2.  Pay It Forward

Pay It Forward conduct personal finance workshops across schools, corporates and other interested groups. 

While there are courses to teach corporate finance and economics we do not have any "course" to teach us an important life skill like personal finance. Its neither part of the educational curriculum nor part of a dinner table conversation.

Pay It Forward set out on this mission to educate people on understanding the very basics of personal finance. Idea is to teach a subject that has been much ignored, and also make it fun in the process. So they use games and case studies and quizzes to teach some basic concepts. They also break lot of money myths and stereotypes and show people what the common money mistakes they can avoid.

Their USP is that they don’t sell any financial products and they are pure educators. Idea is to objectively teach a subject that is not taught and to help people have a smooth financial journey. 

Founders: Preetha Wali, Anu Seth, and Vinita Jain
