India's Largest
Education Campaign for MFDs
Dear MFDs
Mutual Fund Distributors are the backbone of India’s wealth creation story. You have enabled millions of investors to achieve their goals, channelled domestic inflows into capital markets, and helped build the ₹75 Lakh Crore mutual fund industry that is powering India’s economic future.
Yet the journey has only begun. Nearly 2 lakh MFDs are empanelled with AMFI, but only around 3,000 have scaled beyond ₹100 Crore in assets. We believe the time has come for every MFD to think bigger—not just for personal growth, but for the financial well-being of investors, the strength of our industry, and the progress of our nation.
At Network FP, we believe each MFD has the potential to manage hundreds of crores for hundreds of clients. Achieving this requires more than product knowledge—it calls for leadership, marketing acumen, management skills, technology adoption, and above all, the hunger to grow with purpose.
That’s why we are proud to launch The Real MBA for Every MFD—India’s largest free learning campaign. Over 12 sessions in 3 months, CEOs, CBOs and industry leaders will share real-world strategies on people, clients, technology, sales, and scale.
Join 10,000+ MFDs nationwide and take your next big step.
Sincerely,
NFP Team
