- Nina Lekhi of Baggit gets ‘Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Award’
Nina Lekhi, Founder, Baggit, was given away ‘Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Award’ by Rajiv Pratap Rudy, Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship at Entrepreneur Show & Awards 2015 hosted by Franchise India.
“Absolutely thrilled and honoured to receive the Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Award by Rajeev Pratap Rudy,” tweeted the successful womenpreneur.
Nina founded the brand in 1990 with the desire to create a brand that offered a unique concept. Baggit pioneered and perfected the concept of using traditional handicraft skills to create modern designs with non-leather, eco-friendly materials and thus, becoming one of the favorite bag brands of Indian consumers.
Baggit emphasises on making use of eco-friendly materials. Baggit defined bags as a style statement at a time when handbags were considered boring. With each new collection the brand explores current and futuristic style trends that ensures its buyers are always in style. The brand presently runs about 43 outlets and has a wide presence in many multi-brand retail stores across different cities in India.
