Amit Jain, CEO and Co-founder of CarDekho Group, is a staunch advocate of women’s empowerment and constantly extends his support to nurture female-led businesses. Over the years, he has extended his guidance and financial backing to numerous women entrepreneurs like Payal Jain of Funngro, Parul Sharma of Gladful, Geetika Anand Gupta of MOPP Foods, Parul Gulati of Nish Hair, Aishwarya and Minakshi Jhawar of Ekatra, Esha Shah of Maisha, Anuva Kakkar of Tiggle, Swathi Sri of A Toddler Thing, Shweta Poddar of CandidMen, Veena Mittal of Creme Castle, Shashi Raturi of Namakwali, and Rimjhim Deka of LittleBox, among others.
Amit’s support and strategic guidance in these female-led businesses have yielded remarkable results, fostering a transformative growth trajectory. Collectively, the women led brands in season 2, mainly Gladful, MOPP Foods, Nish Hair, Ekatra, Maisha, Funngro, amongst others – have experienced a staggering 4X average growth in their monthly revenues.
“Empowering women isn’t just about celebrating them on one day, it’s about uplifting them every day and creating a world where gender equality is the norm. As per the industry reports, nearly 20% of enterprises in India are owned by women. However, despite the progress, there remains a substantial gender employment gap. We are dedicated to bridge this gap by investing in and nurturing businesses led by dynamic women entrepreneurs. We remain committed to foster a New Bharat 2.0 where gender equality is not just an aspiration, but a reality and women are the face of entrepreneurship,” emphasized Amit Jain, Co-founder, and CEO of CarDekho Group.
Going beyond just funding, Amit’s role has been instrumental in helping these businesses to navigate strategically by adapting to the market needs. His regular mentorship, in-person guidance, and support through enabling the ecosystem has proven invaluable in the upskilling of these women entrepreneurs.
