In Her Interest by Zerodha (Taxes session - Blore)

Women have a complicated relationship with money.

And it starts early.

Many families shield their daughters from anything related to ‘finance’. This well meaning protection ends up being a disservice. When these young women step into the real world, they lack the confidence to make financial decisions - not because they’re incapable, but because they were never given information on budgeting, savings and investments.

Later in life, many continue to rely on their partners for investment decisions. This dependency on others will only stop when they have the right information and toolkit to take back control.

That’s is where we come in.

Our upcoming session is a safe, private space - where no question is too small or too basic. Really. Come as you are, with your curiosity.

We’ll be focusing on one core idea:

Building financial security for women.
