What I truly admire about the Ladies Wing is their commitment to nurturing the entrepreneurial spirit of women, empowering them to start their own businesses and thrive as successful entrepreneurs. The growth I’ve witnessed from 1987 to now has been remarkable, and it’s inspiring to see how this platform has uplifted women across the country, providing them the opportunity to showcase their talent and hard work.”
She added, “I want to congratulate the many women who began with small, home-based ventures and have transformed them into significant enterprises. I also want to acknowledge the dedication of Chairperson Ishita Jain, President Jyoti Doshi and Co-Chairperson Radhika Kaji. Their hard work this year is sure to lead to great outcomes. As I walk through the exhibition today, I hope everyone here, as well as those watching, will come out to support these inspiring women. Let’s continue to encourage one another and nurture that same entrepreneurial spirit in our communities. Thank you for having me here today.”
