Overall, INDmoney appears to be a popular choice for users seeking a comprehensive financial management tool, particularly for those interested in US stock investing. However, concerns about data privacy, customer support, and occasional technical issues are notable drawbacks mentioned by users across various platforms.
For young, tech-savvy Indian professionals who want to simplify their financial management and grow their wealth, INDmoney is an all-in-one super finance app that provides comprehensive tracking, investing, and wealth management tools in a single, user-friendly platform.
Active User = Someone who has invested at least once per month or has actively linked at least one investment asset per month.
The natural frequency of INDmoney is Monthly - Why? Considering salaried professionals as the primary target segment(all ICPs), the need to invest/track would naturally be once a month around the time when the salary is credited (Use case of active investments or tracking passive investments).
Engagement framework / How to target - Breadth is the appropriate framework for INDmoney since the more the users engage with a product feature that simplifies investment decision-making for them > The more confidence they will get in making their next investment move >In turn, they will invest more in one or multiple asset classes via the app (CVP) > Increased user engagement & revenue for INDmoney 💰
🎯WHO TO TARGET - Basis use-case vs frequency framework, we can say that active investors can be segmented into core, power & casual users as follows:
Parameter | Casual 😏 | Core 👌 | Power 💪 |
---|---|---|---|
Natural Frequency | 1/Month | 2-4/Month | >1/Week |
OR | |||
CVP being utilised <> Commitment with the product in terms of money being distributed across different assets | Invested in 1 instrument/Using only tracking features | Invested in 2 instruments + using tracking features | Invested in >2 instruments + using tracking features |
Level of engagement | Low | Med | High |
🙅 Not considering MONEY as a parameter here since it depends on the investment capacity of an individual > A casual user can be investing Rs.1 lakh per month only on Mutual funds once a month vs a power user can be actively investing ~50k but diversified their investments in different assets across US stocks, MF, deposits etc. |
