Startup investment platform Mumbai Angels Network for early-stage venture investments, along with JITO Angel Network, and other angel investors, has invested $200,000 in AI-enabled app Pickright Technologies, to plan and manage finances and diversify investments for millennials across direct and indirect assets.

"The world is going through an extremely challenging time with rampant uncertainty, and we are staring into a pension-less future with the erosion of interest rates and growing inflation. This is the right time for people, young and old, to take a step towards wealth creation. Every penny counts," said Archana Elapavuluri, co-founder and chief executive officer, Pickright Technologies.

A wealthtech platform for digitally native masses, the Pickright app enables users to organize finances by intelligently saving and investing smartly across asset classes with AI and ML-powered deep personalization.

Pickright Technologies has been committed to help enhance their assets and investments and we believe that our collective investment will help the platform scale-up and cater to more customers. This capital infusion is a testament to Pickright's expertise in the wealth creation area and its constant innovation through tech-driven methods," commented Nandini Mansinghka, co-promoter, and chief executive officer, Mumbai Angels Network.

Founded by Archana Elapavuluri and Namandeep Bhatia, Pickright Technologies has curated, powerful, and diversified portfolios for every user based on user profiling and allows them to invest according to their eligibility month-on-month across asset classes using AI and ML, thereby being a financial assistant in your pocket. The freshly infused funds will be utilized for enhancing the platform's marketing, designing new tech, and most importantly, to create awareness on the importance of investing right and early to avail maximum returns in an organized manner, the company shared.

"I am delighted to be associated with Pickright Technologies' growth story. I strongly believe in their proposition as an AI-enabled app offering curated, diversified portfolios across asset classes with single-click execution. Pickright is the ideal solution for digital native users to assist with micro saving, planning, and investing right," added Arun Thukral, the deal lead for the funding round.
