Dear Reader,

In many Indian households, financial decisions are handled by one person, often because “that’s just how it has always been.”

Meanwhile, the everyday budgeting, saving decisions, and planning for the future are shared by the entire family, especially the women at home.

Yet one quiet gap remains:

Many women, despite managing the household so efficiently, are rarely included in long-term financial planning. This isn’t because they lack interest or capability, but because they were never given a seat at the table when these discussions began.

And this is where families unintentionally limit their financial growth.

When Everyone Understands Money, the Entire Family Grows Stronger

A financially aware family:

  • Makes goals together
  • Saves with purpose
  • Avoids costly mistakes
  • Plans for children’s future with confidence
  • And is prepared for life’s unexpected turns

When women actively participate in these conversations, something remarkable happens:

Decisions become more thoughtful, disciplined, and long-term.

This is not about shifting control, it’s about sharing clarity.

A Simple Step to Begin That Conversation

To help families build a shared understanding of wealth and security, The Economic Times is hosting a complimentary Financial Freedom Awareness Workshop. This 3-hour live online session, led by Varun Malhotra, is designed for families to attend together, including spouses, parents, and even grown children.

It will cover:

  • How to align savings to life goals
  • How to calculate the retirement number for your family
  • How to make your money grow above inflation
  • How to avoid policies and products that silently drain wealth
  • And how to structure a plan that works across all life stages

You’re Invited, And So Is Your Family

Date: Sunday, November 16

Time: 10 AM – 1 PM

Format: Live Online Session

Reserve Your Free Seat

Forward this to the women in your family, not as advice, but as an invitation to plan together.

Because financial freedom is not a solo journey.

It is a shared foundation, built by every member of the home.

Sincerely,

The Economic Times
