The aim is to make it easier for people in smaller towns and rural areas to invest their money.
They are also working with schools to train others and expand this effort even more.
AMFI and India Post are collaborating to train 1 lakh postmen.
Postmen will become mutual fund distributors in four states.
The initiative aims to boost financial literacy and expand investment access.
