Neil Parag Parikh, Chairman and CEO, PPFAS Mutual Fund said, “It is extremely heartening to see our fund came a long way since we began operations in 2013, in terms of the number of investors as well as the number of advisors. As such, it is imperative that we plan out this growth in a structured and sustainable way. From a single office in Mumbai, we have expanded our branch presence in three additional cities- New Delhi, Bengaluru and Pune in the last 6 months.”
”It was important that we had feet on the street in these growing markets for us, in order to serve our investors and partners more effectively and promptly. Going forward, in the coming year we hope to start operations in at least four more cities which are showing good traction for us- Chennai, Ahmedabad Hyderabad and Kolkata. I hope this positive momentum continues for us and we can further expand our reach, to welcome more investors and partners to the PPFAS family.” Mr. Parikh further added.
