In 2025, the stories of women connected to Apni Kutir reached one of India’s largest sporting platforms through Shahoshi Rani, a women’s empowerment initiative by Kolkata Knight Riders.
Women’s Empowerment Initiative
Women from underserved communities in Kolkata received training in tailoring and beauty, creating pathways towards income and greater financial independence.
KKR’s official CSR page records Shahoshi Rani as a 2025 initiative supporting 230 women through structured skill development and sustainable income-generation opportunities.
We welcome conversations with journalists, storytellers, researchers and media organisations interested in women’s economic empowerment, livelihoods, healthcare and community-led development.
