Why GrowCape

Intelligence built in, not bolted on

One source, not many

Aggregators stitch several data sources together, and every reconciliation and live feed pays the price. GrowCape runs on one, so the data stays live and there is almost nothing left to reconcile.

Built to scale

Because the AI works from one clean source, new business models and regulatory changes are quick to take on. The platform grows with you instead of holding you back.

Single source of truth. One clean, unified set of data underneath everything. No separate RTA and fund accounting systems, and nothing typed in twice.

Data security

Every fund manager's data sits in its own database, and vendor logins are encrypted.

Privacy by Design

Built with India's DPDP Act in mind, with investor consent captured and kept on record.

PII protected

Personal details are shown only to the roles that need them, and account numbers are masked.

In practice

From firefight to signed off

One quarter-end, two very different evenings, and one source of truth underneath.

9:47 PMQuarter-end, the old way
  • Operations is reconciling six spreadsheets by hand
  • Compliance is checking the filing cell by cell
  • Investors are emailing to chase their capital call
  • The fund manager is stuck answering status messages

Manual reporting is not just slow. It carries real regulatory risk.

4:30 PMSigned off on GrowCape
  • Operations takes NAV straight from the books
  • Compliance has it approved by two people and ready for audit
  • Investors and partners are notified as it happens
  • The fund manager is back on the next deal

Less time on operations, more time deploying capital and finding returns.

Integrated fund accounting

The fund's books, inside the platform

Operations and accounts usually live in separate systems and only meet at quarter-end. Here a payment and its journal entry are made together.

  • Recorded against the fundEvery entry names its fund, so a trial balance can be run for one fund on its own.
  • Posted from real transactionsContributions, allotments, fees, GST, stamp duty and redemptions post themselves, so the books and the unit register stay in step.
  • More than one currencyAn exchange rate on every line, balanced in the fund's base currency.
  • Easy to auditTrace any balance back to its entry, and the entry back to the transaction behind it.

  • KYC, CKYC and KRAFATCA and CRS at onboarding, CKYC, KRA and CERSAI, and video KYC with location checks.
  • A filing calendar with evidenceEach filing tracked to its due date and signed off by a named officer, with the acknowledgement kept alongside.
  • Separation of dutiesNAV is entered by one person and approved by another, with the approver's role on record.

Security and separation

Kept apart

Each fund manager has its own database and its own set of logins, so no data is shared between them.

Encrypted credentials

Payment and vendor logins are encrypted and stored with the fund manager they belong to.

Permissions you control

Who can do what is held as settings, so an admin can change it without a software release.

Separate audit logs

Platform and fund-manager audit logs are kept in different databases.
