- Where to go? The group of investors who have little idea about the bond markets but are not aware about where explore bond opportunities
- How to invest? This question is posed to those people who do not know how to buy as bond trading used to be a complex process before the arrival of BondsIndia.
- Where to buy? This includes the section of investors who know about bonds and how to buy but do not know from where to buy or a reliable platform to buy.
