Pride of Bharat honours Mr. Shiv Raj Singh, CFP® as the Icon of Uttar Pradesh in Rural Financial Planning & Sustainable Development

Fintellect Intelligent Financial Services is proud to share that our Designated Partner, Mr. Shiv Raj Singh, CFP®, was conferred with the Icons of Uttar Pradesh Award by Pride of Bharat under its Save the Earth Mission, a renowned non-profit international organization. The felicitation ceremony took place at the Hotel Ganges Taj, Varanasi, on 17th September 2025. The award recognizes his extraordinary contribution of over 18 years in the field of financial services, rural financial planning, sustainable development, and financial literacy, impacting countless lives across India’s heartland. Fintellect Intelligent Financial Services, under his leadership, stands as an authorised financial planning firm recognised by the Financial Planning Standards Board (FPSB) India. The recognition is not just an honour to our founder-partner but also a reaffirmation of our mission to empower individuals and communities through financial knowledge, discipline, and structured planning. In his keynote address upon receiving the honour, Mr. Shiv Raj highlighted a stark reality, "India’s financial literacy levels remain far behind those of developed nations like the USA and European countries. Bridging this gap is not just an economic necessity but a social responsibility." He also shared a timeless thought that defines his professional journey, "Being important is good, but being good is more important." The Fintellect team expresses heartfelt gratitude to the distinguished award jury, especially Dr. Ajay Desai, Founder, and Mr. Pawan Mishra, Co-Founder of Pride of Bharat Awards, for recognizing our work and vision. This milestone strengthens our commitment to drive financial inclusion, rural upliftment, and sustainable financial planning practices across India.
