Lighthouse Canton launches wealth management service

Singapore-headquartered investment firm Lighthouse Canton has launched Global Indian, its dedicated wealth management platform serving non-resident Indians and overseas investors whose financial affairs span multiple jurisdictions.

The platform is the first expression of a broader ambition: to build the definitive cross-border wealth institution for globally mobile communities, wherever in the world they live.

The Indian diaspora, estimated at approximately 35 million individuals, is the largest in the world.

Remittances to India, according to the Reserve Bank of India data, reached a record US$135 billion in FY2024-25, while NRI deposits exceeded US$164 billion as of March 2025.

Despite the scale of this capital, the wealth of most NRI families remains structurally fragmented: banking relationships are maintained in the country of residence, custody arrangements span multiple geographies, and India-focused investments are frequently managed by a separate set of advisors.

The Global Indian platform provides consolidated multi-jurisdictional reporting, cross-border wealth structuring, and a single advisory relationship encompassing both international and India-domiciled holdings, together with management of the attendant tax and regulatory requirements.

It serves both directions of the India capital corridor, providing NRIs and international investors access to Indian markets through the organization’s regulated entities in India and at GIFT City IFSC, operating under IFSCA regulation, which facilitates local innovation and growth.

Indian resident investors are offered global diversification through the Liberalised Remittance Scheme and GIFT City frameworks.

In conjunction with the launch, the investment firm has introduced a Systematic Global Equities Fund domiciled in GIFT City, offering Indian investors a tax-efficient, regulated avenue to participate in global equity markets.

Global Indian integrates Lighthouse Canton’s regulated entities in India and GIFT City with its international platform across Singapore, Dubai, and the United Kingdom.

The offering is supported by the Keenai wealth technology platform, which provides portfolio analytics, lifecycle management, consolidated multi-market report, and access to a digital investment marketplace.

“NRI families frequently hold substantial wealth that is diminished in practice by fragmentation, as no single institution is accountable for the complete picture,” says Sumegh Bhatia, Lighthouse Canton’s CEO for India and global Indian.

Global Indian has been designed so that a family resident in Dubai or London, with assets in Mumbai and Singapore, engages with one team, one consolidated view of its wealth, and one coherent set of decisions.
