Naziya Bano, a resident of Kanakapura, has been involved in silk thread making for the past six years. Despite the initially low profit margins, Naziya Bano remained committed to her work, determined to establish her own business. Starting small with just one worker, she now employs three people and has significantly improved production—from taking 15 days to process material to just 4–5 days. With support from Grameen Koota, she received her first loan of ₹35,000, followed by ₹60,000 the next year, which helped her improve her silk thread-making business. Now, being eligible for another loan of around ₹2,00,000, she’s planning to expand her small-scale business and aim for better profits. She credits CreditAccess Grameen as a key reason behind her business success, saying that “timely access to credit made it all possible.” What began as a humble livelihood has now grown into a thriving, self-owned enterprise—one that brings both stability and pride to her and her family.
