Beyond the buzz as Moneycontrol sets sights on wealth that actually lasts
MUMBAI: Chasing quick wins is easy. Holding steady when the ground shifts is the real test. Moneycontrol, in partnership with Dezerv, is set to host the Moneycontrol presents Dezerv Wealth Summit 2025 in Mumbai on December 15, bringing together some of India’s most seasoned investment voices for a hard look at what building wealth really means in uncertain times.
Anchored around the theme “Beyond Alpha: Building Real Wealth in an Uncertain World”, the summit aims to move the conversation past short term outperformance and headline grabbing trades, and towards the fundamentals that sustain portfolios across cycles. With markets swinging on geopolitics, liquidity and sentiment, the focus is firmly on resilience rather than reaction.
Discussions will span how investors can stay disciplined when volatility spikes, why global diversification increasingly matters alongside India’s growth story, and whether long held asset allocation rules still hold water. Speakers will also unpack alternatives, IPO strategies and pre listing opportunities, weighing upside against risk rather than selling the dream.
The speaker line up brings together fund managers, wealth advisers, strategists and founders who have navigated multiple market phases. The emphasis is on experience over noise, with insights designed to translate into practical frameworks for both individual investors and those managing larger pools of capital.
Moneycontrol managing editor and Network18 chief AI officer for editorial operations Nalin Mehta said investors today are looking for depth, not declarations. He noted that the summit is intended to challenge assumptions, simplify complex trends and offer perspectives that help people think differently about money, not just chase it.
With conversations rooted in realism rather than optimism alone, the summit positions itself as less of a conference and more of a working session for serious investors. The aim is clarity over commentary, and tools that can be used long after the applause fades.
The Moneycontrol presents Dezerv Wealth Summit 2025 will be streamed live on Moneycontrol.com from 4 pm onwards on December 15, offering viewers a front row seat to a more grounded take on building wealth that lasts.

News TV viewership jumps 33 per cent as West Asia war draws audiences
BARC Week 8 data shows news share rising to 8 per cent despite T20 World Cup
NEW DELHI: Even as individual television news channel ratings remain under a temporary pause, the genre itself is seeing a clear surge in audience attention.
According to the latest data from Broadcast Audience Research Council India, television news recorded a 33 per cent jump in genre share in Week 8 of 2026, covering February 28 to March 6.
The news genre accounted for 8 per cent of total television viewership during the week, up from 6 per cent the previous week. The spike in attention coincided with escalating geopolitical tensions involving the United States, Israel and Iran, which have kept global headlines firmly fixed on West Asia.
The rise is notable because it came at a time when cricket was dominating television screens. The high-stakes stages of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, including the Super 8 fixtures and semi-finals, were being broadcast during the same period.
Despite the cricket frenzy, viewers appeared to be toggling between sport and global affairs, boosting the overall share of news programming.
The surge in genre share comes even as the government has enforced a one-month pause on publishing ratings for individual news channels. The move followed regulatory scrutiny of the television ratings ecosystem.
While channel-level rankings remain temporarily out of sight, the genre-level data suggests that when global tensions escalate, audiences continue to turn to television news for real-time updates.
