MSME launches Yashaswini Initiative to support women entrepreneurs; First phase to start on July 19 in Jaipur

Gone are the days when the aspirations of Indian women were confined to the boundaries of their homes. Today, these empowered women are breaking free from societal norms and embracing the world of entrepreneurship with open arms. This journey towards gender parity and economic independence, has been a gradual one but filled with inspiring stories. In the vibrant tapestry of India’s economic growth, women-led businesses have emerged as a dynamic force that is driving progress. Their contribution to the entrepreneurial ecosystem is not just a matter of statistics, but a testament to the resilience and determination of these women. And while it's true that they have been instrumental in building the strength of our economy, one must understand that this road to success has not been without its set of trials. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Women entrepreneurship in India: The evolving landscape" comment="subhead" text="Women entrepreneurship in India: The evolving landscape">Women entrepreneurship in India: The evolving landscape</cmsannotation> Despite the rising interest in entrepreneurship among women, various challenges hinder their entry into this space. Factors such as family restrictions, limited time flexibility, lack of professional connections and inadequate access to reliable advisors ensure that the number of women actively engaged in entrepreneurship is smaller than its potential, leaving resources untapped. Amidst these obstacles that <keyword id="74945" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="women-entrepreneurs" source="Orion">women entrepreneurs</keyword> face, <keyword id="6354742" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="flipkart" source="Orion">Flipkart</keyword> has emerged as a beacon of hope and transformation – a homegrown marketplace platform that has revolutionised women entrepreneurship. By defying conventional norms, Flipkart has shattered the myth that women cannot effectively manage both their professional and personal responsibilities. This paradigm shift has not only paved the way for dismantling societal biases but has also provided a powerful platform for women to realise their dreams. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Redefining possibilities: Women entrepreneurs thrive with Flipkart" comment="subhead" text="Redefining possibilities: Women entrepreneurs thrive with Flipkart">Redefining possibilities: Women entrepreneurs thrive with Flipkart</cmsannotation> Flipkart is serving as a catalyst for women in India to challenge traditional societal norms and boost the economy through better labour participation and expansion across sectors. Take for instance <a href="https://stories.flipkart.com/sellfmade-flipkart-seller-momtrepreneur/">Yogita Jain's</a> journey. As a buyer on Flipkart who loved her shopping experience, she was always curious about how the journey as a seller on the platform would be. And she transitioned from being a buyer to becoming a successful seller on the platform with her brand, AADISALES. Born out of curiosity, it now stands testament to her entrepreneurial spirit. In just three months, Yogita transformed into a flourishing ‘mompreneur’, overseeing a team of six skilled professionals who handle essential business functions like accounting, packing, and loading. She says, "The support I received through Flipkart was truly remarkable." Flipkart’s positive impact also extends to promoting sustainability by empowering businesses with a focus on creating a cleaner future. One such business is <a href="https://stories.flipkart.com/stonesoup-flipkart-samarth-partner-sustainability/">Smita Kulkarni’s</a> StoneSoup. After spending ten years in the IT industry, the computer science engineer wanted to tackle the problems of waste segregation and garbage reduction. And she found her calling in promoting sustainability through her venture that offers eco-friendly solutions to millions of customers across India. Leveraging Flipkart’s access to over 450 million customers, her business is able to sell their products, including compost kits, menstrual cups, and cloth sanitary pads, all across the country. Moreover, her commitment to social empowerment led her to employ women from self-help groups and those with disabilities, providing them with means to achieve financial independence. Through Flipkart’s platform, this Bengaluru-based business has helped uplift the lives of over 100 women. Another area where Flipkart has made a significant difference is in addressing financial and marketing related challenges for women entrepreneurs. The platform facilitates easy access to loans — a major obstacle for many women in starting their businesses. For <a href="https://stories.flipkart.com/flipkart-seller-small-business-charu-gupta/">Charu Gupta</a>, this became a life-changing factor. Faced with sudden financial difficulties at home, Charu needed additional income. From kick starting her business, Saikara Collections, with only ₹5,000 to generating a revenue of ₹5 crore through her association with Flipkart, her journey is one of courage and determination. “There were many e-commerce platforms,” Charu recollects, “but Flipkart’s onboarding process was the easiest.” Securing term loans through the support of Flipkart’s Account Managers during the pandemic, she kept her business afloat. Overcoming financial hurdles and building her business through challenges with a team that comprises 50% women staff, Charu’s story epitomises the spirit of a modern Indian woman – resilient, determined and unyielding. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Driving positive change" comment="subhead" text="Driving positive change">Driving positive change</cmsannotation> The ripple effect of Flipkart’s initiatives extend beyond individual success stories. By empowering women entrepreneurs, Flipkart is playing a pivotal role in fostering financial independence, diminishing gender barriers and boosting labour force participation. This wave of change, facilitated by such e-commerce platforms is a growing example of the potential of women entrepreneurship and the impact it can have on the society and our economy by extension. As women continue to challenge traditional norms and embrace entrepreneurship, they are propelling the nation towards progress, equity and inclusivity. These stories of change are not just about breaking the glass ceiling but leaving behind a trail of inspiration for the next generation. Flipkart’s commitment to empowering women entrepreneurs has not just transformed individual lives but is reshaping the society, one story at a time.

