Economic Prosperity through Microenterprises
The transformational narrative of economic
empowerment has unfolded with the launch
of DAICHI brand, spearheaded by Ms. Priya
Agarwal, the Chairperson of HZL as a
commitment to fostering economic growth
and innovation.
The venture commenced with the
establishment of the Sakhi Pickle Unit at
Rudrapur and the Sakhi Namkeen Unit at
Zawar. This visionary move led to the
creation of 12 exciting snack variants and 5
diverse pickle options. These culinary
offerings not only delighted palates but also
symbolized a commitment to diversity and
culinary excellence.
Expanding its reach beyond traditional
markets, DAICHI introduced a novel
'Store-in-Store' concept at Udaipur's
Celebration & Paras Mall. showcasing
DAICHI products in a setting that seamlessly
blends tradition with modernity. The success
of this concept has led to the establishment
of 10 additional 'Store-in-Store' outlets and
Sakhi Haat, fusing innovation with
accessibility.
A pivotal facet of DAICHI's journey is the
'Business Sakhi' initiative, where economic
landscapes transformed as sales reached
an impressive INR 4,373,000 in FY 23. This
milestone, however, represents more than
just numbers – it reflects the collective
dedication of Sakhis, whose efforts
contributed to a total income of INR
3,337,000. With three distinct brands –
Upaya for apparels, Daichi for food, and
Guaum for dairy – a vibrant ecosystem
emerged, weaving dreams of prosperity.
THE PLANET THE WORKPLACE
Operating under the nurturing umbrella of
the 'Heart with Fingers' (HWF), known as WIP,
the initiative witnessed a remarkable surge.
The Dairy Processing Unit exemplified this
growth, recording a staggering 6-fold
increase in milk intake within a mere 8
months, surging to 600 liters per day. The
cumulative yearly results were equally
impressive as 1,42,941+ liters of milk were
procured, yielding 35,495 liters of butter milk
and 489 liters of ghee annually.
The DAICHI initiative also extended
partnerships, contributing to INR
15,100,000 in convergence through
collaborations with PNB Housing, NABARD,
and Capri Global. The DAICHI story serves
as a beacon of hope, illustrating how
economic prosperity is not just a concept,
but a tangible reality. Rooted in commitment,
innovation, and community, the journey
embodies the potential of microenterprises
to elevate lives and reshape destinies.
