A delegation of VIA Lady Entrepreneurs’ Wing (VIALEW), led by Chairperson Rashmi Kulkarni, recently visited the Association of Lady Entrepreneurs of India (ALEAP) Industrial Park in Hyderabad. This pioneering initiative, designed exclusively for women entrepreneurs, has reinforced the need for a similar facility in Nagpur, enabling women-led businesses to grow and contribute to Maharashtra’s industrial development. The VIALEW team engaged with ALEAP leadership and entrepreneurs to explore the park’s development model, infrastructure, funding mechanisms, and support services. The delegation included LEW EC members - Dr Anita Rao, Vandana Sharma, Poonam Lala, Manisha Bawankar, Chitra Parate, Shikha Khare, Poonam Gupta, Amandeep, Y Ramani, Yogita Deshmukh, Indu Kshirsagar, and Tejal Rakshamwar, who played a crucial role in advocating for this initiative.
