The Founder

Two decades in private banking.

Rishiraj founded RISCH after more than two decades in private banking — most recently at Edelweiss Financial Services, and before that as a Senior Private Banker at ICICI Securities.

That career is why RISCH is built the way it is: risk understood first, in a documented and repeatable way, before a single recommendation is made.

About RISCH

Built from private banking.
Designed around the client.

RISCH was founded in 2014 by Rishiraj Maheshwari, after a career advising wealthy individuals and families at some of India’s best-known financial institutions.

Today, RISCH works with a select group of clients who want a more disciplined, personal approach to their wealth: fewer products, clearer reasoning, and one accountable relationship.

How We Work

Four principles.

Ability before willingness

Capacity sets the boundary. Willingness never overrides it.

Independence from product

No proprietary fund. Recommendations align to the client, not the shelf.

Disclosure before commitment

Worst case shown before a rupee is funded, not after.

Bounded deviation

Any override is recorded, justified, and signed by both parties.

Governance & Standing

Documented, structured, accountable.

Open Architecture

No proprietary product.

8-Point Diagnostic

Scored independently.

Bounded Deviation

Jointly signed, always.

Conflict Walls

Managed independently.
