Phoenix Marketcity Mumbai is pleased to announce the launch of the third edition of “Big Break,” a collaborative initiative with Bollywood sensation and entrepreneur, Sunny Leone, the founder of StarStruck beauty brand. The primary objective of this esteemed program is to provide a platform for aspiring women entrepreneurs to pitch their innovative business ideas to top venture capital firms, including Kae Capital and Equanimity.
Mayank Lalpuria, Senior Vice President-Marketing at Phoenix Mills Ltd, conveyed his enthusiasm for the initiative by stating, “At Phoenix Marketcity Mumbai, we take immense pride in showcasing women-owned brands such as Mama Earth, Sugar Cosmetics, Nykaa on Trend, and more alongside some of the leading global brands. In line with this commitment, we are proud to present Phoenix Marketcity Mumbai’s Big Break, which aims to kickstart and support the entrepreneurial journeys of women. The third edition of Big Break provides a valuable platform for aspiring women leaders to present their business ideas to venture capitalists from leading firms. We are thrilled to have Sunny Leone join us as one of the panelists for Big Break. Leveraging her success as a businesswoman, she aims to inspire participants by sharing her own entrepreneurial journey.”
Sunny Leone also expressed her thoughts on the collaboration, “It was an honour to collaborate with Phoenix Marketcity Mumbai for the third edition of Big Break, which I feel is the perfect channel for budding and established women entrepreneurs. Women are capable of accomplishing extraordinary things, and this belief led to the creation of my brand, StarStruck Cosmetics. Seeing StarStruck’s kiosk at Mumbai’s biggest mall is a delightful feeling, as it will amplify the brand’s visibility and reach. I hope that my association with Big Break acts as a catalyst in driving positive change and financial independence in women.”
Now in its third year, “Big Break” aims to expand its impact by reaching more aspiring women entrepreneurs across the country. The initiative underscores Phoenix Marketcity Mumbai’s ongoing commitment to social empowerment and represents a significant step forward in championing female entrepreneurship in India.
The collaboration with Sunny Leone and the participation of renowned venture capital firms make “Big Break” a vital initiative in supporting and nurturing women-led businesses. It provides a platform for budding entrepreneurs to showcase their ideas and receive support to turn them into successful ventures. This initiative not only promotes gender equality in entrepreneurship but also reinforces the importance of economic independence for women.
As the third edition of “Big Break” takes flight, the initiative’s impact on women’s entrepreneurship in India is poised to be even more significant, setting the stage for more women to realize their entrepreneurial dreams and contribute to the nation’s economic growth. This collaboration between Marketcity and Sunny Leone is a commendable effort to empower women and foster an environment conducive to their success as entrepreneurs.
