Introducing Rashmi Dhariwal, a multifaceted personality of an entrepreneur and a social activist! An engineer by qualification, she previously worked for 11 years with a prestigious Corporate before starting her own social enterprise. She is among the list of 100 most successful Indian women entrepreneurs in MSME. She was also selected for the top 20 “The Game changers- FICCI FLO Women Startup awards” in Feb-2021. She is also an eminent speaker & gives special lectures on Entrepreneurship and Sustainability at many MBA, Technical & Design institutes and has been a TEDx speaker too.

15 years ago, Rashmi was leading a comfortable life when she came in contact with an artisan community, who had expertise in hand weaving fine fabrics with intricate designs. The lack of access to market and technology-driven competition were taking their toll on the artisans. Their art was dying along with their spirits. She says: “That made me realize there was a lot more in life and that I should try to make a difference! There had to be a bigger purpose of my being.”

In her fray towards making the world a better place, Rashmi also founded a charitable Society called SETU-Society. The basic aim of the Society is to perform works of charity, implement social & economic welfare projects for the weaker sections of the society.
