LaxmiGyaan by Priyanka Acharya: Redefining Financial Education for women & families Who makes the financial decisions for your family? Is it the women of the house or is it only the menfolk? NO! This is not just another story of FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE. This is the story of INTERDEPENDENCE! Most households so not always include the women or children when the conversation is about a financial decision to be made for the family. A woman is a CREATOR across generations. In mythology too, we have Ashta Laxmi (Laxmi: The Goddess of Wealth) ADI Laxmi – the seeker, DHANA Laxmi – for prosperity, DHANYA Laxmi – for nourishment, GAJA Laxmi – For royal splendor, SANTANA Laxmi – for child rearing, VIDYA Laxmi – for knowledge, VEERA Laxmi for Courage and VIJAYA Laxmi for Victory. So, the woman, is the ‘LAXMI’ of the family! Yet, few women – earning or not earning, educated or not-so-educated, prefer to just leave money decisions to men. Even children prefer to talk about finance with fathers than their mother. Priyanka Acharya’s LaxmiGyaan®, with its unique initiatives, helps these women to overcome the FEAR of learning or managing finance. There is so much more to just buying instruments for investment, insurance and savings. The woman and her family conversation can bring lot of impact to FINETUNE the finances. Priyanka is on a mission to redefine the concepts of financial education within the family through workshop modules, both offline and online to help overcome the fear of finance. She always wanted to be a psychologist in childhood, but studied Finance, and then realized that Finance is also a psychology & a way of life. That’s when, LaxmiGyaan® was born! To trigger the thoughts of making financial education a priority, she launched unique concepts like LaxmiGyaan Housie, Meditation, Recipe, Kundali and much more! With interesting analogies, the participation & interest of women increased and now she also has few pre-recorded courses on the Android Playstore App – LaxmiGyaan. Not just sessions for corporates, Priyanka has designed unique theme and festival based workshops. To reach millions of women in India, she launched India’s first finance podcast in 8 languages – Ek Chuski Finance, which is now a 90 seconds podcast ‘LaxmiGyaan Library’ to gift relatable and actionable insights to women and families. Priyanka’s father used to say – Earning Money is Easy, Spending is easier. The art lies in managing finances, and it’s a good idea to seek professional help. This is now her life mantra which she is spreading, with LaxmiGyaan Impact: Ek Chuski Finance podcast is created in 8 languages, having 25 episodes, streaming across 21 audio platforms. The 90 seconds LaxmiGyaan Library podcast has crossed 100+ episodes. LaxmiGyaan has covered 12 cities with over 1000 workshops, impacting 50000 families. It has featured on 10 reputed platforms such as Radio Mirchi, Moneycontrol.com, Gujarati MIDDAY and Cyrus Says Podcast and many more. LAXMIGYAAN is simply about relatable and effective way of understanding finance, understanding the proper use of money and involvement in decision making... To permanently break the stereotype that ‘Women need not necessarily be a part of family financial decisions’, she created 2 web series and lots of impactful content for both, men and women. With changing times, it is important that families have regular conversations on finances. LaxmiGyaan® focusses on solving the generation gaps, eliminating the lack of financial communication and encourages women to be a part of these conversations at home! Her name means ‘Favorite’ (Priy) – ‘Episode’ (Anka) and Priyanka aspires to become the Favorite Episode in every financial story!

As a woman who was married off without a choice, my life shifted too drastically, as I not only migrated from a big city like Nagpur to a small, conservative city of Amravati, but also from a pampered daughter to a daughter in law who had no idea how orthodox the family and her husband's personality was. As a pathologist, my parents thought that me getting married into a doctor's family who owned a hospital would be the best choice. But little did they know that as soon as my feet crossed the threshold, I was told that I am not allowed to work and that the hospital would close down soon enough. Despair is a small word for what I was feeling then. The four walls of the house were like suffocating boundaries to me. As an enthusiastic and chirpy woman, I knew that I had to do something. So, I decided to capitalize on my talents of dancing and singing by taking classes for ladies of the town. But even my stomping feet couldn't subdue the thumping of my heart that screamed that it was not enough. I even did event management alongside with the classes but it was not who I wanted to be. Being an avid reader, I had a strong hold on the English language. Noticing that some ladies wanted to learn basic English, I started teaching them, only to discover that I have a knack for teaching. The ladies, impressed by my skill, pushed me to start thinking of taking English tuitions for their kids as unlike them, they atleast have a future to salvage. But who would attend tuitions of a woman who doesn't have a degree in anything English related? My father, my backbone, encouraged me to earn a degree of BA in English Literature. With the support of my in laws, who had finally opened their minds a bit, I started studying; 4 hours of sleep for 3 years and while attending to the needs of my 2 small kids and the entire household. Never did I think that my will to do something would make me an all India gold medallist in English Literature and that the award would be handed over to me by Dalai Lama! The tears of joy and pride that I saw in my parents' and children's eyes were priceless. Starting with 2 students, my tuitions for English and social sciences gradually earned fame with time and has now 100 students sitting in front of me. The respect and love that I receive from my students, when they don't forget to celebrate my bday and teacher's day, and trust my consultations for their future, is the best feeling in this world. Wanting to progress further, I decided to do MA, but life pulled me down when my mother in law was diagnosed with cancer. To be there with her, I had to leave my ambitions behinds, but I have no regrets. No longer dependent on my husband and having a status of my own made me an integral decision maker of the household. The respect that I now receive from my in laws for being a woman on whom the whole household is dependent took me through such a long path of struggles. Going on solo trips, fulfilling all the needs of my children, and enjoying quality time with my parents is everything I can do freely now because I felt the need to be confident and independent. Society looks at me as a bold and empowered woman, who carries major influence on the lives of many. My biggest achievement is that I became an idol for my own daughter, who knows that she has the right to have her life in her own hands and the liberty to achieve anything. I am glad she is a bigger feminist in every sense than I ever was.

Life is strange.. isn't it? but yes, it unfolds in it's own way. There was a time when I wanted to give up on my #life as everything seemed so difficult to me.. and then one fine day, I gave up.. i literally gave up.. I was unconscious and had no clue what was happening in the outside world., I became conscious after a week’s time and I woke up to the fact that I can’t be so selfish. How I can just give away my life without thinking about my own daughter, my parents and about those who supported me in my life. There I woke up to the fact that the objective of living this life is just not to live for yourself but for others too. How I could forgot that i have 2 daughters who are just looking at me to face this world. & that’s how I realized that I can’t give up on my mission to raise not only my kids but to #empower others too.

When I got married at age of 26, little did I realize that whatever decent education of being postgraduate in Science would become a life saver for me, my husband and my children in near future. Wedded into a family with heavy loan credit on my inlaws, a rented house lavish lifestyle expenses, expected form me, tore my soul from within. Within few months the disgust of my husband family grew so much that they wanted me to leave their house, forever. Determined and confident to save a marriage, a daughter survival and proving myself true to women strength, I on a journey of survival. Started a job as teacher in a reputed private school at Kanpur, invested in household chores, managed the declining business of my husband, but reluctant to give up. As luck would have within few months we shifted to Varanasi, I picked up job as a teacher at a reputed school, my husband after shifting few jobs stabilized at a decent one after years of struggle, my both daughters finely educated and we recently shifted into house of our own, its like a dream come true for us. All in all, a cycle of life where struggles were overcome by sheer determination and hard work.
