FLO Amritsar, under the leadership of Chairperson Mona Singh, organised a focused engagement at the MSME Office, Ludhiana. 20 FLO Amritsar members participated in an insightful dialogue with Ms. Ishita Thaman, Deputy Director, Ministry of MSME, aimed at bridging grassroots entrepreneurship with national MSME schemes.
Organised under FLO’s Startup & MSME Support vertical, the session provided members direct access to government insights and actionable guidance. Ms. Thaman shared a detailed overview of MSME registration benefits, funding opportunities, and training schemes, encouraging women to actively participate in formal MSME structures.
The event sparked clarity and motivation among members to register under MSME, strengthening FLO’s network with the Ministry and reinforcing its role in women-led economic empowerment. Ms. Thaman praised FLO Amritsar’s grassroots outreach and pledged continued support.
Following the dialogue, FLO Amritsar partnered with the MSME Department to launch capacity-building programs starting August 2025, including 1-day and 5-day workshops and a dedicated MSME event to accelerate women’s entrepreneurial participation.
This engagement marked a strategic step in FLO’s mission to empower through access, awareness, and action—opening practical pathways for women to thrive in India’s formal business ecosystem.”
