What is Moneywise?

Most financial advice still sounds like it’s stuck in a textbook. Moneywise flips that.

This podcast brings together a Millennial and a Gen Z voice for honest, jargon-free conversations on all things personal finance, from your salary and SIPs to your insecurities about not having “figured it out” yet.

Each month, we focus on one financial topic and unpack it through a series of short, weekly, engaging episodes. It’s a podcast that meets you where you are and helps you move forward, one episode at a time.
Continuing the tradition of initiatives and campaigns that motivate, guide, and educate Indians about financial wisdom and wealth creation, we bring you MoneyWise - a podcast series that connects with investors and simplifies the important aspects of investment.

We reached out to the average Indian investor through our successful short films like Bachat Nivesh Badhat, One Idiot, and Return of One Idiot to educate the public about the importance of savings and long-term investments for financial growth and security. Our landmark campaigns like #DateyRaho and #PaisonKoRokoMat have educated millions successfully about the power of investing.
