Mall with all-women crew shutting down on Monday
Welfare standing committee chairman of the Kozhikode Corporation, P. Divakaran, has termed the concept of the Mahila Mall “inspiring” and said that it could be tried elsewhere. “Management failure was the reason for the Mahila Mall debacle. But it is a good concept. The Corporation is checking if the model could be improvised and implemented once again,” he said while answering a query posed by Congress councillor K.C. Shobhita in the Corporation Council meeting on Friday. The Mahila Mall, claimed to be Asia’s first mall with an all-women crew, is shutting down on Monday. The mall, managed by the Unity Group of Kozhikode Corporation Kudumbashree, was launched in November 2018 with about 75 women entrepreneurs setting up shops there.
