daily functioning and the disparities between theoretical knowledge and real-world
implementation. Additionally, it offers industry information to investors and anyone
interested in mutual funds. Furthermore, it enhances academic research by providing
significant resources for academics, instructors, and students studying finance and
related disciplines. Hence, this paper explores one of the Mutual Fund Distributors in
India — Wealthy Nivesh.
The systematic selection process for Wealthy Nivesh, as the focal point of this
research, involved a thorough examination of Mumbai's Asset Management
Companies. Employing internet resources and critical reviews, I meticulously
assessed each candidate's alignment with the predefined criteria established for the
target population. In this discerning pursuit, news articles played a pivotal role,
providing insights into the growth trajectories of investment firms, with a specific
focus on identifying promising startups equipped with a robust foundation for
business generation, one of which is Wealthy Nivesh.
The discourse extended beyond the mere operational facets, delving into the
organizational environment that Ankit, the founder, had experienced in his prior
workspace. Of particular note was the shared vision to cultivate a workspace akin to a
playground for professionals, fostering an environment conducive to continuous
improvement and learning. This dialogic exchange further encompassed discussions
on potential internship opportunities within Wealthy Nivesh, strategically aligned
with the expectations predefined for this research.

The ultimate selection of Wealthy Nivesh was underpinned by its unwavering
adherence to the established standards, constituting a Mutual Funds Distribution
business model, the provision of diverse financial products such as Mutual Funds,
Fixed Deposits, Equity Baskets, and Portfolio Management Services. Moreover, the
company met the temporal criterion, having been established for a duration not
exceeding five years, yet exceeding a minimum threshold of one year. The
organizational size parameter was fulfilled by maintaining a workforce ranging from
five to ten employees.
4
In selecting, I talked to the companies which are into the mutual fund
distributors business and connected with them to get an insight into the business
structure and culture they follow. I also took into consideration the diversity in
products these companies offer and the inception date which should have been
established not less than 1 year but not more than 5 years. I prefer a company which is
new to the market over other corporate giants for the reason of the environment these
start-up companies provide. These start-up companies provide a wide range of
knowledge and networking opportunities and direct contact with the founders helps in
understanding the skills required in managing a business.
I also wanted companies that have limited employees, strictly not less than 5
but not more than 10 employees, so that most of their responsibilities are handled by
just one person helping me push my limits to gain the utmost potential within myself
as an outcome of my experience. Wealthy Nivesh is the company which met all the
criteria I set as the company I will have an internship with and they agreed to be my
participant in this report.

malfunctions, or technological disruptions that have the capacity to
compromise the integrity of data and erode client trust.

The arena of wealth management is characterized by an intense competitive
milieu, with both well-established entities and nascent entrants vigorously
vying for market dominance. This heightened level of competition poses
formidable challenges for Wealthy Nivesh in the acquisition and retention of
clients, demanding strategic differentiation and a continuous infusion of
value-added services.

profound risk to client information and the erosion of trust, underscoring the
imperative need for the implementation of robust cybersecurity measures.
