Abira is a social enterprise that aims to empower women who create handcrafted fashion accessories. Using materials that are sourced ethically and created by traditionally marginalized women, Abira markets to a consumer with a socially responsible mindset, and ensures that a majority of the profits are reinvested into the learning, support, and holistic development of their artisans. They are driven by a mission to make women stronger and more confident so that they can control their own destiny.
Priyanka Khandelwal started her company, Abira Creations, with one sole purpose in mind: empowering women. She employs traditionally marginalized women in the slum regions near Pune, India, to create jewelry and fashion accessories.
