MOFSL Hosts 8th Motilal Oswal Business Impact Conference, Focuses on Growth

Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd. (MOFSL) successfully organized the 8th edition of the Motilal Oswal Business Impact Conference (MOBIC) 2025 in Mumbai. The conference was themed “Mission Growth – Tech Your Business to Next Generation”, focusing on India’s economic acceleration, digital transformation, and strategies to empower investors and financial advisors.

As India’s equity markets continue to attract investors and businesses increasingly embrace a digital-first approach, MOBIC 2025 served as a platform to examine emerging trends across finance, advisory services, and global stability. The event saw robust participation from business partners, investors, and industry experts—reinforcing Motilal Oswal’s leadership in shaping the future of wealth creation through innovation and collaboration.

The conference began with a keynote by Mr. Motilal Oswal, MD & CEO of Motilal Oswal Financial Services, who emphasized, “If you don’t grow, you’ll die a slow death. In today’s fast-changing world, businesses must be Bolder, Bigger, and Better—scaling up, embracing innovation, and integrating technologies like AI to stay competitive. India’s shift from savers to investors demands robust research and advisory platforms to capture emerging opportunities. Only those who evolve in a consolidating market will thrive. Trust—with customers, partners, and people—remains our foundation. Success comes to those with clarity, conviction, and a technology-driven approach.”

The firm is rapidly growing its referral associate and business development manager network, covering every 50–60 km for better client acquisition, local support, and compliance. Diversification across products—mutual funds, bonds, PMS, insurance, global investments, and commodities—is key. Its wide research coverage, particularly in small and midcaps, offers a strategic advantage. Integration of Account Aggregator frameworks provides a 360° wealth view, including external assets. With rising importance of gold, commodities, and global markets, partners are encouraged to diversify revenue streams. The firm remains committed to original, behavior-based, segment-specific research to boost client engagement and outcomes. Under-penetration in Demat accounts signals huge growth potential, especially in Tier 2 and 3 cities like Surat, Rajkot, Bhagalpur, Hisar, and Raipur, supporting their expansion from metros to micro markets.

Mr. Ajay Menon, MD & CEO, Wealth Management at Motilal Oswal Financial Services, said, “We are moving forward boldly with strong momentum and a sharper vision. Indian investing has evolved from local tips to AI-driven trading, fueling our exponential growth—revenues and client activity have doubled every four years. This decade is a unique opportunity as India’s capital markets enter Amrit Kaal toward Vikshit Bharat 2047. Market participation remains deeply underpenetrated, especially beyond metros. The real story is the shift from metro to micro, with investment culture rapidly growing in tier-two cities through digital adoption and wider engagement.”

The event featured diverse sessions on technological innovation and macroeconomic context. Mr. Pankaj Purohit, Head of IT at Motilal Oswal, showcased tools like Advisory Pro and Stratx for scalable, accurate advisory services. Geopolitics was covered by Rajiv Narayanan, Major General Retired, discussing India’s strategic autonomy, while Neelkanth Mishra, Chief Economist at Axis Bank, highlighted key economic opportunities and challenges.

Nadeesh Ramachandran from Google India emphasized data-driven customer engagement amid digital transformation. A panel with Navneet Munot (HDFC AMC), Nilesh Shah (Kotak Mahindra AMC), and Manish Gunwani (Bandhan Mutual Fund) discussed India’s strategic inflection point and policy-driven market opportunities. Mr. Ajay Menon, MD & CEO Wealth Management at Motilal Oswal, presented tech-enabled growth strategies for the franchise network. A fireside chat with Raamdeo Agrawal, Manish Chokhani, and Anil Singhvi offered alternative investment insights for volatile markets.
