Amarjeet Singh, a representative from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), highlighted the remarkable financialization of India over the past decade during his speech at the FICCI Financial Products Distribution Summit. He noted that household savings are increasingly being invested in capital markets, as evidenced by the rapid growth of demat accounts. The assets managed across various sectors, including Mutual Funds, Portfolio Management Services (PMS), and Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs), have reached INR 91 lakh crore (approximately $11 trillion USD) by March 2026, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 19%. Singh emphasized that the future growth of the financial sector relies on effectively reaching investors from different geographies, income levels, and demographic backgrounds. He also stressed the importance of scale, trust, and sustainability as interconnected goals that stakeholders—regulators, intermediaries, and industry bodies—must work together to achieve.
