Deepthi Ravula along with the women entrepreneurs from the first cohort also met the IT Minister, KT Rama Rao. “I am super proud to recognize these remarkable women, the entrepreneurs of tomorrow. Through Project Ujaagar, these successful women receive seed funding to shape our economy’s future,” he said.
Five women were granted financial support of Rs. 1 lakh provided by the Minority Welfare Department.
“We’ve observed that businesses led by women often lack proper registration, financial literacy, accounting skills, and tools to enhance their operations. Ujaagar aims to tackle these challenges and by offering this program, we aspire to create a robust community of founders who can learn from each other and grow together,” said Deepthi.
The core objective of the program is to uplift the socio-economic conditions of the minority community’s infrastructure and create inclusive opportunities for women.
