माऊली स्वीट्स अँड स्नॅक्स : संघर्षातून उभारलेलं यश
फक्त हिंमत, चिकाटी आणि एक स्वप्न घेऊन उषा भंडारी यांनी ‘माऊली स्वीट्स अँड स्नॅक्स’ सुरू केलं. शिक्षण कमी, पैसा नव्हता, पण मुलांना चांगलं आयुष्य द्यायचं होतं—हीच प्रेरणा होती. कठीण परिस्थितीतून उषाताईंनी व्यवसाय उभा केला आणि मुलांना चांगलं शिक्षण दिलं.
आज त्या फक्त स्वतःच नाही, तर १० स्त्रियांनाही रोजगार देत आहेत. अदानी समूहाच्या 'स्वतेज मार्ट' योजनेमुळे त्यांचा व्यवसाय वाढला आणि त्यांनी स्वतःसह इतर महिलांना सक्षम केलं.
माऊली स्वीट्स अँड स्नॅक्स हा आता केवळ व्यवसाय नसून, तो संघर्ष, आशा आणि सशक्ततेचं प्रतीक बनला आहे.
