Lighthouse Canton, a global investment institution headquartered in Singapore, has launched Global Indian, a dedicated wealth management platform serving non-resident Indians (NRIs) and overseas investors whose financial affairs span multiple jurisdictions.

The platform serves both directions of the India capital corridor. NRIs and international investors are provided access to Indian markets through the organisation’s regulated entities in India and at GIFT City IFSC, operating under IFSCA regulation. Indian resident investors are offered global diversification through the Liberalised Remittance Scheme and GIFT City frameworks.

In conjunction with the launch, Lighthouse Canton has introduced a Systematic Global Equities fund domiciled in GIFT City, offering Indian investors a tax-efficient, regulated avenue to participate in global equity markets.

The wealth of most NRI families remains structurally fragmented: banking relationships are maintained in the country of residence, custody arrangements span multiple geographies, and India-focused investments are frequently managed by a separate set of advisors, according to Lighthouse Canton. These arrangements seldom operate as a unified portfolio, and the burden of coordination falls on the family itself.

“NRI families frequently hold substantial wealth that is diminished in practice by fragmentation, as no single institution is accountable for the complete picture,” said Sumegh Bhatia, managing director and chief executive officer – India and Global Indian, Lighthouse Canton, who leads the business.

“Global Indian has been designed so that a family resident in Dubai or London, with assets in Mumbai and Singapore, engages with one team, one consolidated view of its wealth, and one coherent set of decisions.”

Lighthouse Canton employs experienced professionals across its offices in Singapore, Dubai, India, and London, and currently oversee over $6bn worth of assets under management (as of 31st March 2026).

Alongside Bhatia, Global Indian is led by Sunil Garg and Abhay Laijawala (global and India chief investment officers), Sanket Sinha (MD and CEO, global asset management), Prashant Tandon (MD and CEO-UAE), and Gurjeet Sohi (MD and head wealth management, India).
