Tajinder Virk is a serial entrepreneur with a global record of building regulated businesses and technology platforms across fintech, healthtech, real estate and future-tech infrastructure.

Under his leadership, Finvasia has expanded across Europe, Africa, North America, Mauritius, Australia and the GCC. His platforms known for institutional-grade engineering, patented innovation and regulatory depth.
From his years of experience in the financial world, he recognized a gap between what investors truly need and what investment platforms often priorities in their offerings. This insight has led to the launch of a one-ofits- kind global investing platform, Dealing. It is built on the principles of access, transparency, credibility, and simplicity.
Dealing is a mobile-first platform for long-term investors who want access to opportunities beyond geographies, markets, and asset classes, catering to their need for wealth creation. Currently, dealing offers access to 30,000+ financial instruments across 10+ global markets, serving investors in 120+ countries, and operating under 30+ licenses and registrations. Investors can participate across stocks, ETFs, derivatives, and other global instruments, unlocking real diversification through a single account.
And as he says, this is just the beginning. As global markets evolve, Dealing will continue to expand with more assets, more markets, and more opportunities built for the future of investing.
As the Co-Founder and CEO of Finvasia Group, he leads a diverse portfolio of businesses that includes Dealing, Shoonya, Act Trader, Zulu Trade, Portfolios, Ethniq, GiniHealth, OneVault, among others.
BUILDING REGULATED PLATFORMS AT SCALE
At Finvasia, Tajinder has led a long-term, infrastructurefirst strategy: build trust through compliance, use technology to remove friction, and keep the unit economics durable. The group operates across trading and investing, banking and payments infrastructure, digital assets, health tech, real estate and sustainability-driven initiatives— designed to work with regulators and institutions rather than around them.
Across the ecosystem, the emphasis is on end-to-end ownership of core technology, consistent risk controls, and products that expand access without compromising governance. Finvasia’s platforms span global markets and multiasset trading, broker-neutral social trading, modern banking rails and cross-border corridors, regulated payments and digital asset services, and infrastructure for tokenization of real-world assets.
HEALTHTECH AND INNOVATION
Tajinder also leads Finvasia’s healthtech vertical, with a focus on clinically validated, food-based and herbal medicines rooted in Ayurveda and naturopathy. Ethniq’s hero product for fungal skin disease (Skin Revive) has demonstrated over 95% efficacy in clinical trials and has been granted a patent. Alongside this, the broader health stack includes preventive and longevity initiatives, genomics and personalised health, and an ecosystem integrating fitness, monitoring and wellness services.
CSR AND LONG-TERM SOCIETAL IMPACT
Beyond commercial outcomes, Tajinder has anchored the group’s public-interest agenda through Virk.org and the Vision 2050 platform, connecting Finvasia’s success to a long-term commitment to society. The CSR focus extends to clean drinking water, healthcare access, academic-industry collaboration, startup incubation, and youth-focused sports and education programmes, with Finvasia acting as the execution arm.
Finvasia’s CSR work includes school adoption and education support, youth development through sports sponsorships, and founder/innovation support through incubation and academic partnerships. The consistent thread is responsible capitalism: building durable institutions that improve access, affordability and resilience for communities over decades.
“Our job as founders is to build institutions that outlive us and remain useful to society.”
