The latest episode of Investing in India explores some aspects of the maze that is India’s pension system. We invited two guests to help us figure out where things are at. Sriram Iyer is the MD and CEO of HDFC Pension, while Amit Gopal was the business leader for Mercer’s investment business at the time of the recording.
We discuss on,
The Background - India’s pension system is a collection of different schemes
The Concerns with different parts of the pension system
How the Defined benefit Old Pension System (OPS) could ‘pauperise’ the nation
How Employee Provident Fund (EPF) is a monopoly and regulator of the corporate exempt schemes
How the National Pension Scheme’s unbundled architecture is slowly getting better
and more..
