If we worship Goddess Durga carved out of clay, then how can we forget those several incarnations of Goddess Durga who are living next door and inspiring several others with their epic creations and go-getting attitude? Such an example lies between us. Smt. Renu Verma who not only successfully started a business named ‘Mittikalaa’ worth over a crore right from scratch but also helped others by generating employment.
We know that clay pottery has been an inseparable part of our ancient civilization. Renu recognized that and decided to move forward to make a successful business out of this traditional art. Despite having an MBA degree, she decided not to do a job but to start a pottery business. She connected more people with the mission and used their skills to make it an outstanding enterprise. Her ideas and efforts to promote the business, along with her pottery skills, have drawn the attention of people not just from the State and the country but from across the world. Mittikalaa is exporting over 500 customised clay products not only across the States, but also abroad. They have customers in USA, Canada, New Zealand, and Dubai. They are showing steep growth in exports and generating revenue.
