Lijjat Papad, a co-operative founded in 1959 by seven women in Mumbai, has grown into a multi-million-dollar business that empowers over 45,000 women across India. What started as a few women’s small, home-based venture making papadums to support their families has expanded to include products like spices, chapatis, and detergents. Over the years, the co-operative has provided its members with a steady income, work-life balance, and financial independence, transforming the lives of generations of Indian women.
