Oroboro Apparels, a thriving startup incubated with NSRCEL IIM Bangalore 

and FIELD IIM Vishakhapatnam, in collaboration with Unnati Foundation, 

proudly announces its upcoming women empowerment extravaganza – 

"FemmeFest: Celebrating and Empowering Her Dreams." This multifaceted 

mega event is set to be a dynamic platform, amplifying a diverse array of 

women's dreams, from startups to micro-businesses, family enterprises, aspiring 

artists, influencers, and women navigating the journey of motherhood or 

aspiring to step onto the fashion runway. 

The FemmeFest website was officially launched by Ms. Susan Thomas, Indian 

Revenue Service (IRS) officer currently working with the Income Tax 

Department as Commissioner, CBDT in New Delhi. and former Director of the 

National Institute of Fashion Technology (Bangalore), at a virtual event held 

on December 21, 2023. Inaugurating the website, she expressed sincere 

enthusiasm, stating, "I am thrilled to be part of FemmeFest and eagerly 

anticipate the upcoming March event. This outstanding initiative not only 

recognizes but actively supports women in their journey to achieve their dreams, 

challenging the traditional perception of women primarily as caregivers." 

Women encounter systemic hurdles such as gender discrimination, limited 

financial and educational opportunities, societal expectations, violence, and 

workplace challenges. FemmeFest emerges as a crucial initiative addressing 

these issues, providing essential support for women to overcome these 

challenges. The event aims to be a launchpad, offering aspiring women a trifecta 

of support – voice validation, venture opportunities, and increased visibility.
