It trains urban women in selfsustaining skills such as tailoring and embroidery. It also generates a source of income by creating a market for the homemade products. As Safa women create these products they are becoming agents of change – respected by community, family and themselves. Now, the self awakening question… What can we do, in one month, for them? Help them with little money?? Help them with their work??? or Help them with their products??? and so on. The team worked towards generating sustainable leads for SAFA so that they are no more in the dilemma of “Will my hard work of handicrafts help me tomorrow for my family livelihood?” Students began their one month journey with the aim to create sustainable sales for SAFA. Some of the localities visited by students include Krishna Weavers (Balanagar), Lepakshi’s Laad Bazaar, General Bazaar and Begum Bazaar. They also met several event management agencies to create leads for B2B sustainable sales. Finally, the students got positive results and helped SAFA make sales from new channels. In fact, they learnt real life marketing and understood the true meaning of team spirit. “Individuals can make a difference in society. Since periods of change such as the present one come so rarely in human history, it is up to each of us to make the best use of our time to help create a happier world.” – It is indeed true! Brief: Apt marketing can change the scenario of any organization. An effort in that direction was started NMiMS, Hyderabad. iNM - Magazine 22
