Hear from our past Participants
Grateful to the शक्ति team for their incredible support in uplifting entrepreneurs. I’d love to see more networking and mentorship opportunities in future editions. Thank you for this enriching experience—I’m excited to stay connected and watch the शक्ति initiative thrive!
Empowering women, enabling change! Enable the शक्ति has truly sparked transformative growth and self-belief. I'm grateful to be one of the many inspired—thank you, Enable the शक्ति !
Participating in Pune’s Enable the शक्ति was a truly rewarding experience. Showcasing my homemade treats and receiving such warm encouragement meant the world to me. The event opened doors to new opportunities, including a future stall for my cookies. A big thank you to the organizers for building a platform that genuinely uplifts small businesses and entrepreneurs like me.
