Mumbai, Apr 16: Target Learning Ventures Pvt. Ltd., a leading educational resource provider and trusted publishing house, successfully hosted an insightful webinar titled “Empowering the Next Generation: Early Financial Literacy and Responsibility.” The session was led by Dr. Hema Bhadawkar, Associate Professor at Somaiya Vidyavihar University, who provided parents and educators with a strategic roadmap for introducing financial concepts to children at the early age.
The hour-long session delved into the psychology of spending and saving, emphasizing the importance of identifying the optimal age to introduce financial concepts. Dr. Bhadawkar shared actionable methods for both home and classroom environments, moving beyond mere “math” to instil a sense of responsibility and delayed gratification in children. She also discussed how to empower children to make independent, informed choices in a digital-first economy.
During the interactive segment, Dr. Bhadawkar engaged the audience by reflecting on how generational shifts have changed how children perceive value. While previous generations learned through physical currency, today’s children often observe “invisible” digital transactions, making intentional instruction more vital than ever.
Dr. Hema Bhadawkar, Associate Professor, Somaiya Vidyavihar University, said,
“I am honored to have collaborated with Target Learning Ventures to highlight on such a crucial life skill. In our rapidly evolving digital landscape, financial literacy is no longer an elective—it is a necessity. It was a privilege to engage with such a proactive group of parents and educators who recognize that teaching a child the value of a rupee today builds the foundation for their independence tomorrow.”
Dilip Gangaramani, Founder Director & CEO, Target Learning Ventures Pvt. Ltd, said,
“At Target Learning Ventures, we believe in equipping children with not just academic knowledge but life skills that prepare them for the future. This webinar on financial literacy is part of our ongoing commitment to bridging the gap between traditional education and real-world challenges. Dr. Bhadawkar’s insights on how to make financial concepts engaging for young minds will have a lasting impact, and we are proud to be a part of this important journey toward building financially responsible individuals.”
