Sakshamsakhi Women Producer Company Limited

We are a group of women from Sangrwa village working together. Our place is easy to find because it’s right on Ranoli Road, not far from the Canara Bank branch. Most of us have lived here our whole lives. We decided to start this company to help ourselves and other women in the village get more out of our work. It’s mostly agricultural stuff, whatever is in season. We don't have a big fancy office with air conditioning. We just use a small building where we can meet and store our products. It gets a bit crowded when everyone shows up at once. We talk about the crops and the prices and how to manage everything better. It’s not always easy balancing this with our work at home, but we manage. Sometimes the kids are running around while we work. We aren't trying to be some big corporation. We just want to make sure our families are taken care of. If you walk down the road toward the bank, you’ll likely see some of us busy with something or other. We help each other out when someone falls behind. It’s a community thing as much as a business. We don't use big words or have long meetings. We just decide what needs doing and we do it. That’s how we’ve always done things in Sangrwa.
