In the expansive realm of finance, Simran Kaur emerges as a luminary, igniting inspiration and heralding change as the founder and co-host of the globally-acclaimed stock market podcast, ‘Girls That Invest’. This multi-million dollar media company has become synonymous with financial empowerment.

Simran's prowess in the finance domain has not gone unnoticed. Her inclusion in the prestigious ‘Forbes 30 Under 30’ list attests to her expertise, while features in TEDx, Forbes, Vogue, Business Insider, and Oxford Women in Business amplify her influence across diverse platforms. A watershed moment in her journey transpired when she took the stage at UK Houses of Parliament for International Women’s Day in March 2023, solidifying her standing as a global advocate for financial inclusivity.

Adding yet another accolade to her illustrious career, Simran has now been honoured with Young Achiever Award at Kiwi Indian Hall of Fame this year. 

"It’s such an honour being given this award and, more importantly, showing the next generation to dream big and never be afraid of what people may think. It’s a huge inspiration to have received this award. I feel humbled and honoured, and I know my family and I are very grateful."

Simran's foray into the world of finance and empowerment began in 2020 when, alongside her best friend Sonya Gupthan, she envisioned a space for women to discuss finance openly. Fast forward two years, and Girls That Invest has transcended digital airwaves, becoming a global phenomenon with over a million downloads and a social media following exceeding 160,000.

The success of Girls That Invest extends beyond borders. Simran and Sonya have traversed geographical boundaries, sharing financial knowledge and empowering international audiences. Her unique teaching style resonates globally, which is evident in messages expressing gratitude for providing a reliable female perspective in the traditionally male-dominated finance world.

Simran's mission is clear and compelling: put money into the hands of women and address the pervasive wealth gap they face. Her approach is characterised by a steadfast commitment to breaking through financial jargon, making investing accessible to women worldwide.

The impact of Simran's mission reverberates beyond media features and accolades. Her best-selling book, Girls That Invest, has not just dominated charts globally but has underscored the hunger for tailored investing education. The book's success finds resonance in Simran's substantial social media following of 350,000 and the over 6,000 students in 60 countries benefiting from her teachings.

Simran Kaur's journey is a narrative of resilience, dedication, and an unwavering pursuit of a more equitable financial future for women. Her podcast, book, and educational initiatives transcend their roles as mere sources of information—they have become catalysts for change, empowering women to dream big and liberate themselves from financial constraints.

In the legacy of Simran Kaur, finance is not just a set of numbers; it is a tool for empowerment, a means for women to carve their paths to financial independence. 

Simran's impact on the financial landscape becomes a beacon as she continues to break barriers and inspire, guiding women worldwide toward a future where dreams are not limited by gender but flourish through knowledge and empowerment.
