Recent data shows strong investor confidence in India's mutual funds, with equity inflows rising 31% in September 2026 and SIP contributions reaching record highs.

Meanwhile, digital platforms are expanding access to investing, especially for smaller investors in smaller towns, raising questions about whether easier access leads to better investment decisions.
