1. Opening Hook

While the market debates whether SIP is the new religion, UTI AMC quietly did its own soul-cleansing — via VRS.
CEO Imtaiyaz Rahman is bowing out after a solid seven-year run, handing over the mantle to Vetri Subramaniam — the fund philosopher turned CEO who actually reads macros for fun.
In a quarter where SIP inflows broke records and the AMC trimmed flab (literally and financially), UTI proved old institutions can learn digital dance moves too.
Stick around — from Salesforce to ONDC, this 60-year-old fund house is acting like a fintech startup with pension plans. 🧠💰
