To kick off the campaign, Spice Money has released a video which depicts how Geeta, Pooja, Vineeta, Sujata, and countless other females manage the finances of their households, businesses, etc. in Bharat. From bill payments, money transfers, cash withdrawals to ticket booking alot of activities are carried out by the women of India.

The first initiative is an instant loan facility (through a partner) that will provide financial support to women Adhikaris who are looking to expand their business or invest in their personal growth. The second initiative is a free IIBF BC/BF certification training,  which is a critical necessary training for all banking correspondents, which will empower women Adhikaris with the necessary skills and knowledge to become even more successful.

Along with this, the company is also encouraging its male Adhikaris to involve their wives or other female family members, to form a connection with their female customers in their localities. This creates a bond and ease for women  to transact eliminating any reluctance, which in turn encourages them to transact.
