STORIES OF
IMPACT
Venkatesh used a coal ironing box and earned INR 400-500 daily, but his income increased 1.4 times after transitioning to LPG ironing boxes as now he can iron more clothes. Finishing is perfect in the LPG iron box. He says, “Customers used to be unhappy with us whenever their clothes got burnt due to coal. Now we do not have any such problems. Further, coal has to be changed 4-5 times a day. This time can be saved if you use an LPG iron box. The best part of this iron box is that we can adjust the heat based on the type of clothes we are ironing.”
VenkateshVyapaari 
I hail from a family of ironing vyapaaris. However, I decided to start my own beauty parlour. During the pandemic, I started offering beauty services at home and took orders through WhatsApp. I ensured that I maintain hygiene while treating my clients, and this made my customers trust me. With the support of INR 10,000 (received from Udhyam Vyapaar during COVID lockdown), I could stock up on beauty products and hence, in addition to my regular services, I was able to start selling beauty products.
Kavitha Vyapaari 
I provided tailor services for my business but COVID caused my business to shut down. Making use of the cash grants by Udhyam Vyapaar in the first wave of COVID and some training sessions I had attended, it was possible to start a new business. I rented a cart and started selling vegetables and flowers. I began offering home deliveries of groceries and took orders for vegetables & groceries on WhatsApp. Udhyam Vyapaar also enabled me to adopt UPI to avail Udhyami Loan
