India is at an inflection point in the financialization of savings, driven by high growth and resilience of the domestic capital markets coupled with increased investor awareness and best-in-class digital infrastructure. As part of a panel on "Savings & Wealth: Is India at an Inflection point?" with Jitendra Gupta (CEO & Founder, Jupiter), Sandeep Jethwani (Co-Founder & CEO, Dezerv) moderated by Anish Patil (Vice President, Z47), we will double-click on the following trends: ➡️ Increase in retail participation: 1 million new investors entering the market every month, with retail now accounting for 18% of market ownership. Will domestic capital continue to drive Indian markets in the near future? ➡️ Shift in household savings: Massive shift in household savings towards equity vs. Bank FDs (7.2% of household savings vs. 1.6% on a historic basis). Is this a secular trend vs. a one-time shift? ➡️ Emergence of a new affluent class: India has witnessed a 25%+ growth rate in $ millionaires, with ~100K more UHNI and HNI households expected to be added in the next few years. How are both incumbents and challengers capturing this segment? ➡️ Pressure on bank deposits: With CASA flows seeing continued pressure on the liabilities side, is this an existential threat to Indian banks? 🗓️Day & Date: Thursday, 29th August 2024 ⏰Time: 9:30 AM onwards 📍Venue: Jio World Convention Centre Z47: Avnish Bajaj | Vikram Vaidyanathan | Rajat Agarwal | Anand Khetan | Taha Tinwala | Nipun Singhal BCG: Yashraj Erande | Nisha Bachani | Neetu Chitkara | Vivek Mandhata | Vikram Khanna | Jinia Rao | Akshat Raj | Chirag Sharma #FoundersFirst #Z47Fintech #SOFTU2024
