With an aim to fulfil Indian women's aspirations of embarking on an entrepreneurial journey and gaining financial independence, the biscuit manufacturer, in 2019 initiated the "Britannia Marie Gold My Startup" project where 10 homemakers with entrepreneurial ideas are awarded seed capital of Rs 10 lakh each to kick-start their business ventures. It recently held a virtual press conference to announce the winners of the second edition of the competition.
The current edition of the initiative also provides 10,000 homemakers access to customized online skill development program, in partnership with National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC).
The edition saw over 1.5 million applications from across the country within a span of three months, out of which only 50 finalists were chosen.
