Marketcity & Sunny Leone boost women entrepreneurs with 'Big Break' 3

Phoenix Marketcity Mumbai launched the third edition of "Big Break," in collaboration with Bollywood icon and entrepreneur Sunny Leone, founder of the beauty brand StarStruck. This esteemed initiative is dedicated to empowering budding women entrepreneurs by offering them an unparalleled platform to pitch their innovative business ideas to leading venture capital firms, including Kae Capital and Equanimity.

Mayank Lalpuria, Senior Vice President-Marketing, Phoenix Mills Ltd, shared his enthusiasm, “At Phoenix Marketcity Mumbai we are proud to house women-owned brands like Mama Earth, Sugar Cosmetics, Nykaa on Trend and more amidst some of the leading global brands. Extending this commitment is Phoenix Marketcity Mumbai’s Big Break, where we are laying the path for women's entrepreneurial journeys to commence and scale. The third edition of Big Break facilitates a platform for budding women leaders to present their business ideas to venture capitalists from leading venture capital firms. We are happy to collaborate with Sunny Leone as one of the panellists for Big Break. Sunny Leone, leveraging her success as a businesswoman, aims to inspire participants by sharing her own entrepreneurial journey.”

Sunny Leone expressed, “It was an honour to collaborate with Phoenix Marketcity Mumbai for the third edition of Big Break, which I feel is the perfect channel for budding and established women entrepreneurs. Women are made to accomplish extraordinary things and this thought gave birth to my brand StarStruck Cosmetics, which, for me, is an idea of self-expression and empowerment. To see StarStruck's kiosk at Mumbai’s biggest mall is a delightful feeling as it will amplify the brand’s visibility and reach. At the same time, I hope my association with Big Break acts as a catalyst in driving a positive change and financial independence in women.”

Now in its third year, "Big Break" seeks to amplify its impact by extending its reach to more aspiring women entrepreneurs across the country. The initiative underscores Phoenix Marketcity Mumbai’s ongoing dedication to social empowerment and marks a significant step forward in championing female entrepreneurship in India.
