Rise of Young and Small-Ticket Investors Transforms India's Wealth Management Landscape
India's investing landscape is evolving with a surge of young investors from Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, who now constitute around 60% of new entrants, reflecting earlier market participation. Wealth management is segmenting to cater to diverse investor needs, from small portfolios to ultra-high-net-worth individuals. HDFC Bank's retail investor base has more than tripled since 2020, driven by small-ticket investments and the 2023 merger with HDFC Ltd, indicating broader but not necessarily deeper retail participation.
