Mumbai: Money9 will host a one-day Financial Freedom Summit (FFS) in Mumbai on 15 March.
The Financial Freedom Summit (FFS) takes place against the backdrop of Money9's first independent countrywide personal finance survey, which was conducted late last year.
While India has made significant progress in its financial inclusion agenda over the last decade, the Money9 Personal Finance Survey discovered that we are still a long way from achieving our true goal of financial freedom for the country's 1.4 billion citizens. The survey also identified a number of other gaps in the inclusion ecosystem.
Top policymakers, BFSI leaders, and regulators have gathered for the TV9 Financial Freedom Summit (FFS) to help close the gap. Throughout the day, they will discuss a comprehensive action plan.
The inaugural address will be given by Ms. Anupriya Patel, Union Minister of State for Trade and Industry. Maharashtra deputy Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis, will deliver the valedictory address.
Nilesh Shah of Kotak MF, Radhika Gupta of Edelweiss AMC, and other eminent presenters and panellists from the Summit include,Wiseinvest CEO Hemant Rustagi, Axis Bank Chief Economist Saugata Bhattacharya and Harsh Roongta.
Speaking about the Summit, TV9 Network MD & CEO Barun Das said, "India has truly fast tracked the financial freedom agenda during the last decade. But given the gigantic inequity that we started with, we have yet a long road to traverse. TV9 Financial Freedom Summit is a modest effort to help identify bottlenecks and recommend a mitigation plan."
"To my mind, while the supply side has been by and large established, the demand side is yet to be fully addressed to. Our endeavour at Money9 is to play a pivotal role to help bridge the gap" Barun added.
The day-long Summit will feature power sessions and theme keynotes to drive the financial inclusion agenda.
1. Reimagining financial inclusion
2. How to leverage financial inclusion to financial security
3. How to boost India’s savings
4, What is next for Mutual funds
5. Can FinTech’s drive financial inclusion
6. How to enhance trust of small investors among others.
The Financial Freedom Summit will be featured prominently across the broadcast and digital assets of TV9 Network from 2 pm onwards on Wednesday.
