Through this initiative, we aim to build the capabilities of our youth who could be potential citizens in contributing towards our future economy.
Apart from the potential of providing higher risk-adjusted returns, the securities market also has a distinct effect on the development and growth of an economy owing to various factors, including creating jobs. We, at Kotak Securities, strongly believe that financial literacy/ education should be a prerequisite for all citizens in the country, as it would help them manage economic dimensions and make financial decisions.
While the regular college curriculum covers a bouquet of subjects with regards to personal finance management, economy, and other financial aspects at a broader level, there seems to be a vacuum when it comes to a deep focus on financial literacy. Hence, there is a need to improve financial literacy/ education in the country to make citizens responsible investors, make them aware of risks involved and be capable of evaluating investment opportunities.
As of 31st December' 21, 28000+ students from 260 colleges across 82 cities - have benefitted from this programme.
