Namaste! I am Shivam Modanval, the founder of TheFrugalAdvisorCo.
Our Roots and Vision
The foundation of TheFrugalAdvisorCo was laid in 2024 in the historic city of Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. After spending over 6 years in the financial heart of India—specializing in Risk Management at Home Credit and serving as a Credit Report Analyst at Paisabazaar—our founder realized that people in Tier 2, Tier 3 cities, and villages were often left behind or misled by complex financial jargon.
We spent 2024 building our partnerships and refining our mission: to bring professional-grade financial guidance to every doorstep in our region.
Founded by a Google-certified digital professional to ensure a smooth, modern experience.
A Promise from Our Founder
"In a world of "instant approvals" and hidden charges, we choose to stay realistic and honest. We won't promise you a loan if your eligibility doesn't match, and we won't suggest an insurance policy that you don't need."
Why We Started TheFrugalAdvisorCo
Many people fear hidden charges, high interest rates, or getting rejected because they don't understand their CIBIL report. We founded this company to bridge that gap
