From navigating markets to missing family during big moments, EasyEquities COO Rish Tandapany shares his journey, top investing picks, and the principles guiding him into 2025.
My job is a bit like opening Pandora’s box - every day brings something new. From market trends to product innovations, there’s always a challenge to solve, and that’s what I love about it. As I try to know more about our community every day, I thought you might want to know a bit more about me too.
While Malaysia is home, my travels - especially to South Africa - have introduced me to incredible people, culture, and food. But travel has its downsides. I miss my family during big moments, and sometimes the distance is tough. We’ve learned to make it work - maybe absence really does make the heart grow fonder (and it helps that they get more presents than the average family!).
With EasyEquities, investing can broaden your horizons - without the layovers. Want to invest in the US, Australia, the UK, or Europe? Our revamped forex solution makes it quick and affordable. And if you’re watching Elon Musk’s latest moves, check out the Musk's Universe AI Basket, or create your own AI Basket on whatever theme you like.
Closer to home, we’re making it easier to take control of your retirement savings. Move your RA or Preservation Fund to EasyEquities and qualify for 1% cashback* once the transfer is complete. With over 1,900 retirement transfers initiated since October last year at an estimated R650 million in value, it’s clear that investors are embracing this opportunity.
This year, I’m committing more time to mentorship. Watching potential unfold - whether in markets or people - is something I’m passionate about. And I, too, draw inspiration from leaders like South African entrepreneur and venture capitalist Michael Jordaan, and Helena Conradie, former CEO at Satrix. Their insights in our Invest in Yourself podcast left me fired up about what we’re building.
As we step into 2025, I’m guided by two core principles:
Here’s to a year of learning, investing, and making every opportunity count.

As we step into 2025, I’m guided by two core principles:
- Customers first, always. Your trust drives us to democratize investing while making it intuitive. Every update we make answers one question: Does this empower rather than confuse? Complexity without compassion is just clutter.
- EQ over ego. We’re building more than a platform - we’re creating a space where market wisdom meets emotional intelligence, where portfolios grow alongside financial literacy.
