A Dreamer A Believer A Doer An Achiever!

PFL proudly supports women entrepreneurs. We believe that "women possess strong minds and powerful souls." From the traditional 3 K's – knitting, kids, and kitchen – and 2 P's – papad and pickles, PFL aims to transform a woman's entrepreneurial journey into a game-changer for herself, her business, and society as a whole.

PFL provides services in several women-oriented businesses, such as salons, spas, restaurants, preschools, coaching centers, air hostess training academies, healthcare, gym and fitness centers, and more. Women are an indispensable part of the entrepreneurial ecosystem and will continue to lead change for years to come. They contribute to economic growth, innovation, creativity, precision, productivity, and strong business acumen. Moreover, they inspire other aspiring women to step into the world of business.

As Shri Narendra Modi, the Honorable Prime Minister of India, said in one of his popular Mann Ki Baat radio programs:

"Our dream of a New India is an India where women are empowered, strengthened, and assist in the overall development of the country as equal partners. It is encouraging to see the women of our country making slow yet sure strides in being equals in every sphere of life."
