A Century Of Stories

Season 1 Announcement

Let's go back to the 1800s when the English started playing the game on the Indian subcontinent. It was the newly displaced Indian Royals who first took to cricket, as a proxy to their power struggle. This patronage then slowly extended from the Maharajas to skilled Indian commoners, ultimately growing the game in the country and revolutionizing this sport. 

Hear about their dedication, influence on talent and lasting impact on the game uniting millions only on A Century Of Stories: Cricket podcast, presented by IDFC FIRST Bank hosted by Cyrus Broacha.

Welcome back to @ACenturyOfStories presented by @IDFCFIRSTBank!

This week, Kunal tells you the fun and inspiring story of a group of seven women who started the beloved food brand Lijjat Papad in 1959 - with just a small loan and a big vision! Determined to create a livelihood for themselves, they began making papads at home. Their initiative grew quickly, transforming into a cooperative where women were empowered not just as workers but as equal shareholders. Shri Mahila Griha Udyog Lijjat Papad became a movement of financial independence and dignity, creating jobs for over 45,000 women across India. This tale of resilience and entrepreneurship is both heartwarming and motivating, celebrating the impact of unity, hard work, and the spirit of women empowering each other.
