Bridging Gaps,
Building Wealth
Empowering Women Through
Financial Independence
- The Inspiration
Behind DhanSarthi
When Vidhi Miglani, our Founder, noticed that the
young girl she knew had stopped going to school,
she was told, “My father got fired recently and
spends all of my mother’s income on alcohol.
There is little left for things like education.”
That’s when Vidhi discovered that regardless of
the employment status, women don’t often retain
control over money. And in a society where
“Money is Power,” women are often left
powerless.
The gender wealth gap is the significant difference in economic resources between men and women. In rural India, this disparity is often driven by societal norms and practices that favor men, such as unequal access to land, education, and financial resources. This gap can have severe consequences for women's lives, including poverty and limited opportunities.
Gender Wealth Gap
DhanSarthi is dedicated to bridging the gap in financial
knowledge and access. Our initiative operates on a three-
step approach: financial inclusion, literacy, and leadership
development. We believe that by equipping women with
the tools to understand and navigate the financial
landscape, we can catalyse transformative change in their
lives and communities.

Feedback
“As a student, I found this guide incredibly
helpful. Often textbooks complicate such topics
but it really breaks down financial concepts in
a way that’s easy to grasp.”
Angel Garg, Grade 12 Student
“I absolutely loved the chapter on gold
investments. It was so women-centric,
addressing the reality that while women may
not always have cash, they often have gold in
hand. It’s a brilliant approach to empowering
us to make smart financial decisions with what
we already own.”
– Meena Joshi, Homemaker
“I appreciate how DhanSarthi’s guide
addresses financial literacy with sensitivity to
cultural and social factors, making it a
valuable resource for diverse audiences.”
– Manoj Gupta, Social Worker
“I found it incredibly insightful that the real
estate chapter was immediately followed by
one on property rights. It’s a powerful reminder
of the importance of understanding not just
how to invest in property, but also knowing our
rights as women to claim and protect those
assets.”
– Kavita Sharma, School Teacher
