Women On Wealth (WOW) is a pioneering organisation dedicated to empowering women through financial education and wealth creation. Founded with the mission of bridging the gender gap in financial literacy and economic independence, WOW has been transforming the lives of women across India and beyond since its inception. Through its comprehensive programs and community-driven approach, WOW has been at the forefront of the movement to create a more equitable and prosperous future for women.
Financial literacy is a critical tool for women to build wealth and secure their future. However, many women lack the knowledge they need to get ahead. According to a study by the Global Financial Literacy Excellence Center, women were found to answer a financial literacy question disproportionately with “do not know,” yet when that answer option is available, they often choose the correct answer. This lack of confidence in financial literacy can be a significant barrier to achieving financial independence.
WOW is a testament to the transformative power of financial education and empowerment. The organization offers a range of programs designed to equip women with the skills and knowledge necessary to take control of their financial lives. One of its flagship initiatives is the Money Gym Program, a structured and result-oriented methodology designed to help women achieve their financial goals. The program covers a wide range of topics, from building a vision for oneself to creating a roadmap for wealth creation, debt management, and retirement planning.
Key Outcomes of the Money Gym Program
● Building a vision for oneself
● Stopping the cycle of living from paycheck to paycheck
● Saving 25% more than ever before
● Identifying goals and creating a roadmap to achieve them
● Building an investment portfolio
● Becoming debt-free faster

Testimonial: A Transformative Journey with Money Gym
One such success story is that of a graduate of the Money Gym Program, who shared her remarkable journey:
“I graduated from the Money Gym Program run by Women on Wealth in 2019. Following the structure of Money Gym for five years propelled me towards reaching major financial milestones:
● Debt-Free: I eliminated all my debt.
● Emergency Fund: I built a solid emergency corpus.
● Home Ownership: I paid off a 20-year home loan in less than five years.
● Retirement Savings: I am well on my way to building my retirement corpus.
To celebrate these achievements, I gifted myself a fully self-funded trip to Europe. From creating a travel fund to budgeting for the travel, my Money Gym sheet was key. I am proud of being the first woman in my family to embark on a
self-funded foreign trip, and I am confident that others will follow once they see what’s possible with financial education and empowerment. I highly recommend the Money Gym Program to all women. Financial education can no longer be in the backseat if we want to be truly empowered.”
The Art of Picking Quality Stocks for Beginners In addition to the Money Gym Program, WOW offers a specialised course titled “The Art of Picking Quality Stocks for Beginners.” This course equips women with the skills and knowledge necessary to navigate the stock market and build their investment portfolios.
The curriculum covers:
● Qualitative and quantitative analysis of companies
● Reading financial statements
● Management discussion and sector analysis
● Ready-to-use worksheets for company analysis
By the end of the course, participants are trained to select and buy shares of companies that have been thoroughly researched and analysed.
“Financial independence is not just about having a certain amount of money; it is about having the freedom to make choices that align with your values and goals. It is about being able to take risks, pursue your passions, and live life on your terms. When women are financially independent, they are empowered to make decisions that benefit not just themselves, but also their families, communities, and society as a whole. It is a powerful tool for creating positive change and achieving true fulfilment.”
WOW recognises the importance of creating a supportive community for women to share their financial journeys and learn from each other. The Women Investors Network is a platform that brings together women from diverse backgrounds to discuss investment strategies, share insights, and celebrate each other’s successes. For women entrepreneurs and business owners, they offer a specialised program called “WOW Business Skills for Women.” This program focuses on developing essential business planning skills, enabling women to create and execute successful business strategies. One of their key strengths lies in their ability to create a supportive and empowering community for women. Through monthly expert meetings, online discussions, and in-person events, WOW fosters a sense of belonging and camaraderie among its participants. This community serves as a safe space for women to share their financial challenges, seek advice, and celebrate their victories. Since its inception, it has touched the lives of thousands of women, empowering them to take control of their financial futures. The organisation’s impact can be seen in the stories of women who have achieved financial independence, started their businesses, and inspired others to follow in their footsteps.
As WOW continues to grow and expand its reach, the organisation remains committed to its core mission of creating a more equitable and prosperous future for women. By partnering with like-minded organisations, leveraging technology, and continuously innovating its programs, WOW aims to make financial education accessible to women across the globe.
