The Silai Lab

ng with his followers for the sake of freedom to practice one's faith. Taking inspiration from such a revered and venerated holy place with a glorious past, the founders of The Silai Lab Mrs. Oberoi established the training centre with the vision of empowering women to become self- sufficient. The term ‘Lab’ was added to the Silai Center with the aim of making it a space for women to not just learn a skill but also to feel free to experiment with skill, understand problems, craft solutions and innovations. The beneficiaries at Silai lab are women who stay at the Gurudwara and who come from nearby communities. They attend the 6-month long silai training along with a specially designed values and mindset building curriculum which has been developed in partnership with a Hyderabad based social enterprise, Umeed. Today, these women operate with a self –belief that they too can dream of realising their full potential.
