India Initative is doing a great job at simplifying the German financial landscape for expats. I have learnt a lot from them and continue consulting with them on all things related to finance, taxes, investments etc. Arjun and Anubhav both have been very helpful and patient throughout.

It is a pleasure to know about this…

It is a pleasure to know about this service which was introduced to me by one of my friends. As an expat living in Germany it's very difficult to understand the economical structure and to manage money in terms of savings, investments etc. My spokesperson had been Arjun Parab from the start and i am happy to share that he has really guided me very well throughout the process. He has been receptive and understanding of my queries and has always helped me out with the utmost patience. It has never happened that I have asked him a query and he has not helped me out. Because of the excellent service I have also refereed many of my friends to him.

I would like to thank Arjun for his utmost pateince and time and india initiative to make things easy in terms of taxes, investments etc.for people living so far away from home.

Great and very helpful service…

I had the pleasure of having a consulting session with Arjun for several months, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I reached out, his professionalism and dedication to understanding my financial goals were evident. He took the time to listen to my concerns and provided tailored recommendations that aligned perfectly with my needs.

Throughout his session, communication was seamless. Arjun was always responsive to my emails and calls, ensuring I felt supported every step of the way. What impressed me the most was his depth of knowledge and expertise in navigating complex financial matters. He guided me through various investment options, explaining each in detail and helping me make informed decisions.

Not only did Arjun help me with investments, but he also provided valuable insights on tax planning and retirement strategies. Thanks to his guidance, I feel more confident about my financial future.

I highly recommend Arjun to anyone seeking personalized financial advice from a knowledgeable and trustworthy professional. His commitment to client satisfaction and exceptional service sets them apart in the industry. I look forward to recommending him to anyone looking for investments and tax optimization investments in Germany.

A good experience

As a non native in Germany, handling taxes and looking for apt investment options can be quite a task. I got in touch with India Initiative last year and the team has been quite supportive in walking me through these matters. Arjun and the team is always reachable. I appreciate how Arjun has given reasonable time in understanding my requirements and suggesting the right plans in the process. I would highly recommend their services.
