Financial and Digital Literacy Program
Financial services sector has witnessed immense growth in recent years with more focus on bringing unbanked individuals into the financial mainstream. However, rural and urban India is largely excluded from the formal financial system. Some of the key challenges are lack of awareness around financial services heavy reliance on cash for daily activities and unfamiliarity with the digital ecosystem lack of handholding support with applications and onboarding process
Women are still largely out of the discussion around digital and financial inclusion. Indian women are 15% less likely to own a smartphone and 33% less likely to use mobile internet services as compared to men.
