Chümoukedima, October 11 (MExN): The fifth edition of WENN Bazaar, organised by the Women Entrepreneurs Network Nagaland (WENN), concluded at Agri Expo with consolidated sales of Rs 1,14,35,829 over three days from October 15 to 17.
Held under the theme “One Nagaland, One Marketplace: Women Entrepreneurs from Every District,” the Bazaar brought together 167 women-led enterprises from all districts of the state and drew more than 13,000 visitors, making it one of the largest gatherings of women entrepreneurs in Nagaland.
“The event generated over 1,500 employment opportunities,” WENN said in a press release.

Alongside its retail marketplace, WENN Bazaar 2026 placed a strong focus on business-to-business (B2B) trade, connecting participating entrepreneurs with buyers and trade partners and opening the door to bulk orders, repeat supply arrangements and distribution partnerships that continue well after the event ends.
The Bazaar also served as learning and networking platform, with ten specialised workshops covering business development, innovation, leadership, marketing and enterprise sustainability, giving participants practical tools to grow their ventures.
Together with mentorship and networking opportunities, these sessions reflect WENN’s aim of building a complete support ecosystem for women entrepreneurs rather than a one-time marketplace, the release said.
The results of this year's edition show the growing contribution of women-owned businesses to Nagaland's economy. Building on the momentum, WENN said it will continue to strengthen the market linkages made at the Bazaar and remains committed to helping women entrepreneurs across the state grow, scale and reach wider markets.
