“Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.” ~Steve Jobs
Success does not come easy. Ask any entrepreneur who has spent countless days and nights trying to create or build their business. Entrepreneurs counter failures with passion and perseverance which makes their success and their life: inspiring and exciting. Deeraj Shetty is one such empowering team player who has carved a distinguished niche in his area of expertise and has shown remarkable entrepreneurial intellect during his journey.
Whilst living in Singapore and undergoing internships at CitiBank Singapore and UBS Singapore, he immediately realized the alarming gap between Client Expectations vs. Client Experience. Individuals require financial solutions but what was advised were exotic products, international funds or high commission investment products such as Insurance. Deeraj was dealing with a constant Conflict of Interest in the corporate world as he never had the liberty to be client or solution-centric. As an NRI having worked in the USA, Dubai, Bahrain and Singapore, Deeraj
understood that India being an unorganized and nascent personal finance market, the potential to assist families with Retirement Solutions is multifold.
Hence the birth of Ethos Wealth, a Retirement Advisory firm focused on Wealth Preservation and Wealth Creation solutions with a detailed focus on Tax Efficiency and Risk Management.

SYNCHRONIZING WITH TRENDS
It is essential to work ahead of markets and consumer trends in both – saving vs investing, in order to be relevant

On Research and Development
Deeraj Shetty,
““Today, R&D is essential to survive. With changing Customer Behavior, decreasing Customer Loyalty, and technological advancements, competition is fierce. If we wish to create a long term, sustainable business, R&D, Operational Efficiency and Client Engagement is essential.”
TECHNOLOGY IS PIVOTAL
Technological advancement is essential to be relevant in today’s world. At Ethos Wealth, we believe the focus on Client Engagement and Client Experience is successfully delivered due to our investment in technology over the years. Every family can access investments and portfolios on their laptops or the mobile app. Account opening and investments are executed at the click of a button with security and compliance measures strictly followed.
