Key facts

Frequency	Several appearances per year, typically clustered around scheme launches, market events, and the Annual Unitholders' Meet

This guide covers finding and listening to PPFAS Mutual Fund-related podcast content. As of 2026, PPFAS Mutual Fund does not run its own dedicated podcast; instead, the AMC’s team members appear as guests on Indian personal-finance podcasts. The PPFAS YouTube channel also hosts video content that is often available as audio extracts on podcast platforms. This guide helps locate and listen to both categories.

Step-by-step procedure

Step 1: Open Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your preferred podcast app

Open the podcast app of choice. Most Indian personal-finance podcasts publish on multiple platforms simultaneously; pick the one familiar to you.

For desktop listening, Spotify Web Player at spotify.com is also functional. Apple Podcasts web at podcasts.apple.com works for non-Apple devices.

Step 2: Search for PPFAS or Rajeev Thakkar

In the app’s search bar, enter one of:

Rajeev Thakkar (most frequent PPFAS-team podcast guest, given his role as CIO).
Neil Parikh (Chairman/CEO; less frequent but high-impact appearances).
PPFAS or Parag Parikh.
Raunak Onkar (Head of Research; occasional guest on research-and-philosophy podcasts).

Episodes are typically titled with the guest’s name, the host’s name, and a topic teaser. Examples: Rajeev Thakkar on Capitalmind: Value Investing in 2024, Neil Parikh on Paisa Vaisa: PPFAS Story.

Step 3: Identify well-known interview podcasts

Several Indian personal-finance podcasts regularly host PPFAS team members:

Capitalmind Podcast (host: Deepak Shenoy): Substantive interviews on investing philosophy, market views, sector analysis. PPFAS team appearances are typically multi-hour deep dives.
Paisa Vaisa with Anupam Gupta (host: Anupam Gupta): Personal-finance focused interviews. PPFAS appearances cover scheme selection, philosophy, and investor education.
The Capitalists (hosts: Sumit Choudhury, Anuj Singh): Investing-focused interviews; substantive PPFAS interviews appear periodically.
The Indian Finance Show: Broader personal-finance content; PPFAS appearances align with market events.
Money Mahaul: Hindi-language personal-finance content; occasional PPFAS appearances.
Pranjal Kamra’s interviews: Conducted on his YouTube channel, often published as podcast audio.
Other niche shows: Sector-specific or theme-specific podcasts occasionally feature PPFAS-team specialists.

Subscribe to the host podcast to receive notifications on future episodes. PPFAS-team appearances are individual episodes, not an ongoing series, so subscribing to the host’s overall feed is the way to be alerted to future PPFAS content.

Step 5: Listen to the most recent PPFAS appearance

Sort the host’s episode list by date or filter by guest name. The most recent PPFAS appearance often discusses:

Current market views (post-major-event commentary).
Recent scheme launches (e.g., Arbitrage Fund, DAAF, Large Cap).
Annual Letter themes (around June-August).
Industry-event responses (e.g., SEBI overseas-cap discussion in 2022-23).
Behavioural-finance themes during drawdown periods.

Step 6: Cross-reference with PPFAS YouTube

The PPFAS YouTube channel (see how to access the PPFAS YouTube channel) often hosts:

The same interviews as audio-and-video on the AMC channel.
Audio extracts from the Annual Unitholders’ Meet, available as standalone listening.
Original PPFAS-produced content (factsheet videos, explainers) that is essentially audio-podcast equivalent.

Some investors use the PPFAS YouTube channel as their primary “podcast” source for the AMC’s content.

Step 7: Save episodes for later or download for offline listening

Most podcast apps support:

Save for later: Pin episodes for future listening.
Offline download: Cache the episode locally for listening without internet. Useful for commutes, flights, or low-connectivity scenarios.

PPFAS interview episodes are often 60 to 90 minutes; a single episode can fill a typical commute or workout window.

Step 8: Follow up on referenced content

PPFAS interview content often references:

Books: Buffett’s annual letters, Munger’s almanack, Klarman’s Margin of Safety, Howard Marks’ memos, Robert Shiller, Daniel Kahneman.
Articles: Specific Mint, Economic Times, or research pieces.
PPFAS documents: Specific factsheets, Annual Letters, or Scheme Information Documents.
Industry data: AMFI flow data, SEBI publications.

Note these references for follow-up. Many investors treat PPFAS podcasts as a curated reading list for deeper exploration.

What can go wrong

No PPFAS results in search: Verify the spelling (PPFAS, Parag Parikh, Rajeev Thakkar). Different platforms may have different episode catalogues; try searching the host show’s website directly if app search fails.
Old episodes still appearing as top results: Sort by date in the host’s episode list to find the latest PPFAS appearance.
Audio quality variation: Some older recordings have audio-quality limitations. Most recent recordings are professionally produced.
Length expectation: PPFAS interviews are typically substantive (45 to 90 minutes). Listeners expecting short clips may be surprised; budget time accordingly.
Translation/language: Most content is in English. Some Hindi-language podcasts host PPFAS appearances; check language metadata on the episode.
Subscription costs: Most platforms are free with ads; premium tiers may offer ad-free listening. PPFAS does not charge for any podcast content.
Out-of-date views in older episodes: Older PPFAS-team interviews may discuss market views or specific portfolio decisions that are no longer current. Use as historical context, not current guidance.
Specific portfolio names referenced: Specific stock names mentioned in interviews may have been bought, sold, or repositioned since the recording. Verify current positions via the latest factsheet.
Forecast versus reflection distinction: As with factsheets and Annual Letters, podcast content is descriptive and reflective, not predictive.
Personal questions referencing the show: Listener Q&A on host shows may not address PPFAS-specific scheme queries; for personal investment questions, use the PPFAS investor desk.
