Curious: Why focus on wealthfront for expats? Why not simply a wealthfront for India?

I lived in India until 2014—all the SIPs were shitty and ran old school software and UI. Maybe things have changed now, but 98% of India does not do any active investments other than Fixed and savings deposits.

There's been a lot of improvements since then. Checkout apps like ET Money, Groww, Zerodha Coin. It's really easy to start SIP in India and the tech is good and modern.

We think the market for Indian residents is fairly saturated, lot of upgrades in the last 5 years and already some products which do this. But NRIs/OCIs are still underserved
