Women on Wings and EXIM BANK of India join forces

The Dutch trade mission to India resulted in a partnership with Women on Wings and The Export and Import Bank (EXIM BANK) of India. The Memorandum of Cooperation was signed by Women on Wings and EXIM Bank of India on 4 September in Mumbai in the presence of Ms. Ploumen, Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation (photo: in the middle). The aim of the cooperation is to improve the position of women in rural India by supporting Indian social enterprises in their overall growth in general and exports in particular.

Currently, EXIM Bank and Women on Wings both already support a number of organizations in rural India. EXIM Bank of India connects organizations in rural India with clients worldwide. Women on Wings provides these organizations professional business knowledge, focusing on a growth strategy. This cooperation, alongside economic growth and access to export for Women on Wings clients, has even more effect: more jobs for women.

 

“The sales strategy workshop with the Women on Wings team has really helped us bring together our sales team. We feel that this intervention was very timely and the facilitation was very well done. We would like to express our thanks to the Women on Wings team for their inputs.”
