L-Commerce development programme to be launched on 8th March for Women entrepreneurship

A unique women entrepreneurship programme has been launched by the local commerce platform, eSamudaay, to enable energetic, active and aspiring young women to open and handle independent e-commerce marketplaces in small towns of India.

According to a release the women entrepreneurs will be provided with a duration of four months of incubation, business mentorship, credit facilities, and free access to software worth ₹1 lakh, in order to enable them to establish horizontal e-commerce marketplaces in their home towns.

“The women entrepreneurship training programme will be started on 8th March the International Women’s Day; it looks for creating active participation of woman entrepreneurs in setting up decentralized Local Commerce (L-Commerce) companies,” added the release.

The programme will back up the aspiring woman entrepreneurs providing technology, cash, system credits, and business mentoring to them to set up autonomous companies operating multi-seller, multi-category e-commerce marketplaces in their hometowns. This is expected to create more employment opportunities in tier 2 and 3 cities with special focus on empowering women sellers and producers.

From among the all the aspiring entrepreneurs who apply for the project, a sum of 10 applicants will be selected as winners. Through this initiative, eSamudaay aims to create a network of over 1000 women LCommerce entrepreneurs across India as part of its ambitious digital democracy plans, the release expressed.
