More Than Work: Women‐Led Cooperatives in Action
Breaking Barriers in Business
In India's low‐income communities, women rarely get the chance to manage finances, oversee quality control, or run a supply chain. Most businesses owned by women are small‐scale street vending.
Growing Beyond Embroidery
Many artisans join cooperatives to earn, but those with drive and talent take on more. With training from MarketPlace staff, they develop leadership skills, advancing both personally and professionally.
Strength Through Unity
Disagreements are natural in any business, but working through challenges strengthens the group. As Shivkumari Prajapati of Prerna Cooperative shares, “We were all different, but we had gone through the same change and had to fight together to make it a good change. Now we stand by each other because of that bond.”

Also great for younger women too.
