In a time when home-based women entrepreneurs often struggle for visibility, two determined women—Mrunal Shah and Sushma Jagtap—stepped forward to create a platform that celebrates, uplifts, and empowers them. Their initiative, Homemakers Exhibition & Events, established in 2016, has grown into one of Pune’s most influential exhibition brands dedicated to supporting women-led businesses.

Homemakers Exhibition & Events was built with a clear and powerful vision:
to create a vibrant, inclusive community where women entrepreneurs can thrive.
The founders recognized the immense talent present among women running small home-based ventures—handmade crafts, ethnic fashion, homemade foods, décor products, beauty services, and more. Their mission became to bring these talents into the spotlight.
