What to expect?

The Women Financial Advisers Network (WFAN) is targeting to bridge the workforce gender gap in India which is currently at a low of 24% and also prepare women for the future where one of the top ten career options by 2022 will be Financial Planners and Advisers (Source: The World Economic forum's Future of jobs report 2018)

The objectives of the roadshows are to help attendees:

• Recognize/identify their driving values and reflect on how one can use these values to guide key life decisions.
• Understand how the Network would actively support them in becoming competent financial planners and achieving financial independence.
• Discover how to align with one's core values to lead a balanced and meaningful life.
• Assess how the Network would continue to nurture them to grow and thrive personally and professionally.
• Appraise whether 'Is it worth investing my time, effort and money to rebuild my career through The Women Financial Advisers Network?'

More about Life & Money

Enabling and empowering women to be self-worthy and lead healthy, wealthy, happy and meaningful lives in sync with their personal and financial goals is not new to Life & Money.

The seeding for this program began in 2015 and showed promising results when Life & Money successfully completed their first ever, crowd funded Women's Project focused on Financial Wellness for Young Women in Semi-Rural Region in 2016.

Five hundred undergraduate women from the rural farming background learned, probably for the very first time, 'how to' progress towards realizing their dreams and aspirations, to be financially independent, plan the spending: saving to meet their life goals and other finance and wellness topics through Life & Money's carefully curated process and discussion oriented workshops.

It was liberating for the young women to know that they had choices whereby they would not have to depend on their parents or their husbands, to enjoy a 'rich' and 'balanced' life - that they are worthy and capable of doing it themselves and in turn, being of significant assistance to their families and communities.

While the rigor around educating a million rural and semi-urban women in India around financial independence by 2020 continues, Life & Money is focusing on urban women too and has chosen Mumbai and Bangalore to start The Women Financial Advisers Network in India.
