The round had to be reduced in size, by about $30-80 million, as talks between Alpha Wave and Dhan did not materialise, sources said. Moneycontrol was first to report on Dhan turning a unicorn back in July 2024.
For Dhan, the new round will be its largest since its inception in 2021 and even the company’s valuation will increase significantly from around $150 million to a staggering $1.2-1.5 billion.
With this acquisition, Raise aims to strengthen its investment and wealth stack by enabling investors and traders to learn about markets via Valuationary’s courses.
Raise will use this investment to grow Dhan’s product, engineering, operations & customer experience teams, besides launching another product.
Users will be able to trade directly through TradingView charts in equity, options and futures for indices, equity, commodity and currency, Dhan has said
With the acquisition of broking firm Moneylicious Securities, Raise has the licences required to start an investment platform. The company is looking to launch an investment app for traders and long-term investors by the end of 2021.
