Kalpen Parekh, MD & CEO, DSP Asset Managers, said, “Distribution is much more than a channel for growth. It is how we build trust with investors through long-term relationships with our partners. As investor needs continue to evolve, so must the way we support and engage with our distribution ecosystem. Our Distributor Success Framework goes beyond communication and campaigns. Through this initiative, we share practical growth marketing frameworks that help our partners address real business challenges and grow their practices. It is built on a simple belief: when we help distributors build stronger businesses, we build deeper and more enduring partnerships. Komal brings deep experience across distribution, customer engagement and business development, and we look forward to taking this approach to many more partners across India under her leadership.”

Komal Narang, Head – Distribution, DSP Asset Managers, said, “DSP’s long-term, investor-first philosophy strongly resonates with me. Distribution partners play a vital role in helping investors achieve their financial goals, and I believe our role goes beyond simply offering investment solutions. It is also about bringing meaningful value to our partners through our investment insights, expertise and understanding of investor needs. I look forward to working closely with our distribution partners to deepen relationships, expand access to investment solutions and create a consistent, high-quality experience for investors. I’m excited to join DSP at this stage of its growth journey and contribute to building an even stronger distribution platform."
