Mumbai: The Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) has taken its investor education mission a step further with an exclusive branding takeover of Andheri Metro Station on Mumbai Metro Line One, rechristened as ‘Mutual Funds Sahi Hai Andheri’. The initiative aims to embed the message of simple, transparent, and goal-oriented investing into the daily commute of millions of Mumbaikars.
One of the busiest stations on the corridor, Andheri Metro Station records an average daily footfall of around 1.8 lakh commuters, making it a strategic platform to promote financial awareness in a city known for its ambition and fast-paced lifestyle. The refreshed visual identity integrates the ‘Mutual Funds Sahi Hai’ message seamlessly into the commuter journey, reinforcing the relevance of disciplined investing and long-term financial planning.
The newly branded station was unveiled by Shri Manoj Kumar, Executive Director, SEBI, in the presence of Mr. Venkat Chalasani, Chief Executive, AMFI, along with senior officials from key partner authorities.
As part of the comprehensive station takeover, the campaign leverages a wide range of media formats both inside and outside the station. These include main naming signage, elevators, escalators, staircase glass railings, backlit media, entry gates, station roundels, platform route maps, internal and in-train route maps, as well as in-train announcements, ensuring consistent message visibility across every commuter touchpoint.
Commenting on the initiative, Sundeep Sikka, Chairman, AMFI, said, “The Mumbai Metro represents millions of journeys every day – journeys filled with goals, responsibilities, and aspirations. Through this association with Andheri Metro Station, we aim to bring financial awareness into the daily lives of lakhs of commuters, reminding them that disciplined investing, informed decision-making, and long-term planning can be as integral to personal progress as the journeys they undertake across the city.”
Venkat Chalasani, Chief Executive, AMFI, added, “Investor awareness remains at the heart of AMFI’s mission. By bringing the ‘Mutual Funds Sahi Hai’ message into a high-traffic public space like Andheri Metro Station, we are able to engage with people during their daily routines, outside traditional financial settings. Simple, easy-to-understand messaging placed in a familiar environment helps demystify mutual funds and connects financial concepts to everyday life. Through this association with Andheri Metro Station, we aim to make financial literacy more accessible, relatable, and actionable, encouraging commuters to take confident, well-informed steps toward achieving their financial goals.”
Sharing his perspective on the collaboration, Rohit Chopra, Chief Operating Officer, Times OOH, said, “Metro stations are not just transit points; they are powerful spaces for meaningful conversations with consumers.
