Srujna: Unlocking the Power of Indian Women
Meet The Speaker
I am a social entrepreneur, passionate about creating an army of women workforce in India. With the belief that women have the power to transform communities at large, I strongly believe in heavily investing in women. Professionally I head Srujna, a not for profit transforming women's groups into enterprises that make and sell handmade products.
Prior to co-founding and leading Srujna, I worked as a lecturer at SNDT women's university where I came across the model of vocational education and training, short term courses leading to the creation of work opportunities. There I learnt and conceptualised the idea of having an NGO, creating work for women who have limited or no literacy and struggling to do full time fixed employment.
With a background in psychology and social entrepreneurship, my focus has been bringing sustainable change and to be a global changemaker.
My extensive love for traveling takes me far and wide to study social change models, increasing my depth of knowledge about the impact models across the globe.
Fortunately, I have won a lot of national and international recognition for my work at Srujna, which has given me insights and mentorship from world experts.
