The Bus Yatra is a grassroots initiative aimed at taking our message directly to communities—meeting investors where they are,” said Gaurav Goyal, Head – Sales & Marketing, Canara Robeco AMC. “Our goal is to simplify mutual fund investing, offer practical guidance, and clear up the many myths that often surround it.”
