All of 19, Seethala Karipineni works to create job opportunities for the downtrodden around her. “I started Saka Organics on social media in 2020 during the lockdown. It was in school that I was familiarised with the concept of soap-making as a livelihood project, where we would employ the housekeeping department by training them to make soap and sell them. Once done with school, I began doing it back at home.” Today, Seethala has five women, who previously had no source of income. They make clean, quality soaps, whose products she helps sell well. “I think it is fulfilling to be able to employ somebody who hadn’t been able to earn a livelihood otherwise.”
Women entrepreneurs have been taking centre stage in all that they’re stepping foot into.
