MUMBAI, 5 APRIL, 2024 (TGN): Swiggy recently launched “She The Change”, an initiative aimed at recognizing and celebrating women entrepreneurship in the food and beverage industry. Among various women entrepreneurs applauded at the event, were Mariam Bhol Bracketwala, Aparna Andrews, and Ashni Shah from Mumbai. They own House of Biryan, Biryani Blues, and Noto – Healthy Ice Cream, respectively, and are running a successful business contributing to the food and beverage industry of India.
With over 50,000 women-run restaurants on its platform, Swiggy believes in the transformative potential of these entrepreneurs who are estimated to generate approximately three hundred thousand jobs, as each restaurant employs an average of six direct employees.

The initiative also received praise for its role in promoting women’s inclusion in the workforce, aligning with the Honourable Prime Minister’s the vision of ‘Nari Shakti.’
