Talking about Naturals presents Sakthi Masala Homepreneur Awards powered by SSVM Institutions, Mr. Hemachandran, Founder & CEO, Brand Avatar, said,”Women have always been the contributing members of our society. In addition to discharging their household duties, they support their families economically by operating small or medium businesses from their home. They also take up work as freelancers. These homepreneurs make a world of difference to the local community by creating and supplying quality products and services. Given a right platform to grow, they could scale their venture and become business leaders. We have instituted the Homepreneurs award to bring to the limelight the silent yet significant contributions women make to the society and the economy.”

Homepreneur Awards is unique in the sense that it honors home-based business women, instead of corporate talents. The award was instituted in 2017 and so far five seasons have been held.
