Episode 312 – When Automation Makes Advice More Human with Ritik Malhotra



Ritik Malhotra, founder and CEO of Savvy Wealth, explains how automation and AI can strip away the 70% of administrative work that clogs an advisor’s day—compliance, paperwork, data entry, and reporting—so they can focus on what actually matters: clients. By modernizing the middle and back office, Savvy aims to give advisors back time, clarity, and energy—making advice feel more personal, not more robotic.

Malhotra dives into the psychology of money and why AI is far more likely to empower advisors than replace them. As investing grows more complex—from crypto to alternative assets—technology can synthesize information instantly, but clients still want a steady human hand. Malhotra outlines a future where advisors act as conductors of specialized AI agents—scaling their impact, deepening relationships, and delivering truly holistic wealth management without sacrificing personalization.
