What are the main areas of operation of your company?

Share Samadhan started its operation with a single motive of “Mission Money Back” for the investor or their family to recover their hard earned money or investment which got lost / forgotten / blocked or scattered in any asset class. With growing income inequalities, our country is having huge wealth which belongs to the family of deceased which has not been claimed by their family who is just roaming around from pillar to post and going through turbulent time of financial mess due to the demise of their earning member.

How, according to you, your organization is contributing to achieving any one or more Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?

"Income inequality is a global problem that requires global solutions. This involves improving the regulation and monitoring of financial markets and institutions".

In India the value of investment papers which are just lying in physical paper including the value of unclaimed investment is more than USD 100 bn. We have cases where we have helped families where their parents have made small investment which was not being communicated to their family and due to some contingency those investment remained unclaimed since so many years. Small some of investment has risen to huge investment . In India the value of Unclaimed PF is around Rs 50,000 crore and majority of this sum belongs to bottom of the pyramid, lower wage earners.
