Groww, a leading investment platform that allows zero commission investing in mutual funds, recently hosted "Ab India Karega Invest-Bhopal Chapter" — an interactive event for aspiring and novice investors in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. The event, which saw active participation from millennial investors, was held at Hotel Signetic Blue on Monday.
The two-hour event covered an array of topics, ranging from benefits of mutual fund investments, dos and don'ts of investing, and the prospects of India's burgeoning mutual fund industry. It was kick-started with seasoned investors sharing tips and tricks of mutual fund investing.
This was followed by an interactive session, where participants were given a chance to ask questions and clear their doubts. Overarching idea behind this initiative was to break common investing myths and help young investors make well-informed investment decisions.
While talking to mediapersons, on the event's success, Harsh Jain, Cofounder and COO, Groww, said, "The idea behind the inception of Groww was simple — we wanted to make investing easier, quicker and hassle-free for the younger generation. The campaign will help us further in reaching out to our audience in tier two cities and connecting with them in a better way. Bhopal was one of our key cities in North India with almost 80,000 investors on Groww hailing from the city. It's heartening that 'Ab India Karega Invest-Bhopal Chapter' received an overwhelming response and we look forward to organizing similar events in the future."
The first edition of "Ab India Karega Invest-Bhopal Chapter" witnessed a massive turnout, with hordes of people attending the event from even outskirts of the city. As expected, millennials and Gen Z accounted for the majority of participants. The interactive session proved to be particularly fruitful as aspiring and amateur investors presented some important questions regarding mutual fund investing before the experts. Moreover, the event reflected how young working professionals in Bhopal are increasingly considering investing in mutual funds.
