She Accelerates The Economy
Entrepreneurship is the ability and readiness to develop, organize and run a business enterprise, along with all of its uncertainties in order to make a profit.
According to Government of India – “A woman entrepreneur is defined as an enterprise owned and controlled by a woman having a minimum financial interest of 51 percent of the capital and giving at least 51 percent of the employment generated in the enterprise to women.”
Over 1/3rd of the entrepreneurial ventures is run by woman entrepreneurs. In this golden age of globalization due to economic progress, better access to education, urbanization, spread of liberal and democratic culture and recognition by society, there has been a spurt in woman entrepreneurship in India. Today’s women entrepreneurs do not come only from the established business families or from the higher-income sections of the population, they come from all walks of life and from all parts of the country.
Our tagline ‘She accelerates economy’ emphasizes on how women entrepreneurs contribute to a country's economic growth and stability. Women entrepreneurs in India provide direct employment to around 22 to 27 million people.
In the present scenario women entrepreneurship is very important for economic growth of our country. It does not only contribute to improve women situation in the society but also helps to improve economic situation of country.
“In whatever you do, you’re not going to stand out unless you think big and have ideas that are truly original.”
Our founder-president Shri Shripadji Kulkarni realised the need for a platform that aims to address the bottlenecks faced by both aspiring and established women entrepreneurs by streamlining information across government and private sector schemes and initiatives. Hence Women Wing was formed.
BBN Global launched the Women Wing Platform, which serves as a hub for aspiring and established Brahmin women entrepreneurs across the country. BBNG’s Women Wing encourages women entrepreneurs to share their entrepreneurial journeys, fears and challenges in business, stories, and experiences in order to foster mutual learning, in addition to providing services such as mentorship, apprenticeship, and corporate partnerships.
I have so much to be thankful for! As the head of Women Wing, I am grateful for the platform and opportunity that are put forth. Since its inception, the Women Wing has evolved and grown, and there are now more than 200 users. Currently, the platform plays a critical role in boosting the entrepreneurial ecosystem, bringing all stakeholders together, and delivering impact through partner offerings and services. Given the disparities in women's labour-force participation and women's ownership of MSMEs, as well as the asymmetry in information available, the role of Women Wing has never been more important. I invite and welcome all the Brahmin Women Entrepreneurs to join this vibrant platform to accelerate and fuel personal and national economy!
