A joint study by DBS Bank and rating agency Crisil has provided insights into the investment and financial behaviors of urban women in India. The study, based on a survey of over 800 women across 10 cities, revealed that women earners in Indian metros tend to be risk-averse, with a significant portion of their investments (51%) parked in fixed deposits and savings accounts. The study also highlighted the influence of dependents on investment behavior, credit card usage patterns, loan preferences, and evolving financial priorities based on age categories. The findings emphasize the increasing role of women in financial decision-making and planning in India.
