The Moment Women Knew This Was Different

"Be more confident. Be resilient. Lean in. All of these phrases are giving me an adverse reaction. This is the first community where we actually talk about money."

SM Circle Member
"'Be authentic' and 'be confident' bug me the most — not because we shouldn't be, but because when we are, we're labelled bossy, aggressive, emotional. We literally can't win."
Rita loncar
SM Circle Member
"I found my people. Women who actually understand the pressure and the potential. I'm very grateful for this circle of women, who have provided inspiration and dedication."

Former CNBC & BNN anchor

Meet Saijal Patel, Founder & CEO, Saij Elle

25+ Years in Finance.
One Unwavering Mission.

In working with more than 20,000 women — through masterclasses, live events, and corporate workshops — I kept seeing the same thing. Accomplished career women with meaningful salaries and no structured financial plan to show for it.

Not because they were not capable. Because no one had ever given them a rigorous, holistic framework designed for where they are and where they wanted to go.

Saijal Patel is a CFA Charterholder, award-winning business journalist, and former anchor for CNBC Asia and BNN Bloomberg — with 25+ years of financial expertise across North America and Asia.

“I built Saij Elle because I spent 25 years watching the most important financial conversations happen in rooms that women weren’t invited into. That ends here.”
