"Reflecting on my five years with Alibaba.com, I’ve seen Pinkweave evolve from a small-scale operation into a company that secures orders from prestigious clients like Harvard University. Becoming a lecturer on Alibaba.com has greatly expanded my social circle, allowing me to connect with new sellers and assist them in navigating the complexities of e-commerce. This role has opened yet another door for me, leading to my speaking engagement at the World Trade Organization on World MSME Day. Representing MSMEs from India and other developing economies was a milestone I attribute directly to my journey with Alibaba.com."
- Nupur Goyal Monga, Owner of Pinkweave
The biggest benefit of being a lecturer, Nupur observed, was the opportunity to better understand Alibaba.com and learn about new products, underscoring the dual impact of her role on both personal growth and community building.
Nupur's story is one of resilience and growth. With eight years of industry experience and five years on Alibaba.com, she has honed her skills in navigating the complex world of e-commerce. Her core product, purse straps, has found its way into the hands of prestigious clients, thanks to her dedication and the opportunities provided by Alibaba.com.
One of her most remarkable achievements was a deal with a U.S. factory, where she supplied 10,000 belts in just two months. This order, which began with a small batch of 40-50 pieces, quickly escalated to thousands after she attended a trade show and sent samples. "It was a challenging process," she recalls, "but the reward was worth the effort."
Nupur's transition to a lecturer was a natural progression, spurred by her impressive performance on Alibaba.com. Invited by the India marketing manager, Nupur now delivers lectures on a range of topics, from empowering women entrepreneurs to effectively following up with RFQ buyers. She sees this role as an opportunity to give back to the community that helped her grow. "I want to help as many entrepreneurs and sellers as possible, especially women, to turn their trade aspirations into real business," she says.
Looking to the future, Nupur is eager to continue her work as a lecturer, with a focus on expanding her teaching to more women entrepreneurs. She also seeks to improve her skills, particularly in AI, and advocates for more offline AI lectures. Her vision is clear: to empower others while continuing to grow her own business.
Nupur's journey on Alibaba.com is a testament to Alibaba.com's ability to transform lives and businesses. Through hard work, strategic use of Alibaba.com's resources, and a commitment to sharing her knowledge, Nupur has not only achieved personal success but also become a beacon of inspiration for others in the e-commerce industry.
