The Women Entrepreneurs Network Nagaland (WENN) inaugurated the 4th edition of WENN Bazaar 2025 in Dimapur on 2nd October 2025, under the theme “Creating a Sustainable Networking Space for Women Entrepreneurs.” This flagship initiative continues to empower and elevate women entrepreneurs across Nagaland.
This year marks the largest edition yet, featuring 110+ women-led enterprises, 7 hands-on workshops, and a dedicated Udyam & FSSAI registration drive.
The event aims to provide not only a vibrant marketplace for showcasing and selling products but also essential tools for long-term business growth. Organizers hope the bazaar will lead to tangible outcomes—registrations completed, orders placed, collaborations formed, and ideas matched with mentors, markets, and funding. Every participant is encouraged to leave with at least one new connection, one new capability, and one new commitment.
The inaugural ceremony was graced by Hekani Jakhalu, MLA & Advisor, Department of Industries & Commerce, Government of Nagaland, and Smt. Olee Bora, General Manager, NEDFi. Both dignitaries inspired the gathering with powerful messages, reaffirming the critical role of women in economic development. A key emphasis during the ceremony was on the importance of business documentation, ensuring that Nagaland’s women entrepreneurs evolve not just as dreamers, but as well-prepared business leaders of tomorrow.
WENN Bazaar has grown into a celebration of resilience, creativity, and empowerment—a marketplace built by women, for women. It offers a dynamic space for learning, networking, and leadership development, contributing meaningfully to the future of Nagaland’s economy.
With an expected footfall of over 10,000 visitors across three days and projected vendor revenue of Rs 50 lakhs, WENN Bazaar 2025 is poised to make a significant economic impact on the state.
