Women-to-women mentorship under InFiniTe platform to empower early-stage fintech entrepreneurs with three-month leadership journey.
MUMBAI: Aditya Birla Capital is putting women firmly at the helm with LeadHerShip, a fresh mentorship programme that’s steering early-stage women founders toward smoother sailing in the fintech seas.

Designed to support and empower early-stage women entrepreneurs in financial services and fintech, LeadHerShip pairs ambitious founders with senior women leaders across Aditya Birla Capital businesses for a focused three-month mentoring journey.
The one-on-one engagements help participating start-ups refine strategic priorities, tackle real-world business challenges and build scalable, market-ready solutions. In return, Aditya Birla Capital gains early visibility into emerging trends and innovation-led models.
LeadHerShip deepens the Incubate pillar of InFiniTe, which follows a ‘problem-to-partner’ approach. The platform has already engaged over 200 fintechs and implemented around 60 proof-of-concepts across digital lending, customer experience, data analytics and risk management.
The programme is being rolled out in collaboration with B-Fair Labs, which will handle design, progress tracking and outcome measurement for a structured, impact-led incubation journey.
Aditya Birla Capital Limited managing director & chief executive officer Vishakha Mulye said, “LeadHerShip reflects our commitment to building a more inclusive, future-ready and innovation-led ecosystem.

For women entrepreneurs charting their course in fintech, this ship just came in with a strong tailwind.
