MF Chronicles by Vikaas M Sachdeva

Let’s be the first mutual fund in India.”

That simple ambition, born out of youthful energy and a belief in an opportunity no one had explored, would go on to shape India's private mutual fund industry. Vivek Reddy was at the helm of Kothari Pioneer when it launched India's first private-sector mutual fund.

But being first was only the beginning. From building an open-ended fund and putting investors at the centre to creating a culture of innovation and eventually walking away from the business, Vivek’s journey offers a rare look at what it takes to build an industry from the ground up.

We get into:
• Why the opening of mutual funds to the private sector looked like an incredible opportunity
• The youthful energy and competitive spirit that drove him to be first
• Building India's first open-ended mutual fund when there was no playbook
• Why customer centricity, transparency and faster access to money mattered from day one
• How innovation became part of Kothari Pioneer's DNA
• What the Templeton acquisition taught him about building, selling and moving on
• Why he believes the industry has focused too much on asset gathering and too little on capital allocation
• What needs to change in investment research and decision-making for mutual funds to create greater value

What makes this conversation particularly interesting is the perspective that comes with having seen an industry before it had a name, and then watching it become one of India's largest financial ecosystems.

Vivek Reddy's story ultimately comes down to curiosity, conviction and the willingness to question what everyone else takes for granted.

Recommended for:
Investors, mutual fund professionals, financial advisors, research analysts, finance students, entrepreneurs, and anyone curious about the people, ideas and decisions that shaped India's mutual fund industry.

"Great investing isn't about chasing markets. It's about questioning them."

Before mutual funds became mainstream, there were a handful of people building the industry from scratch. KN Sivasubramanian was one of them.

From joining Kothari Pioneer as a Research Analyst to becoming Chief Investment Officer at Franklin Templeton India, his journey mirrors the evolution of India's mutual fund industry itself. We get into:

• Why skepticism became his greatest investing advantage
• Building India's first private mutual fund when there was no playbook
• The thinking behind launching India's first IT mutual fund
• Why he cut IT exposure before the dot-com crash despite severe underperformance
• How "making fewer mistakes" became his framework for long-term wealth creation
• Why information is no longer a fund manager's edge and judgment matters more than ever
• His candid views on active vs passive investing, AI, and the future of fund management
• How he thinks investors should approach the next decade of wealth creation 

The biggest takeaway from this conversation isn't the beginning of an era, a sector, or a market. It's a way of thinking.

In a world where information is available to everyone, lasting investing edge comes from asking better questions, staying patient, and having the conviction to think differently. 

Recommended for:
Investors, mutual fund professionals, financial advisors, research analysts, finance students, entrepreneurs, and anyone curious about how one of India's most respected CIOs thinks about markets, investing, and decision-making.

"Nobody has to push passive. The data will talk for itself."

Long before ETFs became mainstream, Sanjiv Shah and Rajan Mehta bet on an idea that very few believed in. They didn't just build India's first ETF - they helped lay the foundation for passive investing in the country.

We get into:

• Why they believed it was nearly impossible to consistently beat the market
• The entrepreneurial journey behind launching India's first ETF
• How Nifty BeES, Gold BeES and Liquid BeES changed the industry
• Why passive investing took years to find acceptance in India
• The incentive problem that shaped active investing
• How EPFO and institutions accelerated ETF adoption
• The biggest myths around passive investing
• What they would build if they were starting all over again

What stayed with me was that the biggest ideas don't begin with consensus. They begin with conviction.

Recommended for:
Investors, financial advisors, mutual fund professionals, entrepreneurs, and anyone curious about how conviction can create an entirely new category.

"Every crisis leaves a scar. The best ones leave a lesson."

When I sat down with Nilesh Shah, Managing Director of Kotak Mahindra AMC. I wasn't looking for market predictions or investment ideas. I wanted to understand something deeper: how India's mutual fund industry evolved through crises, mistakes, reforms and reinvention.

Nilesh has had a front-row seat to some of the most defining moments in Indian investing. 

We get into:
• Why the Unit 64 crisis became a turning point for Indian mutual funds
• What it was like when investors wouldn't even allow private mutual fund managers into the room
• How SEBI transformed a financial "Wild West" into a regulated ecosystem
• The leadership lesson behind building processes instead of relying on star performers
• Why some fund managers chose to lose AUM rather than mislead investors
• How transparency became more important than performance
• The real story behind Flexi Cap funds and scheme rationalisation
• Why trust remains the industry's most valuable asset

What stayed with me after this conversation was a simple thought: trust wasn't built through bull markets. It was built through difficult moments, tough decisions and the willingness to learn from mistakes.
Perhaps that's why every crisis ended up making the industry stronger.

Recommended for:
Investors, fund managers, distributors, regulators, and anyone who believes that the story behind an industry is often more valuable than the products it sells.

"The stock price determines the narrative of the street."
 These words. Decades of investing wisdom.

Kenneth Andrade has spent most of his career looking where others aren't. Before he became one of India's most respected mid-cap investors, he was a journalist studying businesses one report, one IPO and one industry at a time.

