning, tax-saving recommendations, and automated rebalancing. Globally, Betterment and Wealthfront pioneered this space. The technology stack combines financial models (Modern Portfolio Theory, Monte Carlo simulation) with intuitive UX to guide investors through goal setting, risk profiling, asset allocation, and ongoing portfolio management.
