Neo Group, which intends to cater to both retail and institutional clients in India, currently manages assets of approximately $1bn.

The company also raised $40m in funding from private investors.

Jain said: “India’s current household financial wealth stands at around $ 3 trillion and is likely to grow at 17-18% over the next decade.

“This is happening at a time when interest rates in India are at historic lows and the need for sophisticated and responsible financial advisory offering inflation beating, high yielding investment options is increasing. Neo Group through its multiple businesses will strive to fill that gap and provide clients with trustworthy, transparent and unbiased investment solutions.”
