Should You Trust 'Finfluencers' On Social Media? | Ankur Warikoo on Deshbhakt Conversions

Finfluencers have been making headlines of late - many times for the wrong reasons. Finfluencers / Motivators like Vivek Bindra have had cases registered against them - also the SEBI coming down hard on the tribe of Finfluencers....
On Deshbhakt Conversations - we sat down with Ankur Warikoo - one of the most recognisable faces on KZbin (and KZbin Ads) - to ask him some direct questions over online credibility / motivation / money mistakes and his 3rd Book in as many years...

It was so good to interact with you and the deshbhakt audience, Akash. I can see why people love you here - as they have continued to for 20+ years that I have seen you since college! You are a rockstar. Keep inspiring. Keep challenging. Thank you so much for having me 😊

GUYS! - yes! it is really a Chocolate Almond Cake on the table!!! We had a bit before the interview - then ABBE EDITOR gobbled the rest after the chat!!!! Hope there are some lessons on NO trusting Finfluencers blindly - (or any influencer for that matter) Listen to advice but use your mind - QUESTION EVERYTHING !!!!

[@rajdeepbhuyan898]

Do some good homework before going for such interviews. He is a fake person and your are promoting him. This makes you his partner. Tomorrow when someone will throw a court case against him then you too will be dragged into that being a partner. If you still behave like stubborn then just Google about fake finflunencers and SEBI’s action in last few months. All the best Bangali bro.

[@craftsmith7818]

Sane people don't fall for finfluencers. Apart from the very young people who have just started their career, own an iphone, want to party hard, splurge in larger than life extravegenza, fall for such people who show them power of "compounding money" with their 1% club memberships..n they will continue to fall for it. Financial literacy & many real life skills have to be taught by parents if they want to avoid kids from these traps.
