Bhrugu Thakkar brings an unlikely combination to Indian wealth management: Silicon Valley data science and a deep family legacy in financial advisory. After earning his Masters in Data Science from Northeastern University in Seattle, he built a career as a Data Scientist at two of San Francisco's most respected tech companies — DocuSign and Intuit Credit Karma — where he worked at the intersection of AI, financial data, and product.
At the height of a multi-six-figure career in the Bay Area, Bhrugu made a deliberate choice to return to India — not out of circumstance, but conviction. He saw an opportunity to bring the analytical rigour and technology culture of Silicon Valley into the world of Indian mutual fund advisory, a space that had been underserved by modern tools and data-driven thinking.
As CEO of Real Value, Bhrugu is building the firm's next chapter: integrating AI and data science into investment analysis, scaling the marketing and sales function, and positioning Real Value as the most technologically forward AMFI-registered advisory firm in India.
Hansa and Dinesh Thakkar are the founders of Real Value Portfolio Management — a firm built not on a corporate pitch, but on a genuine belief that every Indian family deserves honest, expert financial guidance.
Together, they bring over three decades of combined experience in mutual fund distribution, wealth management, and goal-based financial planning. Hansa established the firm with a client-first ethos that has defined Real Value's culture from the beginning — her warmth, patience, and deep understanding of family finances have made her a trusted advisor to hundreds of investors across Gujarat and beyond.
Dinesh brings the strategic backbone — guiding portfolio construction, fund research, and long-term planning through every major market cycle of the modern era: the liberalisation boom, the 2008 global financial crisis, and the pandemic. His steady, conviction-driven approach has helped clients stay the course when markets were uncertain and emerge stronger on the other side.
As co-founders and Managing Directors, they oversee the firm's operations, client relationships, and investment philosophy — ensuring Real Value remains what it has always been: a firm that puts people before products.