As per a survey conducted amongst Anganwadi hubs in Delhi by an NGO Initiative for What Works to Advance Women and Girls in the Economy (IWWAGE), 84% of the families are supportive, while 72% said they would be permitted to travel outside their homes to avail of training programmes. However, over two-thirds of women who are keen to start their business, are stalled by childcare and domestic responsibilities. “This study highlights that women are eager to take up business endeavours, given some space, understanding and encouragement in the form of skill training, economic management along with others,” said <keyword id="14268720" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="neelanjana-gupta" source="Orion">Neelanjana Gupta</keyword>, project manager at IWWAGE. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Lack of financial support and skills" comment="subhead" text="Lack of financial support and skills">Lack of financial support and skills</cmsannotation> According to the report, the women have lack of clarity or information on what kind of business they can start; and don’t have the access to seed capital. They are well-versed digitally, as 7 out 10 know how to use mobile phones and have effective communication skills. As many as 76% of them have smartphones, and 78% have access to an internet connection. Also, 73% of the women have their own bank accounts, while 42% of them use them to avail government schemes and benefits. However, they lack knowledge about bank loans, interest rates or how to deposit or withdraw money from their accounts — which become hurdles for future entreprenuers. “Poor support networks, absence of mentors, and lack of access to information and communication technology are critical challenges faced by <keyword id="74945" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="women-entrepreneurs" source="Orion">women entrepreneurs</keyword>,” says the report. Most of them also do not possess the know-how to start a business. Yet, a lot of them are keen to acquire skills to engage in activities that will help improve their economic status. “It reflects that despite the lack of support from family and other gendered boundations, women in India are looking for ways to support themselves and their family along with seeking social independence,” said Gupta. Half the respondents of the survey expressed an interest in taking up stitching and sewing to earn an income, followed by pickle/papad making; and embroidery. “These preferences were similar across the board for entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs surveyed with 81% respondents also expressing a keen interest in learning skills that were not heard or known of,” the report said.

From 2002 to 2015, Albanese worked with major television networks to style celebrities ranging from Jimmy Kimmel to Kathy Griffin and stars of "The Bachelorette," she told Insider.Now, Albanese runs <a href="https://www.lindsayalbanese.com/">her own fashion brand</a> and often shares her <keyword id="7087965" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="style-advice">style advice</keyword> on <a href="https://www.lindsayalbanese.com/">her TikTok account</a>. Her videos have been liked more than 10 million times at the time of writing.Albanese spoke to Insider about the top three style hacks that she says make her life easier.<h2>Place a sock over your steamer to prevent it from leaking</h2><div type="image" title="Lindsay Albanese sock over steamer" height="1425" width="1900" msid="82814003" hostid="261"></div>In a video that has been viewed over one million times since April 16, Albanese shared her hack for <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@bylindsayalbanese/video/6962947814645140741?referer_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.insider.com%2F&amp;referer_video_id=6962947814645140741&amp;refer=embed&amp;is_copy_url=1&amp;is_from_webapp=v1s_from_webapp=v1">preventing a steamer from spitting water</a> all over your nice clothes: Place a clean sock over it. "When you steam, the sock catches the water, and it doesn't get on your clothes," Albanese says in the video.Albanese told Insider that the "little tweak" to the process has made her life easier since it "prevents water spots from getting on your clothes."<h2>Use a hair iron to press slightly wrinkled shirts</h2><div type="image" title="Lindsay Albanese hair iron hack" height="1425" width="1900" msid="82814004" hostid="261"></div>To <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@bylindsayalbanese/video/6932301497237556486?referer_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.insider.com%2F&amp;referer_video_id=6932301497237556486&amp;refer=embeder=embed">get wrinkles out of your shirt</a>, you don't necessarily need to heat up a full-size iron, as Albanese showed in this video from February 20. To save time, Albanese uses a flat hair iron on her clothes, she told Insider."It's a great quick fix for little wrinkles," she said.Albanese said you should make sure that the iron is "not scalding hot," and that all you need to do is run the iron along the edge of a shirt a few times to remove wrinkles. This hack "has saved me a million times," she said.<h2>Stack skirt hangers on top of each other to save closet space</h2><div type="image" title="Lindsay Albanese skirt hack" height="1425" width="1900" msid="82814005" hostid="261"></div>Skirt hangers can take up quite a bit of space in the closet, but they don't need to, according to Albanese. The style expert demonstrated <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@bylindsayalbanese/video/6897760000198872326?is_copy_url=1&amp;is_from_webapp=v1p=v1">a space-saving hack for storing hangers</a> in this video posted on November 21. If there are holes at the top of your skirt hanger near the base of the hook, you can use the holes to link the hangers vertically, she says in the video. Albanese learned this hack, which she said is known as the "waterfall effect," while working in small dressing rooms, she told Insider. "It's actually really brilliant," she said. "So instead of stacking 10 hangers horizontally, you can vertically hang them depending on how tall your closet is."
