Tanmay Mukherji, our Director of New Solutions, shares how we're embarking on this transformative journey to drive change, one life, one business at a time. 👇 At Udhyam Vyapaar, we ventured deep into rural Madhya Pradesh, and what we discovered was both humbling and inspiring. Generations of women entrepreneurs, and stewards of their family businesses, were facing significant challenges. And with this, a new initiative was born, one that's poised to breathe life into their dreams, to provide the nurturing they need to catch up with this ever-changing world. For us, Vyapaar has never been just a program; it's a movement, a promise, and a glimpse into what's possible. The rural canvas is vast, and so is our passion. We're here to change the script, to empower, and to pave the way for a brighter future. #MakingBharatEntrepreneurial #RuralIndia #WomenEmpowerment #SmallBusinesses #MSMEs #WomenEntrepreneurs

When women prosper, the world prospers”, Women entrepreneurs are significant contributors to the global economy” "Lijjat, Amul and Now next revolutionary Brand in Indian 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 history ♥️ "FARMSANCHAY " Prime Minister said as he emphasized the role of women entrepreneurs in India. Decades ago, he said, in 1959 seven Gujarati women in Mumbai came together to create a historic cooperative movement - Shri Mahila Grih Udyog which has transformed the lives of millions of women and their families. Shri Modi highlighted their most famous product, Lijjat Papad, and said that it will probably be on the food menus in Gujarat! He also gave the example of the dairy sector and informed that there are 3.6 million women involved in this sector in Gujarat alone. Shri Modi pointed out that in India, about 15% of unicorn startups have at least one woman founder and the combined value of these women-led unicorns is over 40 billion dollars. The Prime Minister stresses the need to create a level platform where women achievers become the norm. He emphasized working towards removing the barriers that restrict their access to markets, global value chains, and affordable finance while ensuring that the burden of care and domestic work is appropriately addressed at the same time. Contrary, When Rajasthan State tribe's area rural farming women's formed the startup with their hard earned savings amt Rs 50,000 and dreamt to sale millets based farm produce with their Brand name FARMSANCHAY, the Adani Group world richest Corporate filed opposition notice and the rural farming women's still waiting for justice since 2018 because they are Rajasthani. Why our nation's richest Corporate is creating barriers for women's empowerment, while PM modi wants to break the barriers. #farmsanchay

In rural Rajasthan, self-help groups do not allow women with 'Ghoonghats' to enter. Ghoonghats are a symbol of dependency - On the husband, the in-laws and the society. But why do self-help groups not allow these women to participate wearing a ghoonghat? Because removing the Ghoonghat is the 1st step towards bringing a change in mindset. Joining a SHG for a rural woman is no less than fighting a battle - - Removing the ghoonghat - Stepping out of her home - Redefining their role in the society - Facing resistance While urban India talks about why more women should join boardrooms, here are these women, struggling with problems we would call “basic”. In the last 16 years with Rang De, I have visited many such villages. And every time I return to Bangalore, I feel like we have achieved anything! It’s expensive to be poor in India, but it’s 10x more difficult to be a rural woman entrepreneur. Because their struggles don’t begin at “credit access” or “employee churn rate”. It begins when they choose to step out of the house. At Rang De, our social investors empower every woman who chooses to break free from dependency. When you make a social investment on Rang De, it’s worth a lot more than just financial returns. They send a message to such rural entrepreneurs in bringing a social transformation.

Bali Devi, a 56-year-old widow in Jaipur, India, represents millions of women in the informal sector facing economic challenges. Shruti Gonsalves founded Sitara, a housing finance company within SEWA, helping thousands access affordable housing loans. Despite India's economic growth, poverty and gender inequality persist, with women's labor force participation at a low 24%. Women entrepreneurs like Sweta Mangal of Ziqitza and Neha Juneja of Greenway Grameen are addressing critical issues like maternal health and indoor air pollution. These ventures not only improve lives but also offer profitable returns, showcasing the potential of women-led startups. Despite their success, women-led startups receive disproportionately less venture capital funding globally. Encouraging investment in women entrepreneurs could transform both economic outcomes and gender equality, exemplified by the impactful work of Shruti, Sweta, and Neha.

Our goal is to ensure financial stability and digital literacy for every woman in Bharat, fostering economic independence and self-reliance. Together, we can create a powerful pathway for rural women to achieve their full potential. #ChaloBharat #WomenEmpowerment #DigitalNaari #LakhpatiDidi #RuralDevelopment #FinancialInclusion #PayNearby #EmpowerBharat
