In the bustling bylanes of Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, 43-year-old Pankaj Devi and her assistant run a fashion boutique in one of the rooms of her house. Married to a police officer, Pankaj, a mother of three is an enthusiastic entrepreneur determined to build a flourishing business.

Driven by her burning passion for fashion, Pankaj established her boutique business almost six years ago.

“My customers provide the cloth material and I turn them into garments as per requirement. My stitching charges range from INR 200 to INR 500 making it reasonable enough for customers to place their orders. However, the absence of a pico machine and essential stitching materials which delayed the delivery process, forced customers to place their orders with competitor boutiques,” says Pankaj.

Undeterred by setbacks, Pankaj refused to settle for mediocrity. Understanding that the required materials would elevate her craft to new heights, she turned to Mahila Money, placing her trust in their commitment to financially assisting women.

Mahila Money approved Pankaj’s business loan application, providing her with INR 10k and the means to acquire the coveted pico machine and a complete range of stitching materials.

This transformative investment breathed life into her dreams, enabling her to timely cater to the diverse needs of her customers.

Assigned by the financial resources at her disposal, she wove together garments with unparalleled precision and artistry. Her customers started getting their orders delivered well before time along with Pankaj’s exquisite craftsmanship and personalised touch infused into each creation. In a stunning turn of events, Pankaj’s monthly earnings skyrocketed from INR 10k-12k to INR 18k-20k.

The Mahila Money loan not only stitched Pankaj’s boutique but also ignited a spark of financial independence within her. Pankaj informs, “With remarkable diligence, I paid all my EMIs surpassing expectations, even repaid the loan on time. This achievement fills my heart with a profound sense of pride.”

Mahila Money is proud of Pankaj as she dares to pursue her business passion with her #JiyoApneDumPe attitude. As Pankaj continues to illuminate the realm of fashion with her commitment, she remains eternally grateful to Mahila Money.
