The deadline for dematerialisation for Indian unlisted startups is around the corner - 30th September 2024! So far no circulars on deadline extension have been officially released, so best to believe that these deadlines are still persistent. General behavior in the ecosystem we are seeing: - Many startups are now scrambling to get started (unfortunate, but expected). - Many had begun the process a few months ago (3-4 months back) and are unsure of the progress (haven't even gotten their ISINs created yet). - Those with ISINs issued are struggling to coordinate with their shareholders for Dematerialisation Request Form (DRF) submissions and share certificates. If you still haven't started the process so far or are struggling to collate the required information and documents, then reach out to us at www.myshareholding.com or drop me an email at - [email protected] With our automated and completely digital process, we will do all the required heavy lifting and give you the much-needed push.

When Gullak : Upto 16% p.a on Gold, a young YC startup, first approached us with their innovative savings app idea, we could never have foreseen the incredible journey that would unfold over the next ~2 years. In a world where spending is often gamified for instant gratification, the team at Gullak dared to innovate. By infusing joy and gratification into the act of saving, Gullak today is a beacon of financial wellness to millions of Indians. Helping them grow into an app with over 1M+ downloads has been one of our biggest triumphs at Parallel. But my favourite part of all of this is that today BFSI companies contact us, using Gullak's experience as a reference for what they want for their own products. An excellent testament to the power of design to transform behaviours and create lasting impact. #SavingsRevolution #Gullak

Go beyond the exchange: Our intuitive app lets you manage connections, nurture relationships, and discover valuable opportunities from professional people from 250+ Industries. Productive tools: Our app comes with most powerful business owner tools like Social greeting, Scan Paper cards and add product and service in your profile with enquiry buttondiscover professional people from 250+ Industries. The Surat crowd was awesome! They understood that the true value lies in the platform, not just the card itself. If you're looking to elevate your networking game, ditch the limitations of traditional cards and join the GridClub revolution!
