Riniki Bhuyan Sharma in top 100 women achievers of India

way2barak, Dec 27 : Riniki Bhuyan Sharma, an Assamese entrepreneur and media baroness, has been recognized for her remarkable achievements by being listed in India Today’s prestigious ‘The She List’ of the top 100 women achievers of India.

As the Chief Managing Director (CMD) of Pride East Entertainments Pvt Ltd, she leads northeast India’s largest media conglomerate, which includes two news channels, three entertainment channels, and an Assamese newspaper.

From media, in 2016, she moved to a socially conscious endeavour—the Golden Threads of Assam—which is aimed at not only preserving Muga, the trademark Assam silk, but showcasing it globally.

In doing so, she has socially and financially empowered the women associated with weaving this indigenous thread. It’s this focus on women’s issues that motivated Riniki to start Aadya, a sanitary napkin manufacturing unit in 2018.

Last year, she ventured into the education sector by setting up Vandya International, the biggest school in the Northeast in terms of infrastructure. Now, she is all set to enter the hospitality industry by starting a luxury abode for nature lovers.

Her work through organizations like Udayachal and Sneha Bandhan exemplifies her commitment to making a positive impact on society, particularly for those who are most vulnerable.
