How Prakritik Swad Empowers Women in Rural India

At its core, Prakritik Swad is a platform for female entrepreneurship and empowerment. As research indicates, approximately 65% of women in India live in rural areas, often with limited access to formal employment opportunities. This is the precise challenge our brand was created to address.

Today, she leads a team of talented local women, crafting handcrafted sun-dried pickles that reach kitchens across the country.

Through this work, these women gain financial independence, confidence, and pride. They're not just earning; they are building a sense of agency, preserving the rich culinary traditions of Indian households and redefining their roles within their communities.
