Indore (Madhya Pradesh): “Entrepreneurship is a source of innovation. Creativity means to come up with new ideas, concepts, processes and products. When women are at the forefront of entrepreneurship, innovation is enhanced, productivity surges, creativity expands and the economy ultimately grows,” said expert women entrepreneurs at an event organised for women entrepreneurs by the Indore Management Association (IMA). A Business Idea Competition for Women Entrepreneurs was also held.
The common expression of the speakers was that a female entrepreneur is a woman who takes on the risks and responsibilities of being an entrepreneur. Women contribute to entrepreneurship in many ways including, but not limited to, founding new businesses, developing innovative technologies, improving customer service practices, providing access to new markets, and so forth.
As a Happiness Coach, Aastha Tatia said that Happy Leaders create Happy Organisations. As one of the participants, she shared that she aimed at maintaining a balance between ecology and the economy. People have come up with handling our products with ancient wisdom and care, which, in turn, helped us bring the lost taste and nutrition back to the plate. She discussed a business model which is divided into three parts: education, retail and catering.
