A day in the life of: A woman entrepreneur
Running a business is hard, but running a business during the lockdown is even harder. A woman entrepreneur from Pune shows us how it is done.
Roopali Pavnikar is an entrepreneur who runs a T-shirt manufacturing enterprise in Pune, Maharashtra. She initially set up her tailoring business to help support her family after an unexpected medical emergency. With a small loan from Mann Deshi, she bought her first sewing machine. As Roopali's business grew, she scaled up her work and today she designs and manufactures T-shirts and other sports clothing. She is the recipient of the prestigious Mann Deshi Udyogini (business woman) Award and regularly mentors hundreds of aspiring entrepreneurs.
