Platforms like Zerodha, Groww, and Kuvera use AI to create super-personalized investment strategies, making top-notch tools accessible and affordable for everyone.
ESG Investments: Doing Good While Earning Well
Have you noticed more people looking to invest in companies that care about the planet and society? ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investing is on fire, with India seeing a jump in ESG fund inflows annually since 2020.
