MSME SuperPower: Positivity

Weaving embroidered dupattas into a multi-crore business

Kajal Makwana

Co-Founder, Harshiv enterprise, Surat, Gujarat

A few years ago, I developed a new women’s fashion product: a net-embroidered dupatta. I began selling it on Flipkart and was delighted when it took off and started trending. Unfortunately, a host of players quickly ripped off my beautiful design and began eating into my market share.

Building the future while honouring the past

Weaving a thread of prosperity online

Hitesh Kumar

Founder, Shri Balaji Online Store, Panipat, Haryana

I had big dreams when I left my hometown of Alwar, Rajasthan, in 2005. But after eight years working in IT, I found that my career wasn’t giving me the satisfaction I was seeking when I first came to Panipat for work. So I found an even bigger dream: I would start my own business.

Women can change the world

Aruna Dara

It was great to meet again in 2016.
