CRIF India Launches Kolkata Chapter of 'Credit Goes to HER' to Empower Women in Credit
CRIF India has launched the first regional chapter of its 'Credit Goes to HER' initiative in Kolkata, West Bengal, aiming to enhance women's leadership and participation in the credit ecosystem. Launched in March 2026, the program builds a community of women professionals across lending, risk, analytics, fintech, and policy to support women's access to credit. This move aligns with rising women-led business loans and strong credit behavior among women borrowers. Kolkata was chosen due to Eastern India's robust credit growth and West Bengal's expanding retail credit market.
