Fidwise
Financial news, a community,
and verified experts.
Built for India's retail investors. Mobile first, India first.
News in 80 words
Real community
Verified experts
The problem
Retail investors in India
are underserved.
- Financial news is too long, too jargon heavy, or behind paywalls.
- Good discussion is scattered across noisy social feeds.
- It is hard to know which "expert" online is genuinely credible.
People want it faster, cleaner, and more trustworthy.
The solution
One app, three things
that belong together.
1
News in 80 words
Every market story summarised into a fast, swipeable card, from trusted outlets.
Inspired by Inshorts
2
A real community
Comment, react, follow other investors, and discuss every story.
Inspired by Twitter, now X
3
Verified experts
A directory of market experts with verified credentials, to follow and reach.
Inspired by Topmate, Practo
A personal portfolio ties it all together.
Pillar one
News in 80 words.
Stay informed in minutes, not hours. Every story is a full screen card you swipe through, one story per screen.
- About 80 words per story, plain English.
- Swipe between stories, like Inshorts.
- From trusted news outlets, factual only.
Pillar two
A community that
actually invests.
Discuss every story with real investors, not anonymous noise. The patterns people already know from finance Twitter.
- Threaded replies and reactions on every story.
- Mentions, follow, and a public investor profile.
- Verified badges, so credibility is visible.
Pillar three
Experts you can
actually trust.
Follow and reach market experts whose credentials are verified, not just loud accounts with big follower counts.
- Discover investors and experts by style.
- Verified credentials, ratings, and a public profile.
- Follow the people worth learning from.
The glue
Your portfolio, as a
trust signal.
- It personalises the feed to the stocks and themes you hold.
- Only broker connected holdings are shown to others as verified.
- Manual holdings stay private and clearly unverified.
- This keeps the information other investors see honest.
A trust signal, not a profit and loss tracker.
Who it is for
India's retail investors.
- People who already follow finance news and finance Twitter.
- They want it faster and cleaner, on their phone.
- They want to learn from credible people, not anonymous noise.
Mostly first time and early investors, investing their own money.
Boundaries
What Fidwise is not.
- Not a trading terminal or a price tracking app.
- Not an advisory service. No buy or sell tips, no predicted returns.
- Content is factual news only, to stay compliant with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
Trust and compliance are features, not afterthoughts.
Why now
A generation is starting to invest.
- India's retail investing base has grown quickly in recent years.
- Millions now invest from their phones for the first time.
- Finance content and communities are booming, but fragmented.
Specific market figures to be verified and cited before any external or investor use.
The product
Real, and shipping.
Live today on web and on Android closed testing. A guided first run, then a personalised feed.
Where we are
Early, and focused.
We are pre launch and deliberately narrow: get the core loop right, then grow.
What is next, in sequence
Live now: web app, and Android in closed testing.
Near term goal: the first 100 organic daily users.
Grow active testers, then sharpen the core loop.
Money is parked until people genuinely engage.
Fidwise
The trusted home for
India's retail investors.
India first now, global later.
