Today, approximately 75% of the Indian population lacks a foundational understanding of key financial concepts, and this figure is even more substantial amongst the youth demographic. The Vidya Setu Foundation aims to change this stark reality by paving the way toward a more financially inclusive future. In our eyes, the opportunities of the future lie within the youth. To unlock this potential, we must empower the youth.

We are proud to announce that we will be hosting our first ever webinar! Join us on October 24th at 7:30 PM IST to dive into the topic of personal finance and begin your journey toward a financially stable and opportunistic future.

What is an emergency fund? Who needs one? Do I need one? How much should I save?

This week we dive into emergency funds and look into its importance, how much one should save, and where one should save. 🏦

This week’s post is a longer one but we dive into the disproportionate impacts that women in particular have faced as a result of COVID-19 — and unfortunately, we have only scratched the surface.
