Women Entrepreneurs’ Consortium
Women Entrepreneurs’ Consortium An initiative of MINDS Trust, the Women Entrepreneurs’ Consortium (WEC) is dedicated to empowering women across various domains and fostering sustainable livelihoods. We began our journey in Madambakkam, Chennai, with a vision to establish chapters every 5 kilometres, bringing together women entrepreneurs to form supportive communities focused on collective business growth.
This approach aims to enhance the livelihoods and economic stability of local communities while nurturing new entrepreneurs from the age of 18. Our efforts extend beyond community engagement; we also prioritize the development of young women in higher education. We encourage college students to acquire practical skills such as nail art, mehndi, or Aari work, enabling them to earn while they study.
WEC provides vocational training programs specifically designed for women from low-income backgrounds.
Our training covers a wide range of fields, including:
Candle, Agarbathi, and Incense stick making
Phenyl and detergent production
Tailoring & Embroidery
Masala powder, pickle, and jam making
Beekeeping
Mushroom Cultivation
Rabbit rearing
Basket weaving
Fibre extraction
At the end of our vocational training programs, we award certificates to all participants. Additionally, WEC offers support to help candidates secure MSME loans to kickstart their businesses. We also organize exhibition stalls where candidates can showcase and sell their products.
Our upcoming Women Entrepreneur projects include:
- E-Food Cart
- E-Mobile Tailoring Units
- E-Mobile Beauty Parlour
- E-Mobile Pet Grooming Parlour
To assist with purchasing e-carts and starting their businesses, we facilitate access to eMudhra loans, PMEG loans, and other financial support through government banks.
Join us in empowering women and fostering entrepreneurship in your community!
