FinTech BizNews Service
Mumbai, 24 December 2025: Kotak Alternate Asset Managers Limited (“Kotak Alts”) today announced the launch of the Kotak Alts Katalyst Awards, a first-of-its-kind initiative to identify and crown India’s Best Financial Vodcast. This winner-takes-all award is designed to set a benchmark for authentic financial content and reward creators who inspire confidence and empower millions of young and first-time investors. Katalyst is more than an award—it’s a movement to champion authentic financial communication. By recognizing creators who combine purpose with creativity Kotak Alts is driving a culture of informed investing and financial confidence across India.
India is experiencing its largest wave of financial participation. Millions of new investors are
searching for clarity in a digital world crowded with fragmented advice and trending shortcuts.
Podcasts and vodcasts have emerged as powerful mediums for financial literacy, yet quality and
credibility vary widely. Katalyst addresses this gap by spotlighting one creator who simplifies
complexity, delivers trust, and makes financial education engaging and actionable.
The objective of the awards is to establish India’s Best Financial Vodcast as the trusted source for
consumers, celebrate creators who deliver clarity-driven content, and shape an industry-wide
narrative that promotes responsible financial education and authenticity in digital media.
Unlike conventional awards with multiple categories, Katalyst is unapologetically singular. One
creator will earn the title of India’s Best Financial Vodcast, reinforcing the idea that trust and
quality deserve the spotlight.
Commenting on the launch, Srini Sriniwasan, Managing Director, Kotak Alts, said, “India’s
financial landscape is changing faster than ever and millions of new investors are looking for
clarity in a world full of noise. The Katalyst Awards are about elevating one voice that truly makes
a difference—India’s Best Financial Vodcast. This is not just an award; it’s a call to creators to
lead with purpose, simplify complexity and inspire confidence. By celebrating authenticity and
impact we aim to set a benchmark for credible financial content and empower a generation to
invest wisely.”
