Intro - The FINtastic Talks is a Next Generation Talk-show hosted by Mr. Sanjiv Bajaj, Jt. Chairman & MD, Bajaj Capital, giving the Business leaders of the Financial Services or Advisory sector a platform to exchange their vision, experience, and views on how to make the ideal financial decisions. The current edition of FINtastic Talks showcases Mr. A Balasubramanian, M.D. & CEO, Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC, recently elected as the Chairman of Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI).

The larger companies have lower risk and are so big that their chances of growth are also lower. They will grow at a slower pace than the Nifty Next 50 and so on. All the first 100 companies are also still very large companies. So, between the Next Nifty 50 and the Nifty 50, there is only a very small difference in the opportunities. And it is essential to track and find the winners. And that’s where I think mutual funds play a very good role. -Sanjiv Bajaj

I come from a place called Thanjavur in Tamil Nadu, and Bajaj Capital is equally famous in the Southern regions as well. Bajaj Capital is contributing largest to the success of the people in the country, especially to me. -A Balasubramanian

Sanjiv Bajaj: I remember when Mutual Fund SIPs were launched as a concept of disciplined investing in India, and nobody was ready to adopt it and considered it unsafe. Now, SIP has become an industry. We have come a long way from where it started. Your introduction is incomplete without mentioning your most successful campaign in the mutual fund industry, “Mutual fund sahi hai..” which was conceptualized and brought in by you. But before we go into the background, I am sure our readers would be interested in knowing A. Balasubramanian as a person and as a professional.
