Uraan is a platform of connectivity where rural women entrepreneurs bridge the gap with urban market by exercising a range of market linkages activities. This event unlocked the intra and inter-district collective learning opportunity where micro-entrepreneurs observe and learn from each other – the best practices of selling skills including customer service, negotiations, product display, design development, pricing/costing and lot more.
