|October 02, 2025

"This is the missing piece from a retail investor's perspective. This asset class (bonds) is gaining prominence and may find a place in everybody’s portfolio in the next 5 years,” said Vineet Agrawal, co-founder of Jiraaf, a Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi)-regulated online bond platform, at the Mint Money Festival 2025 held in Bengaluru.
