FLO Pune, under the leadership of Chairperson Ms. Poonam Kochhar, facilitated an opportunity for women entrepreneurs to showcase their products and explore business growth opportunities through Shikha’s Karigiri, supported by the Government’s MSME Department.
As part of this initiative, 16 FLO members were allotted stalls at an exhibition featuring over 200 stalls, providing a platform to promote their products, enhance market visibility and connect with potential customers. The initiative also highlighted the importance of Udyam registration and increased awareness of government support and schemes available to MSME-registered entrepreneurs.
Organised under FLO Pune’s MSME and Handloom & Textile verticals, the initiative reflected the chapter’s commitment to strengthening women-led enterprises, supporting artisans and promoting traditional skills. The programme encouraged women entrepreneurs to leverage institutional support, explore new markets and build sustainable businesses. The initiative was supported by MSME Vertical Heads Gayatri, Surabhi and Noopur, along with Handloom & Textile Vertical Heads Pooja C and Snehal P.
16 FLO members received a platform to showcase their products, promote their businesses and explore opportunities under the MSME framework. The initiative strengthened awareness of government support mechanisms and reinforced FICCI FLO Pune’s commitment to enabling women entrepreneurs to expand their market reach and achieve sustainable business growth.
