औरत ही है जो बुनती है, तिनका तिनका चुनकर अपना आसमान गढ़ती है… Women in Bharat aren’t just participants—they are driving Bharat’s retail revolution, one store at a time. Today, women make up only 35.9% of the workforce, yet they are the backbone of over 12 million kirana stores across the country. 20% of businesses are already women-owned, and by 2030, this will rise to 30%—bringing a 1.5 percentage point boost in GDP. The potential is immense, and India can’t afford to wait. We’ve seen this transformation firsthand. Like a woman entrepreneur from Ghazipur who didn’t just assist in her family’s kirana store—she built her own thriving business, selling locally flavored processed foods like pasta and noodles. Her products flew off the shelves, turning her into a local success story. Yet, challenges remain—safety concerns, financial barriers, limited access to networks. These roadblocks can slow progress, but they won’t stop it. As Gita Gopinath (Deputy Managing Director, IMF) puts it—women’s safety is "non-negotiable and crucial" for unlocking their full potential. At ApnaKlub, we don’t just acknowledge these challenges—we take action. We equip women with the tools, capital, and networks to grow their businesses and build their futures. Take Anita Singh’s journey, for example: She started as a picker-packer at Amazon and then moved into customer servicing at ApnaKlub. With the right opportunities and support, she didn’t just grow—she thrived. Today, she’s an inspiration, proving that when women get access to opportunities, they break barriers and redefine success. We’re not just building a business; we’re building a community of changemakers—where women lead, create, and shape the future of retail. Because when women rise, Bharat rises with them. #WomenInRetail #BharatGrowth #ApnaKlub #IWD #Womensday

Some rooms remind you of the responsibility you carry. Griffin Retreat 2025 was one of them. With CM Yogi Adityanath Ji and industry leaders, one thing was clear—UP is backing startups that solve real problems. The momentum is real, and the numbers speak for themselves: 📌 UP = India’s fastest-growing startup hub → 14,000+ DPIIT-recognized startups driving fintech, e-commerce, agritech & deeptech. 📌 49% of UP’s startups are women-led → but only 13% get funded. The gap is real, and we need more private capital to bridge it. 📌 Rural internet penetration surged 10x → AI, agritech & digital commerce are reshaping MSMEs and small retailers, the backbone of India’s economy. 📌 Mass India is deeply connected to its roots → Technology must empower retailers, not undermine them. Predatory models will erode trust and hurt real businesses and families. At ApnaKlub, we believe in building for Bharat—creating a level playing field where small retailers thrive, not just survive. Now’s the time to build, scale, and own the future—responsibly. CM Office, GoUP, Inc42 Media , Shruti Shruti #WomenInLeadership #UPStartups #RetailGrowth #BuildingForBharat
