Godrej Housing Finance Launches Pune's First All-Women Affordable Housing Branch
Godrej Housing Finance has opened a special branch in Pune staffed entirely by women.
This branch is part of a program called Aarohi, which aims to help women in many ways.
It offers loans for affordable homes, starting from a small amount, and gives people up to 30 years to pay back the loan.
The goal is to give more women job opportunities in finance and to help more women become homeowners.
This is the second branch GHF has opened in Pune recently.
The company believes that having diverse teams helps them serve customers better.
Through this initiative, they have already helped women get over ₹1,000 crore in loans.
Godrej Housing Finance (GHF) opened its first all-women employee branch in Pune's Kharadi.
This is GHF's second affordable housing branch in Pune within six months.
The branch offers affordable housing loans starting from ₹5 lakh with tenures up to 30 years.
The initiative, Aarohi, focuses on empowering women as borrowers, employees, partners, and community influencers.
