The article follows the journey of Vishnu Chundi and AasaanWill since its inception in 2022. after a personal tragedy underscored the scale of the problem. AasaanWill has raised a few million dollars from investors including Tim Draper (Elon Musk’s early backer), Techstars, BITS Pilani alumni, and senior CXOs. Since launch, it has served over 25,000 families across 120 Indian cities and has begun supporting Non-Resident Indians in five continents.

For decades, Indians have been excellent at building wealth — buying homes, investing in mutual funds, creating businesses. But when it comes to protecting and passing on that wealth, we’ve often left it to chance.

Over $60 billion of unclaimed wealth (across fixed deposits, mutual funds, insurance policies etc., excluding real estate) 12+ million inheritance-related cases are pending in Indian courts. Countless families remain stuck in emotional and financial uncertainty — simply because there’s no Will.

That’s the problem AasaanWill set out to solve — by making Will writing simple, affordable, and accessible to every Indian.

With the right mix of technology, legal expertise, and empathy, we’re ensuring that every family’s legacy is protected — without confusion, conflict, or courtrooms.

Because wealth creation is important, but wealth preservation is the real legacy.
