I have known Mr Sreedhar Bhat of Ara management solutions for many years and he is more of a friend than Financial advisor to me. His recommendations on investment are very sound and practical. He has made very accurate predictions on financial trends and the kind of risks I should take or avoid. He has never pushed for investments when I am not comfortable with the risk involved. He has always kept my immediate and long term needs in mind before advising anything. His services in terms of picking up cheques and forms is very convenient and prompt and so is the ease of withdrawing money in times of need. My LIC premium payment also is processed through Ara and it makes life a lot easier. He has also linked me to good people in the field of real estate and home loans and other financial services. I wish him all the very best
