"Establishing Wright Research was fuelled by my deep-seated belief in the transformative power of quant finance," Sonam shares. "I recognised a significant gap in the Indian market for data-driven investment solutions accessible to all." With a background rich in quantitative finance and algorithmic trading, Sonam's vision was to democratise sophisticated investment strategies through technology, making them available to investors of all sizes.

"As a woman founder in the predominantly male-dominated finance sector, the journey has been both challenging and enlightening," Sonam reflects. "I’ve encountered scepticism and biases, which have tested my resolve." However, these challenges have only strengthened Sonam's determination to succeed. They've shaped her entrepreneurial journey, fostering resilience and a commitment to creating an inclusive environment at Wright Research.
