Moneycontrol Launches FiDEX 2026 to Bring Together India’s Financial Distribution Ecosystem
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 9: Moneycontrol, India’s leading financial information platform, has unveiled FiDEX 2026 (Financial Distributor Expo), a large-scale industry initiative designed to connect the country’s financial product manufacturers with its extensive network of financial distributors. The platform aims to catalyze collaboration, knowledge sharing, and business growth across the financial services value chain.
Creating a Unified Platform for Distribution
FiDEX 2026 is built to serve as a structured marketplace and learning hub for professionals and institutions spanning the distribution spectrum. It brings together mutual fund distributors (MFDs), registered investment advisors (RIAs), insurance advisors, PMS and AIF distributors, fintech platforms, asset management companies (AMCs), non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), and other financial institutions. Hosted in Mumbai, the expo convened participants from across India to engage in meaningful conversations and explore emerging opportunities.
Conceptualized and executed by the Moneycontrol team, the initiative has been led by senior leaders who took the project from idea to on-ground execution. Their focus has been on building a single, high-impact venue for collaboration across traditionally fragmented verticals within financial distribution.
What FiDEX 2026 Offers
The expo features an exhibition with more than 70 participating brands, alongside curated panel discussions, industry conversations, and hands-on workshops. These sessions spotlight pivotal themes shaping distribution in India, including:
- Diversification across asset classes and products
- Technology and AI adoption to improve efficiency and reach
- Evolving regulatory and market dynamics
- New investment opportunities for distributors and advisors
With a strong turnout of intermediaries from across the country, attendees engaged with participating institutions, discovered innovative tools and solutions, and attended knowledge sessions led by domain experts and market leaders. The high level of participation reflects the sector’s appetite for actionable insights and stronger industry linkages.
Voices from the Initiative
“India’s financial distribution ecosystem is expanding rapidly, but it continues to operate across multiple segments and product categories,” said Naveen Chandra, National Category Lead, Moneycontrol. “FiDEX has been designed as a platform that brings together this fragmented ecosystem under one roof.

Echoing this vision, Sanjay Shukla, Regional Head, added: “FiDEX is envisioned as an industry platform that enables collaboration across the financial services ecosystem. By bringing together manufacturers, distributors, and technology providers on one platform, we are creating an environment where meaningful conversations can take place around innovation, distribution efficiency, and the future of financial intermediation in India.”
