The Chief Executive Officer of Zivame, Amisha Jain has been named the Woman Entrepreneur of the Year and felicitated for her significant contribution to building India’s leading women’s intimate-wear destination and catapulting the business to great heights.
At a function held in Bangalore, Chief Minister of Karnataka Basavaraj Somappa Bommai and FICCI FLO Bangalore felicitated Ms. Jain. The event took place during a discussion organized by FICCI FLO Bangalore around “Karnataka – A destination for women entrepreneurs” held on late Monday. The Chief Minister elaborated on the strengths of women, the organizations they lead, and their impact on society and the economy.
Ms. Jain, a firm believer of “One Team, One Voice” and an authentic equalist, believes that women have the strength to be who they are and this helps in building a challenging yet exciting category like intimate wear. On the occasion, she said: “It’s a great honour and privilege to have received this recognition. Zivame has been a journey of passion and purpose. For many on the outside it’s the largest intimate wear women’s destination but for our team it’s a cause. We are on a mission to provide comfort and confidence to every Indian woman as she chooses to dream and achieve what she once hesitated.”
She further added, “We are grateful to a great ecosystem of Karnataka that has enabled us in many ways than one. More importantly allowed us to hire the best workforce all the way from best minds in Tech and data sciences to great designers and field staff. Here’s to many more women entrepreneurs and leaders coming out of Karnataka.”
Zivame has played a pivotal role in transforming the face of intimate wear in India and in making the category more approachable and mainstream.
The chairperson of FICCI FLO- Bangalore, Revathi Raju commented, “We felicitated Ms Amisha Jain for being an inspiration for social entrepreneurship. A business leader, she is much touted for her ability to bring around transformational change in organizations and has always been extremely passionate about building ‘innovation-led’ consumer-centric brands.
