Mumbai, August 03, 2021.
FinTech platform Angel Broking
has unveiled its new identity Angel One, a ‘Digital First’ brand that will
serve all financial needs of its clients, including stock broking services. In
its new avatar, the umbrella brand will encompass every existing and future
business unit of the entity.
Speaking on the unveiling of Angel One, Mr. Prabhakar Tiwari, Chief Growth Officer, Angel Broking Ltd said,
“Our goal is to position Angel One as a leading FinTech entity and present
ourselves in a contemporary, dynamic, tech avatar to build a strong connect
with the new-age GenZ and Millennial Indian investors.”
Angel One is an innovative, and
empowering platform that easily resonates with the Gen-Z and millennials,
including those from tier 2 and 3 cities. The transformation is a fusion of the
company’s brand legacy and ambitions, as the company transcends from a broking
house to a ‘one-solution’ platform for every financial need – ranging from
mutual funds to insurance, loans and others.
Even though the corporate entity name will remain Angel Broking
Limited, the consumer-facing master brand will now be called ‘Angel One’. The
changes will be seen across all Angel Broking platforms and touchpoints, both
external and internal. To fully live up to the ambition of being a
digital-first brand, its
platforms across the web and app are constantly being updated.
Incorporated in 1996 as a
traditional broker, Angel Broking shifted focus to extensively using Artificial
Intelligence and Machine Learning as it transitioned into a fully digital
platform by 2019. It added state-of-the-art solutions like ARQ Prime, Angel BEE, Smart Store,
Smart Money, etc. It introduced a simplified pricing structure of zero
brokerage on delivery trades and a nominal Rs. 20 per order for intraday,
futures & options, currency and commodity under its iTrade Prime Plan. As Angel Broking has evolved the
digital experience it offers, its open-architecture approach led to several
third-party tie-ups, including Vested, small case, Sensibull, and Streak.
Mr. Narayan
Gangadhar, Chief Executive Officer, Angel Broking Ltd, said, “We have
witnessed a growth in revenues after digital transition with our tech-led
platforms. We are also in the process of building more products and services,
using our deep technology skills, that will widen the scope of offerings to our
clients. To effectively communicate this to our clients, we are repositioning
ourselves as Angel One.”
Angel Broking is confident about
the success of its new positioning, based on the successful transitions done in
the past. At present, the company has more than 5 million clients spread across
98% of India’s
pin codes, i.e. 18,874 locations. In Q1 FY22, it recorded the highest gross revenue in a quarter at Rs
4,745 million.
