India’s investment landscape is witnessing a surge, with 298.74 lakh monthly searches for Mutual Funds in FY 2024-25, marking a 31.8% year-on-year growth. This rise is driven by a tech-savvy generation, expanding interest in SIPs, and growing awareness around wealth creation.

More and more Indians are looking for mutual funds online, with searches jumping 31.80% year-on-year in FY 2025.

A lot of people are searching for mutual funds on platforms, and Groww leads with the highest Share of Voice at 85.48%, followed by Mutual Funds Sahi Hai (73.54%) and myCAMS (70.28%). This shows that platforms with strong visibility and investor trust are becoming the preferred entry points for mutual fund investments.

Interest in mutual fund apps continues to grow, with myCAMS and Kuvera gaining significant traction. This highlights the importance for businesses to prioritize mobile-first experiences and ensure their apps provide seamless features for investors.

Vernacular and non-brand searches are on the rise, as investors increasingly use everyday language and native terms to seek information. Financial institutions can tap into this by creating localized content and marketing strategies, ensuring they remain relevant and accessible across diverse audiences.

3. Local Searches Take the Lead

In focusing on local trends, some important numbers stand out.

Vernacular Search Volumes
28.77% growth in non-brand vernacular keywords vs. 22.25% for brand keywords: This stark contrast highlights the growing preference for local and relatable search queries.

57.64% market share for non-brand vernacular keywords show dominance. There is a major shift in user behavior, where relying solely on brand terms is becoming less effective.

Examples like “mutual fund kya hota hai” (Hindi) and “ம ్యూచుவல் ఫండ్” (Telugu) showcase how users are searching for complex topics using their native languages and everyday phrases.

The takeaway from these search trends is clear – businesses should embrace a localized approach by adapting to these statistics. This not only enables more meaningful connections with investors but also positions businesses strategically in alignment with the preferences and behaviors of different demographics and regions.
