Enrich Money Becomes India’s First Stock Broker to Launch Rs. 10 SIP’s on ONDC – Enabled ORCA App

Enrich Money, a SEBI-registered online trading and wealth-tech platform, has become the first distributor in India to launch mutual fund SIPs starting at just Rs. 10 on its ORCA App. Powered by the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), this pioneering initiative brings mutual fund investing within reach of millions, especially in Tier-2/Tier-3 cities and among first-time investors.

Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money

The ONDC Network aims to reshape mutual fund distribution by enabling seamless connectivity between Asset Management Companies (AMCs) and mutual fund distributors. ONDC Integration ensures seamless, secure, and cost-effective access to mutual funds across platforms, aligning with SEBI’s standards for transparency, interoperability and investor convenience.

Inspired by UPI’s mass adoption, Enrich Money’s entry into mutual funds prioritises accessibility, ease of use, and ultra-low entry barriers to democratise investing for every Indian. A Rs. 10 minimum SIP opens the doors for wider participation from college students and gig-economy workers to rural households. With 100% digital onboarding through Aadhaar and PAN, investors can get started in just five minutes, without paperwork.

Enrich Money aims to onboard over one million new mutual fund investors in the next 12 months, with the majority expected from Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities.

“We may have entered late, but we’re doing so with a fully integrated, modern stack built for accessibility, control, and transparency. Unlike other platforms that limit Rs. 10 SIP’s to their own funds, Enrich Money lets you start investing with just Rs. 10 across multiple AMC’s via ONDC integration,” said Ponmudi R, CEO, Enrich Money. “Our vision is to make investing as simple and universal as sending money via UPI so that every Indian, regardless of income or location, can start building wealth. With a simple UPI mandate, investors can start small and gradually build the habit of saving and investing, even if they are first-timers from smaller towns. SIPs can be paused, skipped, or changed anytime, making them flexible enough to suit pocket money, daily wages, or small-business cash flows,” he added.

The ORCA platform has already integrated 16 leading AMCs, offering around 745 mutual fund schemes across categories including Equity, Debt, Hybrid, Index, Thematic, Sectoral, Multi-cap, Flexi-cap, ELSS, Funds of Funds, Commodity, and Solution-oriented funds (Children & Retirement). Investors can choose funds that best align with their risk-return profiles and life goals. Enrich Money also plans to add 30+ more AMCs to ORCA Mobile and Web platforms in the coming months.

One App, Many Assets
The ORCA App provides a single gateway to multiple asset classes, including Mutual Funds (ONDC-enabled, regular plans), Stocks, ETFs, Bonds, IPOs, Commodities, Currency Derivatives, and Equity & Equity derivatives.

Users also get free research tools such as screeners (sector, corporate actions, news), index dashboards, open interest/PCR data, and options analytics with Greeks and payoff graphs.

Trust & Transparency

As a SEBI-registered broker sourcing data directly from exchanges, Enrich Money ensures regulatory compliance, transparency, and real-time accuracy. It also runs financial literacy programmes to help new investors build confidence in the markets.

With its first-of-its-kind Rs. 10 SIP offering, combined with multi-asset access, Enrich Money is positioning ORCA as a one-stop wealth-building destination for India’s next wave of retail investors.

About Enrich Money
Enrich Money is a SEBI-registered wealth-tech platform dedicated to simplifying investing and trading. The ORCA App combines low-cost access, advanced analytics, and seamless execution to empower retail investors across India. With Rs. 10 SIPs and ONDC-enabled access, Enrich Money is redefining wealth creation by fostering disciplined investment habits for India’s next generation of investors.

Viasat Inc., a global leader in satellite communications, is thrilled to introduce the India edition of the Viasat: Space for Good 2025 initiative, a groundbreaking global STEM innovation challenge for students. Following the grand success in the US and UK, Viasat has collaborated with BSNL and government agencies for the India edition, which have been key to the program’s success. The India finalist event will take place in New Delhi on September 26th, featuring university-level students.

The initiative has received more than 9,000 applications globally and is ready for the first-ever Viasat Space for Good Challenge in India. The Challenge in India sparked a notable increase in interest, resulting in the selection of eight exceptional finalists from within the country after Phases 1 and 2.

The India finalists bring a remarkable diversity of innovative ideas and personal stories, reflecting the depth of talent and creativity in the country’s STEM community. Their groundbreaking ideas include orbital manufacturing hubs, sustainable asteroid resource mining, electromagnetic satellite propulsion, intelligent space debris tracking, plasma-based communication systems, and emergency satellite-based SOS networks.

Gautam Sharma, Managing Director of India at Viasat said, “India is rapidly emerging as one of the world’s top space nations, with a thriving ecosystem of innovators, researchers and private startups driving its momentum. For Viasat, India is a key region, not only because of its growing role in global space technology, but also because of the unmatched talent and creativity of its young people.

Following the success of the 2024 Space for Good event, this year’s challenge encompasses three distinct tracks across the United States, United Kingdom, and India, with a focus on the development of sustainable space technology to enhance life on Earth. The challenge is designed to educate, inspire and empower the next generation of innovators to think critically about space sustainability and its impact on our planet.

