OUR STORY
Pingale Financial Services began in 1993 in a small office above a chemist in Pune. Vasant Pingale, then a recently-retired bank manager, decided his neighbours deserved better financial advice than the city offered.
Over three decades it has grown — slowly, deliberately — into a 42-person practice serving 8,400 families across Pune, Mumbai and Bengaluru, with sister advisors in Dubai and Singapore for NRI clients.
The first principle hasn't changed: advise the family, not the product. We still won't take on a family we cannot meet in person at least once a year.

How we work
Five steps to clarity.
We listen
A 45-minute call — no products, no pressure. We learn about your family, your income, your goals, and what keeps you up at night.
We audit
We review what you already have — existing insurance, investments, loans, tax structure. Most clients find gaps or overpayments in this step.
We plan
A written financial plan covering your goals, timelines, suggested vehicles, and projected outcomes. You leave with a document, not a brochure.
We execute
Forms, KYC, fund selection, policy issuance — all handled. You review and approve. We do the paperwork.
We stay
Quarterly reviews. Annual rebalancing. A phone call when markets crash or life changes. We're not done after the first sale.
What we believe
Six convictions, held loosely.
Advise the family
We sell no product. We are paid on disclosed commissions and retainers, with full audit trails.
Write the plan
Every relationship begins with a written plan. Reviewed quarterly. Updated annually.
Protect first, grow second
Term + health cover precedes any equity allocation. Without exception.
Boring beats brilliant
Index, large-cap and balanced funds form 70% of most portfolios. Always have.
Tax is design
Tax-efficiency is an architectural decision, not an annual scramble.
Three-generation thinking
We plan across yours, your children's, and their children's horizons.
Our people
The desks behind the plan.
Results matter.
People remember results.
Every story below is a real outcome from a real client. No composite examples. No hypothetical returns.
When my husband passed, I didn't know where to start. Pingale's team handled every document, every call, every follow-up. I didn't have to fight the insurer. They fought for me. The claim was settled in nine days. Nine days. I have never forgotten that.
