Chandrima Das, Teleskop

Chandrima Das is a wealthtech entrepreneur in Singapore. Her career spans the evolution of robo-advisory and digital wealth. She founded an early robo called Bento, which she sold to Grab, and for a time ran Grab’s investment functions.

Today she’s back with a new startup, Teleskop, that aims to take wealthtech to a broader audience, with a B2C and B2B mixed model as well as new ambitions around identity, open data, and offline services.

Das speaks with DigFin‘s Jame DiBiasio about the history of wealthtech in Asia and her experience riding the evolution of the industry.
