6th Indian Women in Finance Summit 2025

Equalifi is proud to announce the 6th edition of the Women in Finance Summit (WIF 2025), the leading platform to inspire the next generation for diversity & inclusive conversations and partnerships in the financial services industry.

This summit unites female finance leaders, emerging professionals, male allies, and industry partners committed to advancing inclusivity in finance and investment management. As part of Equalifi’s global Women in Finance Special Interest Group (SIG) initiatives, WIF 2025 aims to share knowledge, bridge digital divides, and underscore the significance of an inclusive financial sector.

The financial sector has made notable strides in gender diversity, but women still represent only 24% of senior management roles globally in finance. Meanwhile, research shows that diverse teams outperform their peers by 33% in profitability and decision-making. The case for diversity is clear—not only does it drive better business outcomes, but it also creates a more innovative, resilient, and future-ready financial sector.

WIF 2025 is dedicated to addressing the gaps, amplifying voices, and shaping the financial services industry into a more inclusive and equitable space. This year’s summit will bring together influential women leaders, emerging professionals, male allies, and industry stakeholders committed to championing diversity and inclusion.
Join us in building a community dedicated to driving meaningful change and fostering an inclusive and equitable environment within the financial services industry.
