The company positions itself around the idea that finance in India is never personal - financial decisions in Indian households are inherently family decisions, made jointly across generations, influenced by parents, spouses, children's futures, and ageing dependents. NYVO Money is designed to serve the family as a unit, not the individual as a customer.[^4]

Background - Finance in India is never personal In most Indian households, financial decisions are not made by individuals in isolation. A 30-year-old salaried professional is simultaneously planning for their child's education (15 years away), their parents' health insurance (needed today), their own term cover (to protect a spouse), and a retirement corpus (30 years away). The decision to buy health insurance for ageing parents intersects with the decision to start an education SIP for a newborn. A family floater policy choice affects how much surplus is available for investments.

Yet these interconnected decisions are typically handled by separate, siloed, and often conflicting service providers - a mutual fund distributor pushing products for commission, an insurance agent selling based on incentives, and financial influencers offering generic advice with no accountability.

The scale of the problem is significant. According to the IRDAI 2024-25 annual report, the Indian health insurance industry processes over 1.5 crore (15 million) claims annually, with average claim sizes rising approximately 12% year-on-year.[^5] Medical inflation in India runs at approximately 14% per year.[^6] Meanwhile, a ₹30 lakh college degree today is projected to cost over ₹1 crore by 2040. Indian families face compounding financial complexity on both sides - protecting what they have and growing what they need - yet the market has historically offered no single platform that addresses both with aligned incentives.

In February 2026, the extent of mis-selling in India's insurance industry was starkly illustrated when a nationalised bank in Maharashtra sold a life insurance policy with a ₹2 lakh annual premium to a 90-year-old customer - with a maturity date of 2124. The incident prompted the Reserve Bank of India to propose comprehensive guidelines including mandatory suitability assessments and stronger staff accountability.[^1][^2][^3] NYVO Money was created to address this systemic gap - a family's financial coach that handles the full picture: what to invest in, how much insurance to buy, and how the two fit together. As the founders stated: "The only way to truly eliminate mis-selling is to remove the conflict of interest entirely."[^1]

History

Founding NYVO Money was founded in 2025 by Harsh Soni and Kshitij Jain, who had previously worked together at slice, a Bengaluru-based fintech company. Despite their combined experience across investment banking, management consulting, and fintech leadership, both founders found themselves personally struggling with the same financial decisions that every Indian family faces.[^4]

For Soni, the trigger was the birth of his daughter Nysha. He spent weeks researching the best way to invest for her education, only to find endless opinions but no single, unbiased platform that could help him build a real portfolio with clear execution.[^1] "I had 16 years of finance experience - I'd structured billion-dollar deals - and yet investing ₹50,000 a month for my daughter's education felt harder than any deal I'd worked on. The internet had endless 'gyan' but zero clarity on what to actually DO."

For Jain, the trigger was his parents losing their corporate health insurance when his elder brother moved abroad. Searching for a replacement policy, he found the market full of confusing jargon, conflicting reviews, and sales-driven recommendations.[^1][^3] "IIT Delhi. IIM Ahmedabad. Years at BCG solving complex problems. Yet I couldn't figure out which health insurance to buy for my own parents. Every 'best policy' came with a sales pitch."

Together, they recognised that children's education and family insurance are two of the biggest financial responsibilities in any Indian household - yet the most confusing to plan. They founded NYVO (meaning "New Voice") with the conviction that Indian families don't need more opinions - they need a system.[^1]

Philosophy and core values NYVO Money's philosophy is built around two pillars: -Invest - Grow with Purpose. Goal-based investing tied to specific life milestones: a child's education, a home purchase, retirement. The company emphasises starting early and staying consistent, noting that a ₹30 lakh college degree today could cost ₹1 crore by 2040. -Protect - Safeguard What You've Built. Insurance advisory with a claims-first methodology - evaluating plans based on what actually happens when a claim is filed, not on marketing brochures. The company's framing: "Invest 1% to protect the other 99%."

Core values

- Trust First	"We treat your family's finances like our own. If we wouldn't choose it for our parents or children, we won't recommend it to you."

Simplicity in Action Cut the jargon. Give clear, executable advice families can act on today.

- No Sales. No Spam.	No product-pushing, no target-chasing, no pressure. Strict zero-spam policy on calls, emails, and WhatsApp.
- Built for Long Term	Discipline, consistency, and long-term wealth creation - not short-term schemes.

- Free from Noise In a world of conflicting advice, stay focused on what truly matters: goals, family, and financial peace of mind.
