UAE-based Valura.ai makes India debut with a Rs 3,000 crore AUM pipeline


AI-native investment platform Valura.ai on Monday announced the onboarding of over 1,000 wealth advisors across India ahead of its official launch, with a collective asset under management (AUM) pipeline exceeding Rs 3,000 crore over the next 12-18 months.

The onboarded network includes Independent Financial Advisors (IFAs), Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs), Mutual Fund Distributors, and Chartered Accountants, the company said in a media release

The pre-launch response signals strong demand for a credible global investing infrastructure at a time when India’s outbound investment surged 67% to $41.6 billion in FY25, and the rupee has depreciated over 8% against the US dollar in the past twelve months, the release said.

Valura.ai is a multi-asset investment platform, allowing exposure across equities, ETFs, global mutual funds, bonds, REITs, structured products, pre-IPO opportunities, and Shariah-compliant investment solutions.

The platform provides access to over 100,000 global securities with client assets held in local custody within the IFSC at GIFT City under IFSCA regulation, rather than being routed through offshore brokers.


Commenting on the development, CEO Priyesh Ranjan claimed Valura combines AI-driven research and portfolio construction with seamless execution, compliance automation, and local custody, and it is the reason why 1,000 advisors committed ahead of the launch. “The demand for global access is real, and the infrastructure to serve it has not existed until now,” he said.

“There has always been demand from my HNI clients for global bonds and Shariah-compliant portfolios, but the lack of a reliable, compliant platform limited what I could offer. Valura finally bridges that gap,” said Rajesh Jha, a wealth advisor and Co-founder at Jain Investments.He was among the wealth advisors who were onboarded on the platform.

It is an IFSCA-registered broker-dealer and has operated as a regulated investment platform in the UAE. The company is entirely bootstrapped.
