There are 200 Mn Indians who save manually in bank deposits, the returns from these instruments do not even beat India's inflation.Gold is an instrument that India loves - 30Bn worth of gold is purchased in India every year by middle income households.Gold has great cultural significance in India \u0026amp; there is high familiarity with the asset class.Despite gold being a familiar asset class \u0026amp; giving 5% higher returns than bank deposits, 200 Mn Indians still save manually in these non wealth creating bank deposits.This is largely because the ways to save in Gold required painful discrete activities such as manually accumulating money to buy gold, going to offline stores to buy this gold, incurring storage charges \u0026amp; more.The minimum ticket size for purchasing gold at these stores is $50 adding to more friction to saving in Gold.Using automated savings, Gullak now makes it extremely easy for users to save small amounts regularly ($1/day) in digital Gold.This was not possible a year ago because the underlying infrastructure (UPI Autopay) was missing.With 50 Mn Indians saving $2/day \u0026amp; with gold backed lending, this is a $1.5Bn market opportunity.Forward-looking projections cannot be guaranteed.Forward-looking projections cannot be guaranteed.Forward-looking projections cannot be guaranteed.","location":"Delaware City,
