Minakshi Todi
Her Company
The Finance Box provides practical finance workshops for non-finance people across all age groups. People work so hard to make money, invest years into their education, getting the right job and working tirelessly to get promoted. Unfortunately, most people spend too much effort on making money, and not enough on managing it. Understanding how savings, investments and financial planning works makes all the difference in enabling people to live the life that they want through the money that they earn. The Finance Box teaches users various topics like mutual funds, accounting, stock markets, personal finance, why money matters, banking 101 and many more.
Her Journey
Minakshi left her investment banking career in the UK because she wanted to do more with her finance skills than just help strike M&A deals between global conglomerates. She wanted to share her wealth of financial knowledge with those who needed it most. In 2018, Minakshi moved to India. She started by teaching finance at ISME School of Management and Entrepreneurship. Interacting with students, Minakshi realised how new they were to financial literacy. Students were unaware of basic financial concepts and money management tools like budgeting, saving and investing. The more she spoke to people around her - men, women, teenagers - the more apparent it became that this was a gap that needed to be filled. Thus, The Finance Box was born.
