Our partnership with upGrowth gives us a focused operator team to compound organic acquisition without the overhead of building a large in-house digital marketing function.” – Adrija Das, DGM Marketing, Chola Securities 

“Indian retail investing has crossed a threshold where AI-led search and regional-language video drive more discovery decisions than traditional channels. Our work with Chola Securities is about engineering compounded organic growth for those new discovery surfaces, not buying short-term traffic,” said Amol Ghemud, Chief Growth Officer, upGrowth Digital LLP.

The engagement is one of two recent appointments for upGrowth in regulated financial and healthcare verticals, where AI search visibility and organic acquisition compound have become measurable boardroom metrics.
