Operationally, the success of Aarthi lies in its grassroots connectivity. Axis Bank operates this initiative through Business Correspondents (BCs)—individuals who act as intermediaries between the bank and the local communities. These BCs are often locals who understand the socio-economic dynamics of the village, making the process of trust-building smoother. By engaging with communities directly, Aarthi facilitates not just the disbursement of credit, but also the opening of savings accounts, thereby inculcating a habit of saving among rural women. The initiative provides doorstep banking services, overcoming the logistical hurdle of distance that often discourages rural populations from engaging with formal banks.
