What begins as a forgotten investment or an old paper trail often turns into a long, overwhelming battle with bureaucracy for individuals and families seeking their rightful assets. India’s unclaimed financial assets pose real challenges for individuals, NRIs, and legal heirs trying to reclaim what’s rightfully theirs. Common obstacles include changes of address, lost or damaged paperwork, mismatches in names, complex succession requirements, and the need to deal with multiple authorities such as the IEPF, banks, depositories, insurers, and statutory bodies. According to data reported by The Economic Times, unclaimed bank deposits alone stood at around ₹67,000 crore as of June 2025. Beyond bank deposits, significant unclaimed value also exists across shares, dividends, mutual funds, insurance, and provident funds, making this a multi-lakh crore challenge in India. Share Samadhan has emerged as a pioneering force in India’s unclaimed asset recovery landscape, distinguishing itself as the country’s largest advisory firm dedicated primarily to this niche and the only player in the segment listed on the BSE-SME platform.
With more than fourteen years of hands-on experience, the organization has developed deep expertise in identifying, tracing, and recovering financial assets that often remain overlooked due to lack of awareness, procedural complexity, or legacy issues. Its service portfolio spans a wide spectrum, including recovery of shares and dividends transferred to statutory authorities, dormant mutual fund investments, inactive or forgotten bank deposits, pending insurance claims, unclaimed provident funds, and long-standing financial holdings passed down across generations. Share Samadhan also assists investors and legal heirs with intricate processes such as issuance of duplicate share certificates and transfer of securities after the demise of an investor, ensuring regulatory compliance and procedural clarity. “Beyond individual investors, the firm also advises corporates on complex financial recovery matters where documentation gaps or legacy issues impact asset realization, helping improve liquidity and financial health. The company has expanded into litigation funding consulting, where it advises parties on structuring, feasibility assessment, and strategic facilitation of funding for high-stakes legal proceedings on a success-linked basis. It also offers wealth protection solutions designed to preserve and safeguard assets over time.”, says Abhay Kumar Chandalia, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Share Samadhan.
A Transparent Recovery Framework
Operating in a highly sensitive financial and legal environment, the firm follows a clearly defined recovery framework that prioritizes client confidence at every stage. Unlike fragmented or unregulated consultants, Share Samadhan adopts a fully documented and regulator-aligned process supported by internal checks, feasibility assessments, and formal agreements. Most engagements are structured on a success-linked fee model, ensuring strong alignment between client outcomes and advisory incentives. Clients benefit from structured communication, defined timelines, and continuous updates, ensuring complete visibility into the progress of their case. Dedicated relationship and operations managers provide single-point accountability, enhancing trust and responsiveness.
The company’s status as a publicly listed entity further reinforces strong governance standards, disclosures, and ethical conduct, offering clients assurance and credibility in a domain that often lacks transparency. “We leverage technology-driven process frameworks such as internal research methodologies, e-signing, structured regulator-aligned documentation systems, and real-time case tracking to improve accuracy and significantly reduce turnaround time. Our deep regulatory understanding across IEPF, SEBI-registered intermediaries, banks, insurers, and other statutory bodies enables us to navigate complex procedures efficiently and deliver faster, more reliable outcomes for our clients”, adds Vikash Kumar Jain, Co-Founder and CEO of Share Samadhan.
Building Enduring Trust
Share Samadhan has built long-standing relationships with clients, partners, and associates by placing empathy, integrity, and clarity at the core of its advisory approach. Many recovery cases arise during emotionally challenging circumstances, such as the loss of a family member or periods of financial uncertainty. Recognizing this, the firm emphasizes honest communication, responsible guidance, and practical expectation-setting, ensuring clients remain informed and supported throughout the recovery journey. This consistent and ethical engagement has led to over 45,000 meaningful client interactions and the development of a robust, referral-driven network comprising more than 2,500 business associates in India and abroad.
Over the years, Share Samadhan’s evolution has mirrored the growing trust placed in its capabilities. From its early beginnings as a specialized recovery advisory, the firm has transformed into a diversified financial recovery platform offering multiple service verticals. It has successfully facilitated the recovery of assets exceeding ₹700 crore, expanded operations across more than ten countries, and established representative offices in key Indian cities. Strategic collaborations with reputed financial institutions, along with guidance from an experienced advisory board, have further strengthened its foundation. The company’s public listing has further strengthened governance standards, institutional credibility, and long-term growth orientation.
The Robust Way Ahead
Share Samadhan envisions transforming unclaimed asset recovery into a recognized and organized segment within the broader financial services ecosystem. The company is also actively exploring global partnerships and cross-border initiatives to serve the Indian diaspora more effectively. Technology will play a central role in the next phase of growth, with digital platforms being developed to enhance research capabilities, streamline case monitoring, and improve client experience through greater transparency and accessibility. “Alongside this, we intend to scale our litigation funding consulting practice and reinforce wealth protection solutions through strategic alliances. A strong emphasis on investor awareness and financial education will continue, aimed at minimizing the occurrence of unclaimed assets and promoting longterm financial preparedness”, concludes Abhay.
