HDB Financial Services has launched an All-Women Branch in Madurai, reinforcing its focus on gender diversity and women-led leadership within the financial services sector.
The company said the branch would be managed entirely by women employees and would create opportunities across operations, customer relationship management and branch leadership roles.
The initiative is also expected to improve access to formal credit and financial awareness among women customers in the region.
Speaking on the launch, Mr. Ashish Ghatnekar Chief – People & Operations, HDB Financial Services, said, “At HDB Financial Services, we believe that empowering women is essential for building stronger communities and a more inclusive financial ecosystem. The launch of our All-Women Branch reflects our commitment to creating leadership opportunities for women professionals while also improving access to formal credit for women customers. This is an important step in our broader strategy to build a more inclusive and future-ready organisation, and we intend to scale this model across more regions in the coming years.” The company currently operates a network of over 1,700 branches across India.
