About Rovia

Founded in 2025 by Shivang Badaya and Arnav Grover, Rovia is building a comprehensive wealth operating system for global professionals. The company provides a unified financial infrastructure designed to assist international employees, particularly those at U.S.-listed technology companies, in overcoming the friction and complexities associated with equity compensation. The platform allows users to manage and diversify equity compensation, such as RSUs, by reducing the high costs and complexities associated with cross-border transactions and tax jurisdictions.
