Share India Partners With Ex-Angel One Chief To Expand Retail Footprint With Strategic Bet On Project Drone

In a noteworthy shift from corporate management to start-up leadership, fintech veteran Prabhakar Tiwari is gearing up to launch Project Drone, a new wealth-tech firm backed by Share India Securities Ltd (SISL) (NSE: SHAREINDIA, BSE: 540725). While final regulatory clearances are pending, the initiative is already being positioned to redefine how emerging and mass-affluent investors in India access wealth management.

Tiwari brings years of experience scaling digital fintech platforms, most recently as Chief Growth Officer at Angel One, and now he intends to fill persistent gaps in India's advice and investing ecosystem. His background also features senior roles at PayU, CEAT, and Marico, underscoring a consistent record of driving growth through digital transformation.

Project Drone plans to democratize advanced wealth-management services by using technology, behavioral finance insights, and vernacular-first design, ensuring that sophisticated financial tools reach investors in India's Tier 2, 3, and 4 cities.

Project Drone founder and chief executive Prabhakar Tiwari explains his vision this way: True disruption in fintech happens when we break down hurdles to access and understanding, not when we add another polished feature. He goes on to say, Our goal is a digital, trust-centred platform that serves investors outside big-city networks.

To support that ambition, Project Drone is forming a founding team of veterans from top fintech, wealth management, and tech companies, a move that signals its intent to build solid, institutional-grade capacity from the very start.

Share India Securities, a publicly listed financial services house with thirty years in the market and a current valuation of around Rs 23,000 crore, has pledged to back the new venture, pending the usual regulatory clearances. The alliance offers more than funding; it taps Share India's deep know-how in institutional market solutions, advanced tech infrastructure, and software development.

"Project Drone embodies my core belief that real fintech disruption comes from solving access and education barriers, not building flashy features." said Prabhakar Tiwari, Founder & CEO of Project Drone. "We're building a digital-first, trust-driven platform that empowers underserved investors by offering inclusive wealth solutions beyond metro-centric models. I'm excited to partner with Share India which has experience in institutional grade trading technology and in-house capabilities to accelerate this mission with speed, scale, and purpose."

Listed on both the NSE and BSE, Share India Securities is a tech-led financial services group that commands substantial market share across all major Indian exchanges. With average daily turnover exceeding Rs 12,000 crore in equity, derivatives, currency, and commodity segments, SISL now extends its institutional-grade trading engines, algorithmic solutions, and cutting-edge research resources to the expanding retail investor community.
