Successful teams advance to a high-energy buzzer round where speed, accuracy and presence of mind decide the winners. The mix ensures participants demonstrate not only textbook learning but also real-world application and teamwork–skills that mirror the challenges of modern investing.
To create a level playing field, all participants are provided with curated study materials via the dedicated WongaWits Learning Management System (LMS) an exclusive initiative by YES SECURITIES towards building financial literacy, the LMS website ensures that students from varied backgrounds can prepare on equal footing while also developing long-term awareness of financial markets.
More Than a Contest
What distinguishes WongaWits is that it is not just a competition but a youth-centric learning movement. YES SECURITIES has partnered with Smaaash – Game On as the official gaming partner for the season, blending the seriousness of finance with the spirit of play. By doing so, the platform makes financial literacy less intimidating and more relatable to students.
Why Youth, Why Now?
Financial literacy is one of the most crucial life skills of the 21st century. Yet, a 2024 SEBI survey shows that only 27% of Indian adults meet global standards of financial literacy.
“Financial choices today ripple far beyond wallets – they shape policy, politics, and progress. India’s youth are not waiting for a seat at the table, they are redesigning seating and the table itself. YES SECURITIES believes financial literacy is the foundation of long-term wealth creation. Through WongaWits, our mission is to make Finance approachable, relevant, and engaging for the generations that will define India’s economic future,” said Anshul Arzare, CEO & MD, YES SECURITIES.
Looking Ahead
As WongaWits Season 2 unfolds across 12 cities, it promises to inspire thousands of students to see investing not as a daunting subject but as a tool for empowerment. With the Grand Finale bringing the best of India’s talent back to Mumbai, YES SECURITIES is cementing its role as a catalyst for financial literacy, turning a quiz into a movement for financially fearless youth.
