In 2023, Mahila Udyami entered a transformative new chapter during a pivotal visit to India🇮🇳.
It was there that Dr. Virginia Rivera met Adv. Peeyush Pandit — a renowned advocate for social justice, education, and women’s empowerment, as well as Chairman of the Swarna Bharat Parivaar Trust and the Peeyush Group of Companies.
