The session was inspired by an initiative started by @AjitThite to empower local businesses
The meetup kicked off with a warm welcome and introductions from all participants, followed by a special shoutout to Ajit Daa for his efforts in starting this meaningful cause.
State the difference was chaotic ice breaking activity which brought a lot of laughter, helping everyone feel connected.
Sagar daa shared practical ways to support local businesses, like promoting festive offers and writing detailed reviews. Promoting offers can help attract customers to their businesses.
Sagar Daa and Rosy ma’am highlighted the importance of including photos and videos, products or services. Also updating business information, such as hours, contact details, and accessibility can make it easier for others to discover and support local businesses.

Sagar daa reminded everyone to support small businesses responsibly and only buy what’s truly needed.
