Passive investing in India has quietly found its footing.

What was once dismissed as just a low-cost option is now earning a more central role in portfolios because investors are thinking more clearly about costs, consistency, and long-term results. Increasingly, there’s comfort in the idea that simplicity can work.

For distributors, private bankers, and wealth managers, this shift brings both questions and possibilities—around relevance, revenue, and how to stand apart—while also opening the door to stronger, longer-lasting client relationships.

The Cafemutual Passives Conference 2026 is an opportunity to pause, reflect, and look ahead.

This year’s theme, “Passive Investing in India: Unlocking the Next Growth Engine,” captures where we are now moving beyond cost to using passive strategies more thoughtfully in portfolios and in building advisory businesses.

If you’re rethinking portfolios or looking to strengthen your practice, the conversations promise to be relevant and grounded in real experience.

Join us for a day of deep insights and actionable ideas as passive investing settles into its role at the core of modern portfolios.
