About us

About

We believe financial understanding isn’t just about numbers — it’s about dignity, independence, and the power to make confident choices.
Our mission is to make money matters simple, practical, and human, so that women and youth can shape secure and fulfilling futures.

At its heart, our work is about turning financial awareness into strength — for individuals, families, and entire communities.

Our Story

Korou began with a simple idea: everyone deserves to understand money.
In many communities, financial decisions are guided by habit, guesswork, or fear — not by confidence. We set out to change that.

Through workshops, learning circles, and relatable storytelling, we bring financial education to real life — using local examples, shared experiences, and practical tools that make sense in everyday situations.
From schools to self-help groups, we’ve seen how one conversation about money can spark lasting change.

Sonia Sharma
Mentor. Investment Manager. Community Catalyst.

With over 16 years of experience in banking and wealth management, Sonia has guided families and high-net-worth individuals toward financial well-being.
But her true passion lies beyond balance sheets — in simplifying finance and making it accessible for everyone.

Born from a desire to give back to her roots, Sonia founded Korou to bridge the gap between financial literacy and real-life money decisions, especially for women and youth in Manipur.
Having witnessed how silent financial stress can shape lives, she is now focused on creating confidence, trust, and a ripple effect of empowerment across communities.

When one person gets it right with money, it’s never just one life that changes. Wisdom, like wealth, multiplies when it’s shared.
What We Stand For

Korou is not a campaign — it’s a movement.
We stand for values that go beyond finance:

  • Dignity over dependency
  • Confidence over confusion
  • Empowerment over charity

We believe financial literacy should be woven into everyday life — not as a lecture, but as a light that helps people make informed, confident choices.

Join the Movement.
Be part of our growing community.
