HOW IT WORKS?• Villages with a population of about 2000-3000 are selected.• Personnel from HUL approach SHGs.
• Selection of the Shakti Amma.
• HUL vouches for Shakti Ammas with banks from credit.• One Shakti entrepreneur is appointed for one village &
villages that are about 2 kilometres apart from her village.
• The Shakti dealer places initial orders worth Rs.15000(principal customer of HUL
• The Shakti dealer organizes a “Shakti Day” in the village(display of products & free gifts)

• The recruitment of a Shakti Entrepreneur or Shakti Amma (SA) begins with the executives of HUL identifying the uncovered village.
• The representative of the company meets the panchayat and the village head and identify the woman who they believe will be suitable as a SA.
• After training she is asked to put up Rs 20,000 as investment which is used to buy products for selling. The products are then sold door-to-door or through petty shops at home.
• On an average a Shakti Amma makes a 10% margin on the products she sells.
