Parnika rolls out women’s support program to over 10,000 entrepreneurs

Surat-based manufacturer and exporter of women’s ethnic wear Parnika India has worked to support over 10,000 women entrepreneurs through its ‘Women Support Program.’ Having aided women in setting up home-based businesses with minimal investment, the business now aims to scale up the initiative. 

“As manufacturers, we have a unique opportunity to extend wholesale pricing and low-investment business models to women who wish to start from scratch,” said Parnika India’s managing director Vishal Pacheriwal in a press release. “Our model ensures healthy profit margins even with minimal capital, allowing women to start lean but scale effectively. We’ve seen homemakers evolve into confident business owners with steady monthly incomes; their stories are a testament to what’s possible when intent meets the right opportunity.”

Designed to support homemakers, working mothers, and aspiring entrepreneurs, the programme provides training in business development, time management, social media marketing, and digital customer engagement. Participants are also given access to wholesale pricing, low-investment models, and a range of ready-to-use marketing tools.

The initiative has led to measurable gains in digital literacy, financial independence, and local influence, according to Parnika. Looking ahead, the company plans to scale the programme to reach over 100,000 women entrepreneurs by 2030, aligning with its broader mission to promote inclusive entrepreneurship.
