New Delhi (India), March 15: OnFinance Empowers Women through its Women-in-Finance Initiative, Acquiring Over 150+ Women Ambassadors in India and 250+ in Nigeria
OnFinance, an AI-driven fast-growing fintech startup, is committed to promoting financial literacy and inclusion through its Women in Finance program. The program is spearheaded by Ms. Basira in Nigeria and Ms. Yajushi Acharya in India and aims to eradicate gender role biases in the finance industry by empowering women with the knowledge and resources needed to succeed.
The Women in Finance program has quickly gained traction, with over 150 ambassadors in India and over 250 in Nigeria supporting the initiative. The program has conducted over 50 financial literacy workshops across both countries, helping women gain the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the finance industry.
On International Women’s Day 2023, the Nigerian team celebrated by hosting a Twitter space discussion on the Women in Finance program, highlighting its achievements and impact. The program is also supported by OnFinance’s Instagram live series called Femme Fortunes, which features notable women leaders in finance, including financial expert and sensation Ms. Pooja Patel (@profittiger_), advocate Ms. Joshiba Dev (@joshiba.dev), and Ms. Lubhanshi Garg (Founder of Kalakumbh), among others.
“Our ‘Women in Finance (WIF)’ program is a testament to our commitment to empowering women with the knowledge and resources needed to succeed in the finance industry. We saw that only 25% of our users were women and wanted to drive a change for this. Hence, WIF was born,” said Mr. Anuj Srivastava, Co-Founder and CEO of OnFinance. “We believe that financial literacy and inclusion are essential for driving economic growth and development, and we are proud to be part of this movement.”
Ms. Basira, who leads the Women in Finance program in Nigeria, added, “Our program aims to help women overcome the unique challenges they face, including gender role biases and lack of access to resources. We are committed to providing women with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in this industry and achieve financial independence.”
Ms. Yajushi Acharya, who leads the Women in Finance program in India, echoed these sentiments, stating, “Through our program, we hope to create a community of women who are empowered to take control of their financial futures. We are grateful for the support of our ambassadors and partners, and we look forward to continuing to make a positive impact on the finance industry. Our WIF team talks to over 100+ women every week and found out that lack of financial literacy is a legitimate problem that currently exists across the Indian retail investing ecosystem and needs to be addressed immediately and with maximum impact.”
OnFinance’s commitment to promoting financial inclusion and empowering women is a driving force behind its continued success. As the company continues to expand and scale its operations, it remains committed to its core mission of promoting financial literacy and making investing easier and more accessible for everyone.
