Jeevantika

Overview :

Jeevantika Innovations, a prominent leader in providing essential services to holders of physical share certificates and financial intermediaries, recently approached us to develop a comprehensive solution for managing lost and unclaimed shares. This partnership emerged from a growing need to address the challenges faced by shareholders and financial entities in tracking and reclaiming lost or unclaimed assets. In the realm of financial investments, physical share certificates represent ownership in a company. These certificates, once a common method of holding and transferring ownership, are now becoming increasingly obsolete due to the rise of digital records. However, a significant number of investors and institutions still possess physical share certificates. Over time, these certificates can be misplaced, forgotten, or unclaimed due to various reasons such as change of address, death of the shareholder, or simple neglect. When this happens, the shares become lost or unclaimed, leading to potential financial loss and administrative burdens. Recognizing this gap, Jeevantika Innovations saw an opportunity to leverage their expertise to offer a solution. Their deep understanding of the complexities involved in managing physical share certificates and their commitment to providing top-tier services made them the ideal candidate to tackle this issue. By collaborating with us, they aimed to create a seamless, efficient, and secure system that would not only simplify the process of managing lost and unclaimed shares but also enhance the overall experience for shareholders and financial intermediaries.
