History
Uncover Our Stories
Mr. Pravin Kumar Dwivedi, a seasoned banker with 23 years of extensive experience across diverse national and international financial institutions, notably served a tenure of 3 years at IDBI Bank. During his incumbency, Mr Dwivedi undertook extensive travels, particularly within the states of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, and Bihar. Through his travels, he discerned a pronounced deficiency in financial literacy among the populace. Having worked with national & international banks he has got a lot of exposure. The idea of fostering financial literacy among the masses crystallized in 2006, prompting Mr Dwivedi’s association with HSBC Bank. However, it was in September 2012, after he departed from HSBC in July of the same year, that the persistent notion of enhancing financial literacy culminated in tangible action. With a singular mission to educate and empower individuals with the acumen and foresight requisite for financial security and sound decision-making, Mr. Dwivedi embarked on his entrepreneurial journey.
Thus, two distinct entities emerged under his stewardship, namely (put hyperlink for AIF)
- AWOKE India Foundation (AIF): A non-profit organization dedicated to advancing financial literacy.
- AWOKE India Consultants Private Limited (AICPL): A for-profit venture aimed at propagating the ethos of Financial Literacy, notably through the inception of the Investor Awareness Program (IAP).
AWOKE India Group forged partnerships with key financial institutions such as the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI), National Stock Exchange (NSE), Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), and Mutual Funds.
A great initiative was then started in 2018, called India Financial Literacy Conclave (IFLC), which is an annual conclave hosted by AWOKE India with twin objectives of putting financial Literacy & Investor Education among the key stakeholders and developing strategies to achieve AWOKE India’s Vision and chalking out a step by step roadmap for the ensuing year. This conclave has gained momentum each year, with increasing participation and enthusiasm from across India.
Since 2018, AWOKE India has been organizing the India Financial Literacy Conclave (IFLC), a yearly event with two main goals: to promote financial literacy and investor education among key stakeholders and to develop strategies to achieve AWOKE India’s Vision.
The idea of Awoke Learning and Knowledge Home (ALAKH) came into the picture in 2021 with the persistent thought of giving back to society, bringing a smile to the faces of underprivileged children along providing holistic education, free of cost.
Notably, in 2022, AWOKE India transitioned into the Centre for Financial Literacy (CFL) project, facilitated by an invitation extended by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to local NGOs in Lucknow. Consequently, 27 CFL centres were established in Bahraich, Prayagraj, and Ballia under the aegis of AWOKE India.
The accolades of success and recognition continued as RBI, in 2024, allocated an additional 49 CFL centres under CFL Phase III in Uttar Pradesh, alongside the authorization for the establishment of 34 new CFL centres in Bihar, further solidifying AWOKE India’s commitment to advancing financial literacy on a broader scale.
