Built Arthavi — now at 500+ users (still 100% organic)
Hey everyone 👋
About a month ago, I posted here when my small side project Arthavi had just 38 users.
Quick update: it just crossed 500+ users, all from organic traffic (mostly Google) — still no ads, no paid marketing.
The problem I’m trying to solve is still the same:
Tracking investments in India is fragmented — mutual funds in CAS emails, stocks in brokers, everything else in spreadsheets.
So I built Arthavi to keep things simple:
• Track stocks + mutual funds in one place
• Import CAS (CAMS/KFintech)
• Ask basic questions about your portfolio (AI layer)
• No demat linking, no ads
What I’ve learned so far (more important than the number):
• People care more about clarity than “advanced analytics”
• Onboarding friction kills usage faster than anything
• “Privacy-first” matters, but only after trust is built
Still early, still rough in many places, but getting real usage now.
Would love honest feedback again:
• What do you currently use to track investments?
• What’s still broken or annoying there?
• What would make you switch to a new tool?
Happy to share the link if anyone wants to try it.
