Frontier Markets’ transformative work in empowering rural #womenentrepreneurs received a remarkable spotlight, as its journey was shared through the Prime Minister of India, honourable Narendra Modi Ji’s. This recognition is a tribute to the 35,000+ Sahelis (women entrepreneurs) driving economic growth in their #communities, the partners who believe in this vision, and the millions of rural customers gaining better access to essential products and services. With its #AI-driven Meri Saheli App, Frontier Markets is building #India’s largest rural commerce platform, enabling #women to set up digital dukaans (shops) and unlock new income opportunities. On a mission to empower 1 million rural women by 2030, the initiative aims to impact 50 million families by ensuring no household is more than 15 minutes away from essential goods and services. More power to our member (Frontier Markets) and Ajaita S. We are pleased to have you in our network! #RuralEmpowerment #DigitalIndia #AVPNmember
I took over Prime Minister Modi Ji's X handle on this International Women's Day! Today, I had the incredible honor of taking over the honorable Narendra Modi Ji's X's handle to reflect and share the transformative journey of Frontier Markets in empowering rural women entrepreneurs, and share what it means to truly empower rural women as valuable assets for resilient and sustainable economic development. This recognition is not just for me or Frontier Markets —it is really for the 35,000+ Sahelis (women entrepreneurs) who have been leading economic growth in their communities, for the partners and organizations that have believed in our vision, and for the millions of rural customers who now have better access to essential products and services for over the last decade. At Frontier Markets, we are building India’s largest AI-driven rural commerce platform, Meri Saheli App, enabling women to become digital dukaans and unlocking new income and economic opportunities for millions of households at the last mile. Our vision is to empower every rural woman in India to deliver essential products and services to every rural household so that no individual has to travel for more than 15 minutes. We're on track to empower 1 million rural women entrepreneurs by 2030, directly impacting 50 million rural families, access essential products and services through our powerful AI-enabled rural commerce stack and network of over 210+ partners (welcoming new partners!). A heartfelt thank you to PM Modi Ji and the Government of India for their unwavering commitment to women’s empowerment.
