31-year-old Ammu, a talented tailor from Trishur, and her sister, a gifted fashion designer, form an unbeatable team. Alongside her full-time job as an Assistant Manager, where she earns INR 53K monthly, Ammu pours her heart into sewing. Starting their tailoring venture wasn’t just about money — it was a blend of love and passion, a project they passionately pursued in their free time.
“We believed in creating a touch of uniqueness in every design,” shares Ammu, reflecting on the inception of their tailoring venture. Beginning humbly, Ammu invested her soul in every stitch, crafting designs that quickly captured the town’s attention.
But every success story faces challenges, and Ammu’s was no different.
The duo faced a capital crunch when their business started booming. Demand soared, but the means to meet it lagged. “We needed to expand, to invest in more machines and bring in more hands. But the financial hurdle was significant,” admits Ammu. That’s when Mahila Money Loan came into play, marking a turning point in their entrepreneurial journey.
With a business loan of INR 1.5L from Mahila Money, they acquired new machines and expanded their team, just in time for the bustling wedding and festive seasons. The newfound vigour transformed their business, allowing them to cater to a broader clientele with diverse design preferences. “We were able to cater to more customers and fulfil their unique design requests,” says Ammu’s sister. “Seeing our business grow and flourish was an amazing feeling.”
The impact of this transformation was profound. Their customer base skyrocketed, and their designs gained even more admiration. The increase in production led to a significant surge in monthly earnings, doubling their income from a modest INR 30K to an impressive INR 60K.
Today, Ammu and her sister stand as the epitome of entrepreneurial success, inspiring women around them to chase their dreams.
As Ammu sums it up, “Our entrepreneurial journey echoes the spirit of ‘Chak De! India.’ We faced challenges head-on, working relentlessly to achieve our dreams. With determination, dreams do become a reality.”
