Detailed Coverage:

Nippon India Mutual Fund, the fourth-largest asset manager in India with over ₹6.54 trillion in assets under management for 20 million investors, is actively working on brand building in a highly regulated financial sector. Chief Marketing Officer Kaiyomurz Daver explains that as a standalone, non-bank sponsored mutual fund house, they face a challenge competing with established bank-linked brands. Their strategy revolves around "passive advertising," which includes branding on news networks and prominent metro stations like Worli Naka in Mumbai, aiming for omnipresence in investors' daily lives.

Impact: This strategy aims to build long-term salience, trust, and customer affinity, crucial for attracting and retaining investors in a crowded market. By being visible where investors work and commute, Nippon India Mutual Fund seeks to foster a likability factor that drives investment decisions.
