Naaripreneur - Entrepreneurship Program for Young Ladies

About

AIC-SKU Confederation proudly introduces Naaripreneur, an exclusive entrepreneurship program designed to empower young women from Anantapur and surrounding regions. This initiative aims to provide holistic training, mentorship, and business support, enabling women entrepreneurs to build scalable and sustainable enterprises in the food sector.

About Naaripreneur

The Naaripreneur Program addresses the gender gap in entrepreneurship, particularly in small towns where women have limited access to business opportunities. By offering specialized training and incubation support, the program equips women with the knowledge and skills to launch and scale their own businesses.
