Key projects

Four businesses account for the majority of current operating and investment attention, across financial services, aviation, digital marketplaces and digital assets.

Financial services

Fingular

Fingular is an independent financial group launched in Singapore in 2021, of which Vadim Gurinov is a co-founder and strategic investor. Steered by specialists from more than ten countries with backgrounds in finance, IT, product development, sales and marketing, the company offers entirely digital and automated services designed to meet everyday financial needs without requiring human intervention.

The group has rolled out digital financial services in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and India, and aims to serve more than 30 countries by 2030. Its stated ambition is to build the first genuinely global credit-led neobank, a "bank of the Southern Hemisphere", for the two billion underbanked people with no access to conventional banking. Fingular is among the fastest-expanding operators in its category by geographic reach.