His investing philosophy is surprisingly simple: when everyone is looking in one direction, start asking what they're missing.

We get into:

• The transition from journalism to investing
• Why mid-caps became India's discovery engine
• What the dot-com bubble taught him
• How to think about market cycles
• Why dominant businesses survive downturns
• Active vs passive investing
• The psychology of underperformance
• Where he sees opportunity today

The biggest takeaway isn't about mid-caps.
It's about curiosity, patience and surviving long enough to be right.

Recommended for:
Investors, fund managers, finance students, equity researchers, CFA aspirants, and anyone trying to build conviction in an increasingly noisy market.

“Why beat the market… when you can simply access it?”

For years, ETFs in India quietly stayed in the background while active investing took centre stage. But somewhere along the way, passive investing stopped being an alternative and started becoming infrastructure.

My conversation with Sundeep Sikka, ED & CEO of Nippon India Mutual Fund, goes far beyond ETFs. We spoke about conviction, investor behaviour, scale, and why some of the biggest shifts in investing happen slowly… until suddenly everyone notices them.

We get into:
● Why India took time to accept ETFs
● The Goldman Sachs acquisition and the early passive bet
● How ₹6,000 crore became ₹2.26 lakh crore
● Why ETF growth is really a story of behaviour change
● Gold ETFs, demat accounts, and post-Covid retail participation
● The philosophy of “profit is a byproduct”
● Why risk management is an invisible parachute
● Active vs Passive and why both will coexist

Some conversations explain products. This one explains how investing culture changes.
The episode starts with ETFs, but somewhere along the way, it becomes a conversation about how India builds wealth.

When your money could double in 5 years back in those days… why would you take market risk?It’s easy to forget that this was once the norm.

To really understand that shift, I spoke to Navneet Munot, Managing Director & CEO, HDFC AMC.

There was a time when you didn’t need markets to make money. 14% was normal, debt did the job, and equity felt unnecessary.

From that world to today’s world of SIP culture - let’s understand how India’s relationship with markets actually evolved.
We get into:

• Why equity was a tough sell in the 90s
• How debt funds brought the first wave of investors
• What actually built trust over time
• The shift from institutions to everyday investors
• And why time in the market still beats timing it

And somewhere along the way, we realise - nothing about markets is easy… except the rules we keep ignoring.

Why do investors enter at the top… and exit at the bottom? Let’s break that down.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dhirendra Kumar - Founder & CEO, Value Research, who’s seen India’s investing journey up close for over three decades.

We get into:
• Magnum Multiplier, Mastergain, and the frenzy of the 90s
• How PSU mutual funds shaped early investing in India
• The shift from share certificates to SIPs and digital access
• Why investors still end up chasing performance
• Investing vs just collecting funds
• Active vs passive: skill vs discipline
• Why star fund managers can be a trap
• How regulation actually helped the industry grow
• What real portfolio data says about investor behaviour
• And why discipline quietly does the heavy lifting

From paper-based investing to a few taps on your phone - a lot has changed. But the way we behave as investors? Not so much.

If you want to understand what actually drives your returns - beyond markets and funds - this episode is for you.

“The third generation will approach life very differently from the way we did.” That line genuinely made me pause.

It came from Swarup Mohanty, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Mirae Asset Mutual Fund (India) and it changed how I think about the future of investors in this country.

Over the last three decades, global asset managers have entered India with strong processes, big brands and global playbooks. Yet many of them struggled to stay the course.

So what makes India such a different market? Let’s find out.That leads us to questions like:
• What global AMCs underestimated about India
• Why track record beats launching more products
• How IFAs quietly shape a fund house’s growth
• Why several marquee global names eventually exited
• The Korean mindset of “destroying yesterday”
• And how the next generation of investors could change the game

One theme runs through it all: patience.

In asset management  and in India  sometimes the biggest edge is simply staying long enough.

“Investing isn’t arithmetic. It’s judgment.
”That line stayed with me.

In this chronicle, I sit down with Sankaran Naren - currently the CIO at ICICI Prudential AMC, but once a fund manager navigating the excesses of the 90s, the lessons of 2008, and the eventual rise of hybrid investing.

He has seen the industry evolve - from unchecked optimism to tighter regulation, from pure equity enthusiasm to disciplined asset allocation.

This conversation isn’t about predicting markets. It’s about designing for them.

We talk about the mistakes of 2007–08, why investors got scarred, and how Balanced Advantage was built to manage risk first - buying when markets fall, trimming when they rise.

We discuss:• What the industry learnt the hard way after 2008
• Why “not scarring investors” became a philosophy
• Asset allocation as discipline - not a marketing pitch
• Value vs quality cycles and surviving long underperformance
• IPO froth and why sellers often know more
• Why risk management becomes harder at scale
• The real challenge of being a CIO
• And whether AI will assist - not replace - decision-making

What I appreciated most was his clarity:
Markets will always be volatile. The job is to build systems that survive them.

If you care about how the hybrid category truly evolved and what responsible fund management looks like - this episode is for you.
