Mumbai's Premier Women-Led Showcase Returns in Grand Style

Mumbai, 11 August 2025 – The 38th edition of the Women Entrepreneurs' Exhibition, organised by the Ladies' Wing of the IMC Chamber of Commerce and Industry, lit up Mumbai with a spectacular celebration of women-led enterprise. More than an exhibition, this was a powerful statement on creativity, commerce, and purpose, showcasing the best of India's women entrepreneurs.

With 286 visionary entrepreneurs from 31 cities, many making their debut without a retail presence, the platform offered a rare opportunity to discover brands that blend originality with authenticity. This celebration aligns with the growing trend of evolving Indian luxury buyers exploring key trends. Guests explored:

 

  • Gourmet food crafted with passion
  • High fashion collections from emerging designers
  • Lifestyle and artisanal creations
  • Sustainable innovations shaping conscious consumerism

The exhibition honoured India's living heritage, featuring master artisans, traditional weavers, and handcrafted treasures from NGOs in Siliguri, Ganeshpuri (Palghar), Sujangarh, and Shekhawati, each preserving cultural legacy with integrity and pride. This dedication to traditional craftsmanship reflects the broader movement of celebrating Indian fashion and heritage.

In her address, Manushi Chhillar remarked:

"This is not just an exhibition, it's a celebration of women who dare to dream and work relentlessly to make those dreams come true. Women entrepreneurs build with empathy, purpose, and heart, setting an example for young girls to believe in the possibilities of their dreams."

Rajyalakshmi Rao reflected on her presidential theme Evolve to Excel, calling it "a rallying cry for every woman to embrace change, meet challenges head-on, and move forward with courage." This theme resonates with the ongoing narrative of celebrating women entrepreneurs who dare to look beyond.

An Artistic Theme – Raja Ravi Varma
