PRODUCT DESIGN, DEEP DIVE

Currently Tata AMC does not observe substantial variation in its investment products sold to men and women. Kashmira argues: "While investments are made by women, there exists an opinion that the investment decisions are taken by men in households. Even though the change has begun, the male dominance towards making investment decisions is still prevalent. There is also an unwillingness on the part of women to get fully involved in financial matters. They prefer to leave it to males of household."
