    Moneycontrol summit fuels MF industry’s next leap

    MUMBAI: When India’s top fund minds gather under one roof, the conversation is bound to compound. Moneycontrol, India’s leading financial news platform, hosted the Bengaluru edition of the Moneycontrol Mutual Fund Summit 2025, presented by HDFC Mutual Fund and powered by Axis Mutual Fund, bringing together the country’s sharpest asset management leaders to decode the next phase of India’s mutual fund revolution.

    With the theme “Decoding purpose, product, and tech,” the Bengaluru leg built on the momentum of the Mumbai debut, spotlighting the industry’s journey toward a 1 trillion dollars AUM by 2030. The discussions explored how innovation, trust, and digital transformation are reshaping mutual funds from passive savings tools into dynamic wealth-creation engines.

    The summit featured an illustrious line-up including D.P. Singh (SBI Mutual Fund), Navneet Munot (HDFC AMC), Vaibhav Shah (Mirae Asset), Sandeep Tandon (Quant MF), and Neil Parikh (PPFAS MF), among others. Together, they offered insights into everything from investor behaviour and regulatory frameworks to the rise of AI-driven financial advisory.

    Highlighting the potential of the newly launched SIF category, D.P. Singh noted, “SIF bridges the gap between mutual funds and AIFs/PMS, offering evolved investors flexibility with oversight. Within a year, SIFs could grow into a Rs 1 lakh crore category.”

    HDFC AMC’s Navneet Munot struck an optimistic note, “India is transforming from a nation of savers to a nation of investors. People are ambitious, aspirational, and want to create wealth. India is a compounding story.”

    Echoing this forward-looking sentiment, Mirae Asset’s Vaibhav Shah underscored the importance of a liberalised framework for cross-border investments, while Motilal Oswal’s Akhil Chaturvedi observed that Indian investors are now more resilient and long-term focused.

    As India marches toward Viksit Bharat 2047, the Bengaluru edition of the Moneycontrol Mutual Fund Summit 2025 reinforced the sector’s crucial role in driving financial democratisation and wealth creation. With technology, purpose, and innovation steering the next phase, the mutual fund industry seems poised not just to grow, but to evolve.
