How can the authorities ensure that the finfluencer ecosystem is not inundated by nefarious elements? What are the guidelines that finfluencers need to adhere to? Shweta Kothari joins former finance secretary Subhash Chandra Garg, Prableen Bajpai, founder, FinFix, Pranjal Kamra, CEO, Finology Venture, News9's Kartik Malhotra and Suyash Maheshwari to get answers to these questions and much more in this edition of Business Plus.
