Why it matters

Indian personal finance is the highest-CPM category on Indian YouTube ($3-7 RPM vs $0.50 for entertainment), and audience demand is uncapped — 200M+ first-time investors entered markets post-COVID. AI narration has crossed the 'sounds human' bar. One operator can ship 30 videos/month.

Market context

Channels like 'Pranjal Kamra' and 'Asset Yogi' have crossed 5M subs purely on personal finance. AdSense + affiliate revenue on a 100k-sub Indian finance channel routinely crosses ₹3-5L/month.
