Kaniz Fatima Paliwala

With a degree in business management, I am currently a member of consumer right organization (district zonal president) and owner of a shopping mall in Udaipur. However, before relocating to Udaipur, I was based in Dubai but the decision to move back was to support my husband’s vision of starting Arvanah – a shopping center in his hometown.

Opening up Arvanah also provided me with the most significant achievement of my life – the ability to directly support SHEROES, a cafe run by acid attack survivors, by offering them free-of-charge space at Arvanah to earn their living. Blessed with 2 daughters, I also a member of the women’s mentor forum and I wish to continue to bring awareness amongst women to become financially independent.
