YES SECURITIES concluded Season 2 of The Wize Whispers Annual Quiz, reaffirming its commitment to nurturing financial literacy among children across India. Launched on 10th November 2025, the second edition witnessed enthusiastic participation from young learners.
Continuing the Mission of Financial Literacy
Anchored in the belief that financial awareness is fundamental to an empowered life, The Wize Whispers began as a monthly comic series aimed at making financial concepts engaging, relatable, and easy to understand for children. With over 24 editions published, the series has consistently encouraged curiosity, smart money habits, and early financial responsibility.
From Comics to Competition
To extend learning beyond the pages, YES SECURITIES introduced The Wize Whispers Quiz as a nationwide initiative designed to translate financial learning into an engaging and competitive format for children.
Season 2: A Hybrid First
Season 2 marked a significant milestone for The Wize Whispers Annual Quiz as it adopted a hybrid format for the first time, combining online and offline competitions and drawing 12,009 participants the largest ever yet. This expanded structure enabled wider participation and deeper engagement, resulting in 7 winners in total across both formats.
Participants were challenged across a broader range of financial topics and, for the first time, the quiz was also made available in Hindi, making it accessible to a wider audience across the country.
