Aditya Birla Capital launches LeadHerShip for women founders
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. The diversified financial services company has introduced the women-to-women initiative under its flagship fintech platform InFiniTe. 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. By bringing together leadership experience and entrepreneurial ambition, it creates a powerful exchange of ideas and helps shape the next generation of women leaders in financial services.”
In an industry where women’s representation in leadership still lags despite growing pipelines of women-led start-ups, LeadHerShip offers a practical bridge. It turns mentorship into momentum giving founders the navigation tools they need while letting Aditya Birla Capital spot the next wave of inclusive innovation. For women entrepreneurs charting their course in fintech, this ship just came in with a strong tailwind.
