In the vibrant town of Rajapur, under the Kudal division of Maharashtra, Nikita Nandkishor Chavan, a determined and hardworking woman, has scripted an inspiring tale of growth and financial empowerment, supported by IIFL Samasta. With a clear vision and unwavering commitment, Nikita embarked on a journey of entrepreneurship that has brought stability and progress to her family.

Looking to support her family and build a stable income, Nikita took her first step by joining a self-help group and availing a loan from IIFL Samasta. With the financial assistance, she started a grocery store and invested in agricultural tools to strengthen her family’s primary source of livelihood.

Motivated by early success, Nikita expanded her income sources by opening a tea shop adjacent to the grocery store. Her husband joined her efforts, taking an active role in managing day-to-day operations and strengthening the family’s financial base.

Encouraged by the progress, Nikita launched a third venture—a mineral water supply business. With careful planning and disciplined execution, she now runs all three businesses efficiently, ensuring steady income and long-term sustainability.

Through her entrepreneurial journey, Nikita has not only uplifted her own life but has also become an inspiration to the women in her self-help group and her larger community.
