Mr. V. Vaidyanathan, MD & CEO of IDFC FIRST Bank, stated, “IDFC FIRST Academy represents a pivotal initiative for IDFC FIRST Bank. We observe that in everyday financial activities, such as savings and investments, many individuals struggle with foundational concepts. For instance, while they may be aware of Mutual Funds, they often lack clarity on distinctions between Debt, Equity, Hybrid, or Tax-Saving Mutual Funds, as well as their operational mechanics. This program aims to demystify these complex topics.”
Once the course is completed, participants will get interactive quizzes created to evaluate their understanding. Based on their performance, participants will receive certificates to acknowledge their achievements.
