eSaheli's Solution to Women's Financial Barriers: Skill Development Courses for Financial Independence

Financial dependency impacts women’s autonomy and family security. A number of factors make financial dependence an issue for women.

Millions of women in India have to face several challenges, unwanted dependency and abuse, just because they are not financially independent themselves. As this remains one of major problems of Indian society, the solution can lie in utilising skills in beauty, fashion, cooking and others. These hobbies of Indian women can be turned into a profession with successful skill development and business knowledge.

The launch of eSaheli - India’s first dedicated online skill-development platform exclusively for women, is aimed at helping women utilise this opportunity.

Financial Independence: A Growing Necessity

Financial dependency impacts women’s autonomy and family security. A number of factors make financial dependence an issue for women. They are often unable to escape toxic and torturous households as they lack the resources to settle by themselves. Rising inflation also makes it difficult to run a family with a single earning member. Recent economic uncertainties, including corporate layoffs, have demonstrated that families relying on single incomes face heightened vulnerability during downturns.

Traditional skill development courses that these women often turn to as a solution often come with geographical barriers and high charges. As the majority of these courses are available in bigger cities, they exclude women from towns and smaller cities to benefit from them. Lastly, not many of these programs focus on helping their students monitise with their newly learnt skills.

The eSaheli Difference

eSaheli aims at addressing all these issues by providing education that is truly accessible to women across India. With its courses priced at as low as 499/-, the platform will provide digital courses that can be attended from anywhere in the country with a stable internet connection. Having a proper guide on how to monetize the skills learnt in the course, eSaheli will also ensure that these women have a way to earn a living for themselves, giving them the financial independence they need.

A Practical Pathway Forward

eSaheli will have 10 practical courses in the Marathi language starting from makeup artistry, hair artistry to flower jewelry designing and plans to expand in other languages and skills.

For countless women, the journey to financial independence begins with transforming existing talents into marketable skills. eSaheli provides the missing link between passion and profession, offering a practical pathway toward economic empowerment.