The challenge consists of three stages: in phase one, students begin by articulating their initial concept, in phase two, they refine it with a digital entry and ultimately delivering a 30-minute pitch to industry leaders who will evaluate the top concept using a rubric that takes into account technical, design and policy aspects, as well as the feasibility of implementation. As a part of phase 3 (the finals), each finalist has been paired with a Viasat employee in India to mentor them leading up to the finals. The employee will continue to mentor finalists up to six months following the event. Winners of the final round will receive university scholarships, furthering their education and potential contributions to the field of space technology.

This unique experience invites travellers to journey through Tokyo’s dynamic streetscape, where time-honoured traditions blend seamlessly with modern creativity.

At One Night in Toki-O, travellers can engage hands-on with the traditional Japanese art of Hanko stamping, and personalising custom screen-printed tote bags that serve as lasting mementos.

One Night in Toki-O offers travellers a rare opportunity to experience the duality of Japan, where history and modernity come together in perfect harmony.

The Spirit of Toki
At the heart of the experience is Toki, a pioneering Japanese spirit that challenges convention. A harmonious blend of Yamazaki and Hakushu Single Malts with Chita Single Grain, Toki is known for its silky texture, fresh character, and a flavour profile that balances basil, green apple, and honey on the nose with a palate of grapefruit, green grapes, and peppermint.

About Toki™ Suntory
Toki™, meaning ‘time’, is a concept that is deeply woven into the Japanese way of life – a concept rich in meaning the world over, yet especially in Japan, where regard for convention and re-evaluation starts an amazing inventive vitality. The House of Suntory’s fourth Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo was inspired to create a blend that is both groundbreaking and timeless, leading him to take a fresh approach with Toki™. By bringing the grain component of the blend from the Chita distillery, where the heavy-type grain spirit is distilled only twice on column stills and is vanilla-rich with a sweet undertone in its unblended state. Shinji-san sourced the malt component from the Hakushu distillery, which produces light, fruity malt. The unique pairing of Hakushu American White Oak Cask malt spirit with Chita heavy-type grain spirit overturns the traditional hierarchy between malt and grain. These seemingly dissimilar but deeply accordant spirits, together with select Yamazaki malts for additional depth and complexity give rise to the exquisite, silky taste, distinctive character and bold innovation of the blended Toki™ Suntory. This year, Toki™ Suntory has been awarded Gold in the Tasting Awards – Japanese spirits category at the International Spirits Challenge 2024. This esteemed recognition reaffirms Toki™ Suntory’s status as a distinguished spirit in its category, marking yet another significant milestone among the more than 20 international awards it has received.

About House of Suntory
Since 1923, Suntory has been renowned as the pioneer of Japanese spirits for its House of Master Blenders and for their Art of Blending. Founder Shinjiro Torii built Japan’s first malt distillery in Yamazaki, and the Suntory legacy continued with Torii’s son and Suntory’s second Master Blender, Keizo Saji, who continued to establish distilleries including the Hakushu distillery. As the generations of Suntory’s master blenders carry on, Suntory remains committed to heritage and innovation. The House of Suntory has been named four-time Distiller of the Year at the International Spirits Challenge in London, UK (2010, 2012, 2013, 2014). Suntory Whiskies are subtle, refined and complex. The portfolio includes two single malt whiskies: Yamazaki-Japan’s number one single malt, multi-layered and profound, and Hakushu-verdant, fresh, and delicately smoky; and two blends: the noble blend, Hibiki-Japan’s most highly awarded blended spirit and Suntory Toki™. The House of Suntory portfolio also offers Roku and Haku. Created from Japanese ingredients by the master artisans at the House of Suntory, Roku and Haku represent the nature and spirit of Japan. This year, the House of Suntory celebrates one hundred years of spirit innovation-a major milestone not only for the brand’s history but for Japanese spirits culture as a whole.

Beegru Launches ‘Dead Leads Graveyard’ Campaign – A Bold Call to End Wasted Marketing Spend on False Prospects

Beegru, a global AI-powered proptech growth engine for real estate, unveiled its disruptive campaign, “The Dead Leads Graveyard“, at the Realty Expo in Bengaluru on 5th September 2025. The campaign draws attention to one of the industry’s most pressing challenges where crores of rupees are being spent on leads that fail to convert. By symbolising these losses through the concept of a “graveyard,” the initiative underscores how unqualified campaigns, inflated sales costs and relentless follow-ups continue to drain marketing budgets while delivering little measurable return. Every year, real estate companies invest heavily in generating inquiries, yet a significant share ends up as wasted potential. With “The Dead Leads Graveyard,” Beegru calls on industry leaders to confront a critical question: “How much of their money already lies in the graveyard of dead leads”

  • Continuous Optimisation: AI-driven adjustments

  • Transparent Dashboard: Real-time reporting

Speaking at the Expo Kin Shreeraj Reddy, Founder & CEO, Beegru said, “The PropTech industry is ripe for transformation. The current property marketplaces are outdated and do not serve the needs of the realtors or the property seekers effectively. They flood realtors with unqualified leads resulting in excessive manual effort to sift through them. They also monetize users private information which erodes trust. Further he added, “At Beegru, we’re fixing this broken ecosystem with an AI-driven platform that delivers verified, high-quality leads to builders, landowners, and realtors, without sacrificing user privacy. Our inclusive & global solution, with trust and innovation at its core, fosters authentic connections and empowers every stakeholder to succeed.”

The campaign underscores Beegru’s commitment to data privacy, security and trust. With exclusivity of leads, enterprise-grade security and transparency, Beegru delivers one clear message “Stop paying for funerals, start paying for growth”.
