![]() Cities Ruckus inside Delhi civic body as physical fight breaks out between AAP, BJP councillors.“So someone in India can actually say I have a house in India, I work in India and so I actually want lower India exposure.” But there is AutoPilot too, which will let the AI take full control with the user just giving some basic guidance on the investment. Sengupta says the personalisation aspect of Arta lets users make market-appropriate adjustments for themselves. With BNY Mellon as the custodian bank, Arta will be investing primarily in the US market because it gives access to the global markets and also tends to have the most amount of free available data for the AI to use. “We are applying for approvals and licences in multiple countries and obviously India is a very high priority for us, given our backgrounds.” But Sengupta adds that Indian investors should be able to use the RBI’s Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) to invest via Arta even before local operations start. Sengupta says while the global waiting list will be launched November 2, they will only be able to onboard accredited US investors initially. “Over time, we will start trying to bring more of the financial ecosystem that can help each of our rising professionals, and hopefully over time everyone into that space.” On top of this, Arta is building a user experience that connects investors to experts who can help with taxes and other stuff. And that’s the core of where we’re starting.” “We are calling AI managed portfolios, amps. Merging the knowledge from the world of high value finance with the deep AI understanding the team has from Google, Sengupta says, enables Arta to bring “AI-managed portfolios” to millions of people by creating a highly personalised, super easy and super sophisticated, but low-cost portfolio. Arta Finance now has 67 employees with offices in Mountain View, California and Singapore. That’s a space that is perfectly set up for AI and machine learning because it’s a big data problem,” he says, adding that a bunch of his colleagues and one of Arta’s co-founders come from that world. “They are using scientific algorithms, a lot of data to invest their money. The rest of us will, you know, often have to liquidate our assets every time we need it, like when we put a down payment down on our house,” says Sengupta, adding that Arta will open up a line of credit against assets so that tech professionals for instance don’t have to sell their stocks to grow.īut Arta’s USP will be using AI at scale to create public market portfolios, bringing in quant fund learnings but without the PhDs usually needed to run them. “They will never sell their assets, they’ll actually borrow against it and go against it. Sengupta also wants to unleash the power of credit, which he believes is a “superpower” of the ultra wealthy. “Obviously, we will make it much easier to do, much simpler to understand.” Using a digital front end, Arta Finance will start off by giving access to private assets like private equity, real estate and private credit. High net worth families keep family offices, or a privately held company that handles their investments and wealth, usually upwards of $50 million, to grow and pass on to coming generations. “We feel these kinds of wealth generation, wealth preservation, wealth protection capabilities should be available to all.” Arta will have a fee-based model for its investors. They will also bring down the entry barrier for a product like this with a minimum threshold of $10,000 for the US. “We figured what we could do was use technology to sort of make the same advantages available to millions more by creating a digital family office,” he says. Sengupta wants to cater to professionals in the 30 to 40 age group who “have saved up some money, but not yet enough to have like private banks or family offices help them”.
