Before securing funding, I had to convince the investors why they should bet on @getbelong. Now I’m preparing to show Global Indians exactly why the bet was worth it along with @ActusDei..

Prepping for the @livemint Extraclass and thinking about how wild it is that NRIs still deal with physical bank visits for KYC, relentless pursuing of their RMs, INR depreciation risks, and fixed, long FD tenures. Then thinking about how Belong strips all of that away through…

GIFT City is more than just tax perks. It’s the start of a new way NRIs interact with Indian finance. I’ll be breaking it down live with @neilborate on @livemint ! livemint.com/extraclass-nri

Airport queues vs. bank KYC queues - one gets you to another country, the other keeps you stuck with paperwork

Years in fintech taught me how painful NRI investing can be - Endless KYC, FX hits, red tape. @GetBelong taps GIFT City to flip the script: USD deposits, doorstep KYC, tax-free returns with zero depreciation. Curious to know how? I’ll break it down live on Mint ExtraClass

Remittances to India hit $129 Bn in 2024, but #NRI investments still lag! @GetBelong, backed by @ElevCap & marquee angels, is changing that - starting with USD FDs via #GIFTCity for NRIs in the UAE @ankurc07 tells @ShrutiMishra_ how Belong is unlocking India for global Indians.

Although UAE NRIs don't pay tax on their MFs, some points to note: 1) TDS is cut by the AMCs - file for a refund in ITR 2) 25k INR for UAE TRC 3) TRC is calendar year, so need multiple TRCs 4) File Form 10F with ITR Points by Ankur Choudhary of Belong (an NRI focused fintech)

Last week, Team Belong attended the Global Securities Markets Conclave (GSMC) at GIFT City, India’s rising financial hub. The two-day event, inaugurated by Shri K. Rajaraman (IFSCA Chairperson) and featuring a keynote by Shri V. Anantha Nageswaran (Chief Economic Advisor),

RBI’s move to allow Resident Indians to open Foreign Currency Accounts in Gift City under the LRS scheme opens new doors for investors (1) #giftcity #residentindians #rbi

one advantage of choosing open source is that users are derisked against such takeovers by private equity etc Since observability is a core piece of infra which companies depend on, makes a lot of sense to go open source from day1 Worst case you can always run the code yourself
