Devang Shah founded Right Returns, one of India’s first Financial Planning practices, in June of 2000. He is a Cost Accountant, a CFPCM and an MBA from IIM Ahmedabad. He has chaired the Global Advisory Council of the FPA, USA. He has served as an advisor to FPSB India as well as been the member of their very first Examination and Certification Committee (FPSB India grants the CFP certification in India). He was the first CFP to be licensed across the US & India in 2005. He surrendered the US certification in 2022 to focus exclusively in the India practice. He has also served on the Capital Markets Committee of the Indian Merchants Chamber.
His belief is that unless good quality, genuine financial advice is made available to individuals, money will continue to be a cause of stress instead of freedom for many of us. He doesn’t see the barrage of asset-gathering professionals as the role model for Right Returns. Devang, along with his colleagues, are leading Right Returns with a vision of delivering financial advice, which is beyond money management. Advice that is exceptionally crucial for our financial well-being and prosperity, than the illusionary chase of return maximisation.
Devang believes that the context is at least as important as the content, if not more. Seeing the whole picture is essential to learning the truth. Else we are one of the six blind men with the elephant.
Running, cycling, and meditation are among Devang’s favourite activities.
