Our success stories
Entreprenuer
Since joining BeLa in May 2019, my journey in the ladies' garment business blossomed remarkably. Amid financial struggles, my sister-in-law introduced me to BeLa. With BeLa's marketing guidance, I learned to craft effective ads, expanding my audience. Now, I own a shop offering garments, saree pouches, chocolates, and pan masala. BeLa has been my guiding light, transforming challenges into opportunities, empowering my business growth.
Mehendi Artist & Zumba Instructor
Joining BeLa transformed my career. As a mehendi artist and Zumba instructor, relying on word-of-mouth referrals limited my reach until clients suggested BeLa. Utilizing the platform, I've effectively marketed workshops and summer camps, gaining support from members who appreciate my posts and help reach a wider audience. Today, I'm recognized as a professional Mehendi Artist in the city with a team of trained artists.
Baker
Since joining Bela in 2018, my baking business has flourished beyond expectations. With the BeLa's support, I've been able to advertise effectively and gain valuable exposure through initiatives like Bela Bazaar and the Bela Talk Show. The referrals and customers I've received through Bela have been instrumental in fulfilling over 6300 orders for my eggless cakes. Bela has truly been a game-changer for me.
Fashion Designer
I’m Vani Nagesh Karekar, Fashion Designer, entrepreneur, and mother of two. BELA Bazaar transformed both my business and confidence. Our first-ever stall for Shree Gajanthlaxmi Jewellers received an overwhelming response, helping us build recognition and loyal customers. BELA also inspired me to restart my dreams through fashion shows and content creation. Thank you, BELA, for helping women and businesses shine.

Therapeutic Yoga Trainer
I am Soumya Galgali, a Therapeutic Yoga Trainer, Nutritionist, and Counselor. My journey truly began during the COVID period, when the Bela community became a strong support system for me. Through Bela, I connected with my first clients and started offering yoga and diet consultations. From that moment, there has been no looking back. Even today, I continue to receive calls and opportunities through this platform. I am deeply grateful to the Bela team and community for helping me grow, build confidence, and establish my career. Thank you so much for being such an empowering space.
