About Us

India's journey to superpower status hinges on widespread financial literacy, yet, a stark statistic reveals that only 27% of the population possesses this crucial skill. Lack of financial education renders individuals vulnerable in times of crisis. To address this challenge and bridge the divide, The Times Of India presents the ‘India for Financial Literacy’ campaign. The aim of this initiative is to equip citizens with knowledge, skills and resources to help them manage their money effectively. The campaign launches with a Right To Excellence - Financial Literacy Summit, a platform for policymakers, experts, and financial luminaries to converge. Together, they will explore how enhanced financial literacy can propel the nation forward.
