How a refusal by bankers birthed India's first women-only bank
In short: When traditional financial institutions shut their doors to rural Indian women, Chetna Gala Sinha decided to build her own. This talk explores how she transformed systemic exclusion into a pioneering movement of female-led capital.

The narrative highlights the collective courage of rural women who provided the initial encouragement for this venture. It examines the transition from being excluded from traditional financial backing to creating a self-sustaining model of economic empowerment.
