  • India has been quite successful in leveraging the smartphone revolution by exponentially improving the network infrastructure and democratizing digital services in the country. The newfound convenience and trust significantly helped the financial industry infuse trust into a vastly untapped market. However, financial literacy is still a work in progress in India, which makes it a mountain to climb for industry segments like Asset Management, despite having grown enormously over the last two decades. Data from the Boston Consulting Group show that India’s wealth management industry is expected to grow at 10 percent per year to reach $5.5 trillion by 2025. While this presents a huge opportunity, it is going to be equally challenging for the industry to explore the market. Anil Ghelani, CFA, Senior Vice President, DSP Mutual Fund, engages in an exclusive interview with CEO Insights to navigate these challenges.

  • Top 10 CEOs In Financial Services - 2023

    Financial Services CEOs Providing Financial Security for Your Future
    Financial services are a broad range of more specific activities such as banking, investing, and insurance. Financial services are limited to the activity of financial services firms and their professionals, while financial products are the actual goods, accounts, or investments they provide. Financial services comprise services such as loans, insurance, portfolio management, stock markets, banking, and mutual funds. Learn more. Financial services are professional services that involve management, investment, lending of money and assets for both people and organizations.

    Importance of the Financial Services: The financial services sector is the primary driver of a nation's economy. It provides the free flow of capital and liquidity in the marketplace. When the sector is strong, the economy grows, and companies in this industry are better able to manage risk. Financial services are crucial to the functioning of an economy. Without them, individuals with money to save might have trouble finding those who need to borrow, and vice versa. And without financial services, people would be so intent on saving to cover risk that they might not buy very many goods and services.

    "Financial services industry is a ward of the state" -  Timothy Noah
