YES SECURITIES Launches WongaWits Season 2: A Fun Quiz to Boost Financial Literacy Among Indian Youth
Mumbai, September 12: Get ready, young Indians! YES SECURITIES is kicking off the exciting first round of WongaWits Season 2, India’s Premier Finance and Stock Market Quiz, starting September 13. This popular initiative has grown into a massive nationwide push to help Gen Z master essential investment skills. Think of it as a thrilling mix of competition and learning that makes finance feel fun and easy to grasp for the next generation.
A Nationwide Adventure for Bright Minds
WongaWits Season 2 will tour 12 vibrant cities across India, visiting top academic spots and uncovering rising talent. It’s all about empowering students with financial knowledge right on their campuses.
Here’s the confirmed lineup for September 2025:
- NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad – September 17
- Miranda House, University of Delhi – September 24
- Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics (GIPE), Pune – September 30
That’s just the start! In October and November, the quiz heads to eight more cities: Lucknow, Chennai, Raipur, Indore, Kolkata, Ranchi, Kochi, and Ahmedabad. Thousands of students will join in, turning their communities into hubs of financial smarts.
The big finale happens on December 19, 2025, back in Mumbai. Here, the country’s sharpest young minds will battle it out for awesome prizes: a MacBook for first place, an iPhone for second, and an iPad for third, plus well-deserved recognition.
How It All Starts in Mumbai
Just like Season 1, the action begins at YES BANK House in Santacruz, Mumbai. Over 200 teams – that’s more than 400 students – will dive in for the opening round. Top colleges like Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay), S. P. Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR), Welingkar Institute of Management Development and Research (WeSchool), and Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies (JBIMS) are joining, along with 50+ other elite institutions. Each city brings its unique vibe, making this a true celebration of financial literacy across India’s leading academic hubs.
The Quiz: Thrilling Rounds That Build Real Skills
The format keeps things rigorous yet super exciting. Teams start with a written elimination round, testing core financial concepts and current market trends. Winners move to a fast-paced buzzer round, where quick thinking, accuracy, and teamwork shine – just like in the real world of investing.
To make it fair for everyone, YES SECURITIES provides free study materials through the WongaWits Learning Management System (LMS). This exclusive tool helps students from all backgrounds prepare equally and build lasting knowledge about stock markets and investments.
More Than Just a Quiz – It’s a Learning Revolution
WongaWits stands out because it’s a full-on youth movement for financial literacy. YES SECURITIES teamed up with Smaaash – Game On as the official gaming partner, adding a playful twist to serious finance topics. This makes investing less scary and more relatable for students.
Why Focus on Youth Financial Literacy Now?
In today’s world, knowing how to handle money is a must-have skill. But a 2024 SEBI survey reveals that only 27% of Indian adults meet global financial literacy standards. Smart financial choices don’t just affect your wallet – they influence policies, politics, and India’s growth story.
India’s youth aren’t sitting on the sidelines; they’re reshaping the future. "Financial literacy forms the base for creating long-term wealth. Through WongaWits, we aim to make finance approachable, relevant, and engaging for the generations shaping India’s economic tomorrow," says Anshul Arzare, CEO & MD of YES SECURITIES.
What’s Next for This Financial Literacy Movement
As WongaWits Season 2 rolls out across 12 cities, it will inspire thousands of students to view investing as an empowering tool, not a tough challenge. The Mumbai grand finale will spotlight India’s top talent, solidifying YES SECURITIES’ spot as a leader in building financially confident youth.
A subsidiary of YES BANK, YES SECURITIES started in 2013 with a goal to help people invest smartly and securely. Today, it offers tailored financial services for retail investors, high-net-worth individuals, and institutions.
