At Tax4wealth, we create verified content through practising professionals who are experts in the financial field. Our motive is to simplify the financial planning of people so they can manage taxes and compliance in a simple and smart way.
We have started Tax4wealth by keeping all financial needs in mind from salary individuals to MSME and more. GST still is a thing that is difficult to understand by many. Through our content and videos we made
We are following a 360-degree approach to display our content that should be easily understandable. We are available on OTT, Google plays store and the web. In this unprecedented time, many professionals lost their jobs or got a pay cut. We thought to create an amalgamation where both can be benefited from achieving financial goals. We have already delivered more than 1000 free educational videos related to tax, stock market, mutual funds, GST etc. on our platforms with the help of various recognized professionals.

We are propelled with the idea of skilling India by disrupting the traditional way of textbook teaching and reaching everyone beyond the boundary of cities and countries with the help of enabling technology.
What is the funding status and monetization model?
We have received funding and tech support from VisionIAS which is a leading online IAS coaching centre in India.

With this association, we are aiming to become the biggest content creators in our domain. We are targeting 200 plus courses in the next 8 to 10 months.
What challenges are you facing in running your business?
Well, any new business setup in its initial stage faces difficulties and so did we. From convincing professionals to make videos without paying them was one of the challenge for us. As we have more than enough time to start the process. Slow but steady wins the race, so we did. Today, we are able to pay our professionals and can add more videos for our viewers.
How do you look at expansion?
We are aiming to become the biggest content creators in our domain. We are targeting 200 plus courses in the next 8 to 10 months.

We are also planning to open small studios for our partners all across major cities in India.
What has been the biggest learning’s so far?
Crisis creates opportunity. It is apt for us. Have we ever think about online learnings? We were watching videos but never came across such an opportunity. Obviously! Video content was available but not for all the viewers. Lockdown has pushed us towards technology so we can be future-ready. I take this pandemic as a learning for all. Online learning was an absolutely new mode of learning for all of us. But, we are happy that we are able to adapt ourselves to the new scenario and learning. With the help of technology, e-learning is becoming a part and parcel of our education system. We can say that the present educational system is no longer equal to the traditional classroom setup. That’s where edtech comes in.
What is the market size and opportunity? According to KPMG’s Online education in India: 2021 report, by 2021, the industry could be worth $1.96 Billion with CAGR 52%.
