Summary: Mrs Manjiri Arde decided to venture into a business where very few Maharastrians had ventured. The cloth market was all dominated by Sindhis, Marwadis and Gujratis. Still Manjiri Arde dared to enter this market and that too in early 80s when the biggest ambition of women from middle class families would be to take up a government job. It was rare for a women to start her own business and then do it fulltime. She started with a bagfull of cloths and now owns a lavish 3 storey showroom. She belives you do not need Capital, Market or even formal training to start and be successful in a business what you need is focused hardwork, honesty, forsight, patiance and decision making ability. By keeping a all women staff she is helping other women to be indipendent in their lives.
