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 | Neetu Chitkara | Vivek Mandhata | Vikram Khanna | Jinia Rao | Akshat Raj | Chirag Sharma #FoundersFirst #Z47Fintech #SOFTU2024

India stands poised on the brink of a manufacturing breakout and unprecedented growth. There are multiple tailwinds and underlying fundamental shifts such as China 1 strategy, growing global demand for ‘Made in India’ products, development of a supportive manufacturing ecosystem, govt. support and availability of skilled talent - all of which gives us confidence that manufacturing is going to play a pivotal role in shaping India’s economy over the next decade   Read on as Sudipto Sannigrahi and I draw parallels with conditions that previously catalysed the growth of large global manufacturing economies and services in India with conditions that exist today - in part 1 of this 3 part manufacturing series. We believe that this is a once in a generation opportunity to build something large and meaningful in manufacturing.   Link to the article: https://lnkd.in/gQ3hQ4yg   Please drop us a line, if you are building in B2B or manufacturing.

If you're solving for an underserved market in unsecured lending, here are four key insights that underpin the Z47 thesis for this sector. Thanks, Anish Patil for trading trendlines with me on this episode.    👥 Solving for Under-served Market Potential   Borrowers with low but stable incomes and good credit culture have been under-served by traditional lenders, presenting an opportunity for new lenders.   🗂️ Forecasting with Robust Payments Data   The evolution of UPI, account aggregators, and GST has streamlined underwriting, enabling precise borrower profiling and accurate cash flow estimation, all of which allows lenders to tailor financial products.   🤳🏽 Why A Phy-gital Approach Is Optimal   Digital tools enable fraud prevention, enhanced risk assessment and monitoring, while physical presence helps build trust and strengthen operations.   🌏 Financial Inclusion & Strong Credit Demand   Improved infrastructure, steady GDP growth, and better law & order, especially in northern states, have opened new credit markets. Strong credit demand and smoother operations have made previously underserved areas more appealing to lenders.   Anand Khetan | Nipun Singhal | Taha Tinwala    #FoundersFirst #FinTech
