- Backed by prominent investors such as Tiger Global and Arkam Ventures, Jar has gained nationwide recognition with over 20 million users, offering an intuitive and trustworthy platform for saving and investing in gold
Bengaluru: Jar, an innovative wealth tech platform, is revolutionizing savings and investments for its users, through its user-friendly interface and emphasis on simplicity and convenience. Eliminating the hassle involved in one-time investments of huge funds, Jar’s daily savings allows users, especially those from the working population, to accumulate their savings gradually, over a period, in a seamless manner.
Jar has experienced a steady growth trajectory from 6 million users in FY22, to more 20 million users at present, a testament to its increasing popularity and reliance among users. Through its modernized concept of a piggy bank, the app is playing a major role in removing various hurdles in the landscape of savings and investments. Retaining the simplicity of a piggy bank concept, Jar is enabling users to develop financial stability and enjoy the benefits of gold savings.
"At Jar, we have two major goals: to simplify savings and investments for all users and fostering financial awareness. To simplify the process and make it accessible for all users, we leverage UPI 2.0 and incorporate features like automated round-offs. This allows users to make meaningful investments in their daily transactions," said Nishchay AG, Founder and CEO, Jar. "Through platforms like YouTube, social media, and ads, we have managed to reach millions of users across the country and build trust as they begin their savings journey. In fact, through our YouTube channel, we have curated a special playlist titled 'Stories of Change' to highlight customer journeys and showcase how micro-investments have transformed their financial well-being."
For Prabhakar, an auto-rickshaw driver from Karnataka, Jar has been instrumental in helping him build financial resilience. With a long-standing dream of buying a gold ornament, he leveraged Jar’s incremental savings model, beginning with 0.1mg of gold and steadily building his funds to achieve his goal. Highlighting the importance of cultivating a consistent savings habit, he says, “Given a lack of a financial safety net, I realized that I had to rely on my own savings. This motivated me to redirect my spending from impulse purchases towards meaningful investments that would help me fulfill my dream of buying a gold ornament, which would have remained stagnant otherwise.”
Through its innovative approach to micro-savings, Jar is resonating with users across Karnataka, offering a straightforward path to achieving long-term financial goals. Guided by a customer-first philosophy and cutting-edge features, Jar is empowering users across India to secure their future while staying aligned with their financial aspirations.
