MUMBAI: They came, they skilled, they conquered. Mahindra & Mahindra’s Kaabil initiative and Centum Foundation have unveiled a stirring new film that celebrates the extraordinary journeys of women who turned opportunity into empowerment.
Conceptualised by Upgrad Enterprise’s marketing team, the short film spotlights women from across 19 states whose lives have been transformed through skill-based training and sustainable livelihoods. Told through powerful first-person stories, it’s a moving ode to resilience, dignity and the quiet revolution taking shape in rural India.
Opening with a voiceover comparing women’s strength to ‘Shakti’, the film captures the struggles and triumphs of women finding their footing in sectors like automotive, retail and customer service. The Kaabil Initiative, Mahindra Group’s flagship CSR programme, has already trained over 20,000 women across 250 locations, with more than 9,000 placed in meaningful jobs, many for the very first time.
Mahindra & Mahindra head of women’s empowerment Pooja Nanda said, “Kaabil aims to empower one million women by 2027 through skilling and employability. Our partnership with Centum Foundation has helped us scale our impact and foster lasting livelihoods.”
Adding to this, Upgrad Enterprise revenue head Sunita Mohant noted, “These women aren’t just statistics, they’re stories of courage and transformation. Their ambition proves that India’s growth isn’t limited to its cities.”
With its heartwarming visuals and purpose-led storytelling, the film goes beyond awareness to ignite inspiration, reminding viewers that true empowerment begins when skill meets opportunity.
