An Initiative by the Maratha Community, for the Maratha Community

MEA is the outcome of a deep desire to help Maratha entrepreneurs in their growth journey.

Realizing the need for a strong peer platform, visionaries and progressive-minded leaders from the community came together to discuss possibilities of collaboration. Their collective passion and dynamism led to the establishment of MEA in 2010.

Since its humble beginnings 14 years ago, MEA has today grown into a 1,000+ strong forum with multiple chapters across Maharashtra.

FROM THE PRESIDENT'S DESK

Dear Member,

‘Together, Let’s Prosper.’

This inspiring thought has always been the driving force of MEA. Growth doesn’t happen in silos; it is the result of collective effort where referrals, collaborations, and partnerships play a significant role.

MEA is committed to fostering meaningful connections, sharing resources, and empowering businesses to grow through collaboration.

Come to think of it, MEA is more than a forum; it’s akin to a family where members, driven by genuine concern and warmth, support one another.

As we all know, there are select communities in India that are known for their entrepreneurial spirit and business acumen. Since ancient times, these communities have been engaged in business and have become prosperous. The seed idea behind establishing MEA was that the Maratha community, which has been traditionally associated with farming, would also be acknowledged as a business community.

The core purpose is to mould young minds and launch them on the path to being an entrepreneur. ‘Be an employer; not an employee’ is the strong foundation on which the MEA institution is built. This has always been the credo of MEA and will continue to guide us as a beacon in the future.

As the saying goes, ‘knowledge is power’. Apart from helping fellow members with connections and referrals, another key MEA activity is that of sharing business knowledge. We organize various events aimed at disseminating knowledge related to multiple aspects of business, where exerts and thought leaders, as well as our own members, share their knowledge.

We also support members in different ways to scale their business. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to cross new milestones, this platform is here to support your journey at every stage. Be it funding, knowledge sharing, or even moral support, the entire MEA machinery is behind you and working in your best interests.

So let’s continue to uplift one another, drive sustainable growth, and shape a brighter future for all concerned.

Let’s be respected in society as a ‘business community’.

Warm regards,

Shri. Vikram Gaikwad
