BUSINESS EXHBIT

A Celebration of Entrepreneurship

On December 29, 2024, during the PAAWA Family Get-Together, a Business Exhibit showcasing the entrepreneurial talent of PAAWA entrepreneurs was organized for the first time. This initiative, encouraged by the leaders of the PAAWA Association and PACE Trust, aimed to highlight the entrepreneurial capabilities of our community members.

The exhibit served not only as a platform to display business ventures but also as an inspiration for youth, college students, and women to explore entrepreneurship. The goal was to foster a self-reliant and prosperous community where members support one another and contribute to the overall growth and development of PAAWA families both in our villages and across the globe, including Dubai, Singapore, the USA, and other parts of India.

PAAWA BUSINESS COUNCIL ( PBC) BUSINESS EXHBIT

The PAAWA Business Exhibit was a resounding success, generating tremendous enthusiasm and pride among our people. Special thanks go to Mr. M.Jaganathan, Mr. P. Subramanian, senior members of the PAAWA Association and PACE Trust, PAAWA EC Team ,Mr.M.Srikanth and the PAAWA Business Council (PBC) entrepreneurs for their generous contributions and active participation in making this pioneering effort possible.

This remarkable event has set the foundation for future endeavours, and we look forward to continuing the PAAWA Business Council (PBC) Exhibit in the coming years to further inspire and empower our community.
