In a rapidly changing investment landscape, bonds are emerging as a vital asset class for Indian investors looking for portfolio stability and predictable returns. With equities remaining volatile and fixed deposits offering sub-inflation returns post-tax, bonds are carving out a space as a reliable middle ground for both capital preservation and growth.

Saurav Ghosh, Co-founder of Jiraaf, believes this evolving sentiment is backed by broader market participation and regulatory clarity. He points out that retail interest in bonds has surged following the introduction of SEBI’s online bond provider platform norms in November 2022, making this an opportune time for investors to explore the fixed-income route.
