FLO National President, Pinky Reddy said, “With the Govt of Telangana‘s proactive and progressive Industrial Policy and its keenness to promote women enterprises in the state, TSIIC has partnered FLO via its parent body, FICCI. Today, Hyderabad and Telangana are considered the most preferred destinations for any investor and we already have many MNC’s and large international brands with their facilities in the state. While it our maiden venture with TSIIC, the experience of both FLO and TSIIC in this space will certainly create an industrial park which will set a benchmark. It has been said that the one way to make sure women participate in the economic growth of the country, is by creating a healthy eco-system for women entrepreneurs. The FLO Hyderabad Entrepreneur Park is aimed towards this”.
Jyotsna Angara, who leads the initiative at Hyderabad said, “FLO’s commitment to build an entrepreneurial driven economy and resurgent India where women play a major role is continuous. This we believe is possible only when we have Industries owned and led by women in varied Industry Sectors bringing good investments, creating better employment opportunity for women and also alongside build better local communities. We have ensured that diverse industries are represented at the park – Packaging, Organic Handloom Apparel, Furniture, Electronics, Food Processing, Medical Devices and General Engg. All these industries are expected to bring in substantial investments of over 150 crores and large number of employment generated on a continuous basis. We are encouraged by the proactive stance of the Government of Telangana and see much potential for the Park to develop as a facility to contend with.
“India can increase its 2025 targeted GDP from 16% to 60% by enabling women to participate in the economy on par with men. FLO believes that Women’s Industrial Parks shall give tremendous boost for women to set up their own ventures. Today, women owned businesses are big contributors to the economic growth of the country. It is our strong belief that, the proposed Industrial Park will fulfill that requirement and help India emerge as a manufacturing destination.” added Jyotsna Angara.
“One of the key enablers to catalyze the “Make in India” initiative announced by the Government of India is to bring women to the mainstream, fore-front of business, Industry and Policy making. To this end, FLO has been working relentlessly towards skill development initiatives and promoting entrepreneurship with women at all levels”. She also added, “With the support of State Govt., FLO Hyderabad plans to create bench mark developments in the women’s industrial park space, both in terms of investments, employments and facilities. With the keen interest of State Govt and Industries and Commerce Minister, Mr. K.T. Rama Rao in promoting industrial growth with pro-industry & forward thinking policies, we are confident that the FLO Park will give an impetus to companies, especially those from other states, to setup a base in our park”.
Green energy norms and green infrastructure for sustainable energy will be a big aspect of the park to create a more sustainable future for all of us. The main aim of FLO, TSIIC and the number of companies that will make up the industrial park eventually is to propagate and encourage sustainable development and growth. FLO is working to pioneer the concept of integrated business township linked to the Industrial parks in India and establish such projects across at the various chapters that it is planning to set up Industrial Parks with the respective State Industrial Development Corporations.
