Comment “Stock” for more more 💵

Most people open a trading app, buy a stock on a tip, and lose money.
Not because markets are hard — but because they had no clear understanding of “Why?” behind buying.

Pranit Arora saw this problem. And built Univest — now India’s largest advisory-first broking company.
The idea was bold: don’t just give people a platform to trade. Give them the why behind every trade.
Today Univest combines advisory, broking, portfolio tracking, mutual funds, and AI investing tools — all in one place.
The numbers speak:
• 1Cr+ app downloads
• 5L+ paid subscribers
• ~₹180Cr ARR
• ~₹40,000Cr AUM on platform
• ₹115Cr+ raised from Bertelsmann, InnoVen & Alteria
India has 20Cr+ demat accounts. An entire generation is entering the markets for the first time and experienced people are losing money in markets because of lack pf discipline.

Univest is built exactly for them! by @seriesmaddy

On @seriesmaddy with Deep Kalra - founder of MakeMyTrip

From building when India wasn't booking travel online... to now exploring a potential Indian listing - a true full-circle moment.

Nearly 16 years after its Nasdaq listing, a potential India listing marks the next phase of evolution.

Key highlights:

- 87 Mn+ lifetime transacted customers

- 77,000+ SME & corporate customers

- ~$4.4Bn market cap on Nasdaq

- ~$295Mn quarterly revenue (~11% YoY growth)

What stood out from the conversation:

Conviction before consensus

Playing the long game

Reinventing through every cycle

From a startup simplifying flight bookings to acquiring platforms like Goibibo and redBus, MMT has been instrumental in building India's digital travel ecosystem.

A potential India listing could unlock fresh domestic capital and drive the next phase of travel innovation by @seriesmaddy

Joined with Nitin Sharma, Founding Partner at Antler India.

Antler today manages ~$1.5Bn AUM with a presence across 27 cities globally.

A Day Zero investor, Antler backs founders even before the idea, team, or product exists - building companies from scratch through its residency model.

From validating ideas → building MVPs → unlocking global capital, Antler partners with founders at every step and helps them go Further, Faster.

In India, this translates into:
* Building startups from 0 → 1 alongside senior operators and other founders
* ₹4 Cr upfront investment with fast decisions
* Hands-on support from team formation to early traction
* Access to a global platform across 27 cities (including SF) and long-term follow-on capital

Globally, Antler has backed breakout companies like Lovable and Airalo.

In India, interesting bets include Armory, Namma Yatri, HouseEazy, Inspecity and many more.

Also, EMBARK - their US-focused program - is helping Indian founders build for global markets from Day 0. They have already taken 23 startups and helped them get significant US traction in weeks instead of months.

Antler is redefining venture - not just funding companies, but co-building them from inception to scale.
