About Aatmanirbharta
Falguni Bansal here. Now that I am free from my responsibilities, my goal is to support women who have a spark in them to do something in life.
And so, to begin with, I am currently mentoring and supporting my young dedicated Yoga teacher Ragini Pandey (who helped me to improve my health issues ) in her journey towards becoming an independent entrepreneur.
My involvement includes assisting her with how to sell her village products and source products from other villages, creating branding and marketing strategies, connecting with people and building confidence to manage, navigate challenges, and expand.
The objective is not only to help her generate sustainable income but also to encourage self-reliance and inspire other women within the community. Seeing her evolve from a dedicated yoga teacher and dive into a new venture is a rewarding journey.
While I have never run a business, I am a गृहिणी from a business family, so I learned certain things by default. With what I know, alongside guidance from friends and relatives, I am able to do this.
Through this collaborative effort, we aim to preserve traditional skills, create livelihood opportunities, and contribute to inclusive economic growth. This initiative reflects a commitment to women’s empowerment, entrepreneurship development, and community welfare.
Through ventures like Mitti ka Swaad, Sun Kissed Threads and Niara Artifacts, we aim to promote tribal art, गाँव की मट्टी – परंपरा का स्वाद and the challenge of Loom vs. Weavers.
We are motivated by the belief that when a woman succeeds in business, she creates opportunities for many others around her.
