Acropolis Mall took up a great initiative to promote first generation of women entrepreneurs and their efforts with the event- Blooming Kolkata.

The event was inaugurated by Debasish Sen, IAS, Additional Chief Secretary, Govt of West Bengal and Chairman, HIDCO, Sushil Mohta, Chairman, Merlin Group and Saket Mohta, Managing Director, Merlin Group.

Saket Mohta mentioned that this friendly platform was encouraged to support start up companies especially with women entrepreneurs in West Bengal.

Blooming Kolkata showcased products by female start ups. They exhibited the products and sold it directly to the customers.

A recent study has shown that female led companies have performed 63 percent better than their male counterparts.

Some of the participants at the event were Aparna Dhar, Deblina Saha, Trishita Banerjee, Piyali Chakraborty, Crystal Fang, Shradha’s Bong and others.

With such initiatives by Merlin Group just before the advent of the Mother Goddess, women empowerment will get a boost for sure.
