About Us

Our Story

For nearly 30 years, we have been helping salaried people, rich individuals, NRIs, small & medium business owners, big private & public corporations, trusts, and foreign institutional investors grow their wealth while guiding them to invest better. We are honored and proud that our investors are diverse, and this motivates us to manage money with care and responsibility while following the right principles.

DSP’s 160 year+ history and foundations lie in the simple belief that conducting business with unwavering ethics & integrity needs to be the highest priority at all times, even above the firm’s bottom line.

Our Values

Guiding Success: Almost three decades of building confident futures by helping investors make better investing decisions.

Spirituality

Leading from within

Connect to your inner self - your soul, your conscience. Like a child, it is pure, honest, and uncorrupted. Through practices like meditation, breathwork, and reflection, we return to this inner alignment.

Integrity

Always do what is right

Do what’s right for our customers, stakeholders, each other as well as the entire ecosystem- not just in outcomes, but in intent. Integrity means putting your client first with honesty and fairness, and extending the same respect to our partners, vendors, and colleagues.

Community

Think beyond yourself

We are here to serve, not just to succeed. Our responsibility extends to the lives we touch - especially those with lesser means. At DSP, community is not a checkbox, it’s a calling.

Innovation

Improve, relentlessly

Challenge the status quo. Look for a better way, every day. Innovation means improving processes, removing friction, and questioning norms.

Tech-Forward

Embrace the future

Be curious. Be bold. Be digital. Technology is an enabler. It empowers us to do more, with less.

Leadership Team

We have a team of some of the most talented professionals in the industry, who aim to deliver outstanding results through cutting-edge technology while following core principles.
