Maria Teresa’s entrepreneurship journey started when she opened a store that offered traditional costumes for sale and hire. She later set up the e-commerce business Bazar Online Leyly after spotting a gap in the market for sustainable packaging solutions.

What did you expect to gain from 10,000 Women and the Growth Fellowship?
“Thanks to 10,000 Women, I managed to create a new business. If I hadn’t taken the courses, my life would be completely different, so I am very grateful. I anticipated an awesome experience during the Growth Fellowship and that was exactly what it turned out to be, meeting incredible people from Goldman Sachs as well as women from around the world who are doing amazing things. - this was so inspiring.”
