India's Top Women in Finance 2023
Equalifi’s “India's Top Women in Finance” campaign now in its third year is a campaign designed to identify the most successful and respected women professionals working in the areas of finance, financial services, financial education & financial journalism.
Although the Indian financial services sector has made great strides toward a gender-balanced workforce in the last decade or so, there is still a long way to go. This campaign aims to encourage outstanding women leadership in the industry and groom future leaders.
Women professionals who will feature in this list will be talented, resilient, ethical, strong, and will have grit. They will be the ones who are inspiring their professional network to learn and grow. They are the ones who have faced professional and personal challenges and have come out victorious with a stronger sense of purpose and drive. The relentless pursuit of excellence will be a common trait amongst all of them.
These women represent a tribe that crosses industry, public and private companies, and roles in finance. The impressive credentials of the women on this list place them among some of the most influential business leaders in the country. Despite consistent barriers to entry, these women continue to use their leadership prowess to manage the bottom line but also to shape the direction of future generations of business leaders.
