Many content creators took to their Instagram to help people in every way possible and we can’t thank them enough for it.

Tbh, Masoom has always been a keen supporter of small businesses since the very beginning. She recently started talking more about it looking at the pandemic and the need to support such businesses. She came up with #SupoortIndianDesigners and also features them in her posts and stories, I think she’s doing a fab job at it. In the above video, she shows different budget kaftans from such growing fashion brands. Also, not to forget she provided many verified sources to people who were in sheer need of help. Thank you Masoom for always supporting people.

2. Juhi Godambe

Here Juhi speaks about ways to motivate and encourage small businesses while keeping the pandemic in mind. She faced challenging times with her own brand ‘Arabellaa‘ but she didn’t give up. Instead of growling and getting upset, she started working on ways she could hustle, which included thinking for new collections, preparing new designs, getting to know her teammates, etc. This simple yet important message could help many brands think about a better tomorrow.

3. Saakshi Sindwani

Saakshi in her above post talks about how she predicts that the small business will be affected in the 2nd wave and ways we all can unify to support them. Therefore, she created her own marketplace to support such small businesses called ‘Smucoworks‘ and the tagline is just so apt ‘Create, Market, Empower, Become‘. This initiative by her is mainly to decode the importance of digital entrepreneurship. Speaking of the pandemic, she also helped in raising funds for people who were in urgent need of help and in providing verified sources.
