Kotak Alternate Asset Managers Limited (“Kotak Alts”) today announced the launch of the inaugural Kotak Alts Katalyst Awards, a first-of-its-kind platform dedicated to celebrating India’s best financial vodcasts with a prize of Rs. 25 Lakhs. This winner-takes-all award aims to set a benchmark for authentic financial content and reward creators who inspire confidence and empower millions of young and first-time investors.

Aspiring applicants can submit one best vodcast that was publicly available on YouTube and released during the calendar year 2025 (from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025) via katalyst.kotakalternateasset. com by 31 January 2026.

Srini SriniWasan, Managing Director, Kotak Alts said, “India is experiencing its largest wave of financial participation. Millions of new investors are searching for clarity in a digital world crowded with fragmented advice and trending shortcuts. Podcasts and vodcasts have emerged as powerful mediums for financial literacy, yet quality and credibility vary widely. Katalyst addresses this gap by spotlighting one creator who simplifies complexity, delivers trust, and makes financial education engaging and actionable.”
