Women Entrepreneurs

 Two Women Entrepreneur from Nagpur region, also alumni of the Goldman Sachs 10000 women entrepreneur program (10000women.org) , Mrs. Shachi Mallick and Ms. Chetna Ingle took their  ISB lessons one step forward and jointly opened their own showroom in Ramnagar, Nagpur.

Shachi Mallick is a manufacturer of all Aloe Vera products and Chetna Ingle is the manufacturer of all kinds of fabric bags (www.facebook.com/aphroditescollection). They both met at the ISB program and clicked immediately. The passion they shared for their independent businesses brought them even closer. With each others support and support from their family members, they thoroughly believed that opening their own store would expose their businesses to prospective clients in a whole new way.

Without wasting much time and with minimal investment, they made up an apartment, that Chetna's parents owned and turned it into a beautiful mini shop.




Hoping to create many more such stores, they plan on taking mini yet steady steps gradually. Here is wishing them all the best.
