The unique day-long event, running from 10:30 am to 9:30 pm, hosted by Crown Plaza hotel at its 25th-floor ballroom, will bring together women artisans and young entrepreneurs showcasing handcrafted creations, innovative products, and passion-driven ventures, said a press release here.
Organisers said the initiative goes beyond the idea of a conventional marketplace, serving instead as a celebration of women's empowerment and a platform to support local livelihoods, nurture talent, and strengthen communities.
