Bengaluru-based retail bond platform Wint Wealth has raised ₹250 crore in its Series B funding round, led by Vertex Ventures Southeast Asia & India. Existing investors including 3one4 Capital, 8 Roads Ventures, Arkham Ventures, and Zerodha’s Rainmatter also doubled down on the company’s growth vision.
The fresh infusion will fuel Wint Wealth’s plans to broaden its corporate bond offerings, scale up investor education initiatives, and strengthen its technology and operations backbone. A portion of the capital will also be deployed to bolster its NBFC arm, which currently manages an AUM of about ₹200 crore.
“For decades, fixed income has been central to Indian investing, and corporate bonds are now at the cusp of becoming a preferred asset class for retail investors. This funding gives us the momentum to accelerate that shift and bring bonds to the heart of every retail portfolio,” said Ajinkya Kulkarni, Co-founder & CEO of Wint Wealth.
Operating as a SEBI-regulated online bond portfolio platform, Wint Wealth aims to democratise access to fixed-income products, a space traditionally dominated by institutional players. Backing the company’s mission, Piyush Kharbanda, General Partner at Vertex Ventures SEA & India, said, “Wint Wealth has crafted a trusted platform built on regulatory discipline, strong investor education, and scalable technology. We’re delighted to support their journey as they work to make corporate bonds a mainstream investment choice in India.”
To date, the platform claims to have facilitated over ₹8,000 crore in investments and serves more than 300,000 retail investors. With rising interest in alternative investment options, Wint Wealth is now gearing up to deepen its presence across India and bring fixed-income opportunities closer to everyday investors.
