For Immediate Release, Pune, May 05, 2026: 1 Finance, India’s pioneering consumer financial institution focused on transparent and hyper-personalised financial planning, has launched its new Financial Planning Centre in Pune. This marks the company’s third centre after Thane and Hyderabad, reinforcing its mission to empower individuals with unbiased financial advice that prioritises client well-being over product sales. Designed as a client-first space, the Pune centre offers a calm, distraction-free environment with private consultation rooms, lounge-style seating, community areas, and digital planning tools to make financial conversations more approachable and less transactional. Clients also benefit from exclusive access to secure safe deposit lockers, combining financial planning with added security.
Unlike traditional advisory models, 1 Finance operates on a fee-only framework, ensuring it does not sell financial products or earn commissions. This eliminates bias and ensures recommendations are fully aligned with each client’s goals, needs, and financial personality. The centre provides comprehensive services under one roof, including investment planning, tax optimisation, insurance advisory, loan assistance, retirement planning, and estate structuring. Clients can access investment guidance across mutual funds, debt instruments, real estate, and alternative assets, along with ITR filing support, credit planning, and personalised budgeting frameworks.
Speaking on the launch, Manju Dhake, Partner at 1 Finance, highlighted Pune as a key market, noting the strong engagement from over 8,000 registered members even before the centre’s opening. She emphasised that the physical presence reflects the company’s commitment to accessibility, trust, and long-term relationships, with the goal of helping individuals achieve clarity, confidence, and true financial independence.
A key differentiator is MoneySign®, the company’s proprietary behavioural finance tool that assesses each client’s financial personality, life stage, and aspirations to deliver tailored strategies. Beyond one-time advice, clients receive ongoing guidance through regular reviews and adjustments as their circumstances evolve. The Pune centre will also act as a hub for financial literacy, hosting workshops, seminars, and community sessions, alongside offering access to India’s first ad-free personal finance magazine designed to simplify financial concepts and provide transparent, unbiased insights.
