A defining feature of India’s transformation in recent years has been the growing role of women as leaders of change.
Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the approach has moved beyond women’s development to women-led development – where women are not just beneficiaries, but key drivers of economic growth. And this vision has found strong resonance across diverse fields.
Today, Nari Shakti is emerging as a powerful force powering India’s growth story.
Building on this momentum, the Womaniya Initiative on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) is creating new pathways for women entrepreneurs and self-help groups to access one of the country’s largest markets – public procurement.
By enabling direct access to government buyers, ensuring transparency, and reducing dependence on intermediaries, Womaniya is turning enterprise into opportunity and opportunity into empowerment.
The impact is already visible—lakhs of women entrepreneurs coming onto the platform, rising order volumes, and most importantly, growing confidence and financial independence at the grassroots.
From village-level Self Help Groups to small enterprises, women are not just participating—they are leading, scaling, and shaping India’s economic future.
So, how is Womaniya transforming lives on the ground? What more can be done to deepen and expand this impact?
We’ll explore some of these aspects and more on this broadcast.
