Financial inclusion is a method of offering banking and financial services to all the individuals in a country. It aims to include everybody in the society by giving them basic financial services regardless of their income or savings. It focuses on providing financial solutions to the economically underprivileged. Financial inclusion strengthens the availability of economic resources and builds the concept of savings among the poor. Financial inclusion is a major step towards inclusive growth. It helps in the overall economic development of the underprivileged population. In India, effective financial inclusion is needed for the uplift of the poor and disadvantaged people by providing them with the modified financial products and services. With the introduction of financial technology or fintech, financial inclusion is improving extensively across the whole world. India also has many fintech companies that are constantly working towards simplifying the process of providing financial services to prospective clients. Fintech is revolutionizing the accessibility of financial tools for individuals worldwide. Beyond the convenience of mobile money, fintech has opened new avenues in crucial sectors such as cross border transfers and government-to-individual payments. By leveraging technology, fintech is breaking down barriers and enabling greater financial inclusion. This is a one year incubation program by IIMK LIVE targeted to support startups enabling financial inclusion in the country.
