Mr. Mohanty highlighted how the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated financial awareness in the country, with mutual fund investors surging from 0.3 crore before the pandemic to nearly 6 crore today. According to him, India’s digital-savvy youth and the convenience of online platforms have made investing more accessible than ever before. This momentum, he believes, will make India one of the largest markets for mutual fund investors globally in the coming decade.

Advising the students at Birla Institute of Management Technology, Mr. Mohanty shared, “I made two mistakes that I regret. The first was not starting to invest early, and the second was not remaining invested. I thought I was smarter than the markets, but I soon realised that the markets are always smarter than you. In a country like India, which is set to double its economic growth in the next decade, investing in capital markets is one of the best ways to participate in the country’s growth.”
