eSheBee Enterprises was established in 2014 through action research conducted in Kamalganj Upazila of Moulvibazar District. The eSheBee Enterprises aimed to maximize the utilization of local resources, the talent, creativity and hard work of underprivileged women in the area to make them economically empowered. To achieve this goal, several business ideas were generated based on local resources, skills and creativity of women. Such as e-citizen services, training, production of vermicompost fertilizers and organic pesticides, Monipuri handloom industry, bamboo-cane industry, pottery, diversified jute products etc. In line with this, eSheBee Enterprises expanded its Handicrafts division and acquired membership of the Jute Diversification Promotion Center (JDPC) under the Ministry of Textiles and Jute.
