FIA's Impact:
Empowering Women Through Equity and Inclusion
Women empowerment - FIA believes
In a world that is not gender equal, inequitable and biased, women are still striving to make themselves heard and fight for opportunities. Being in the business of financial inclusion, at FIA we believe that if women are empowered through financial inclusion, our mission and vision of bringing access to capital and through it, create a more equitable world, will become easier.
Women impact – FIA creates
FIA works with women in the rural sectors and employs them as Bank Sakhis. Banks Sakhis are banking agents, recruited from the local communities, to promote financial services, and earn a decent livelihood by doing so. FIA identifies women, coaches and helps them set up their banking centres.

- A Secure harbour where they feel at home working within their communities
- Flexible working options as they can choose their timings as per their convenience
- Policies that reflect their needs and are gender sensitive, such as menstrual leave among others
- Pay parity and believes in pay as per merit and performance
