About Paasa
Paasa helps wealthy Indians invest in global equities - without middlemen, hidden fees, or paperwork. While high-net-worths in India often have international expenses from children's education to healthcare, most still save in INR, a currency that depreciates ~2–5% per year against the USD. Why? - Broken outward remittance process - Fear of making mistakes in tax or compliance - Paper-heavy onboarding processes of international brokers - Lack of trustworthy guidance Paasa offers a mobile app that enables Indians to trade worldwide, invest via advisory, and automate every cross-border tax filing.
