OMPEG's mission is to nurture the spirit of entrepreneurship in the UK based Maharashtrian community. Launched in April 2016 by successful community leaders and entrepreneurs, in just 5 years OMPEG has successfully connected hundreds of professionals and entrepreneurs and created many success stories of collaboration and new business launches. OMPEG is now a powerhouse of diverse talent and a widely recognised and respected organisation in the UK. OMPEG Story: OMPEG began as an idea in 2015 and was nurtured by UK’s well-known Maharashtrian business and community leaders to grow as a platform for collaboration. The idea was also to fundamentally change the image of Maharashtrians in the UK as front-runner business leaders. In just 5 years, it has now become a highly respected platform and a brand run by Maharashtrians, for Maharashtrians, who want to venture into an entrepreneurial journey. A place that provides the necessary moral and material support to instil entrepreneurial zeal within the Maharashtrian community and provide an alternative to so-called false security of a job. OMPEG was formally launched in 2016 as a fee-based membership organisation and since its inception has provided ideas and inspiration to many professionals and entrepreneurs in the UK-based Maharashtrian community. It has served as a catalyst to convert ideas into successful ventures. Ventures in diverse areas ranging from Food, Travel, Mortgage solutions, and Fashion to FinTech. Many of these ventures are led by first-generation Maharashtrian women entrepreneurs. OMPEG provides an excellent ecosystem consisting of volunteers and members. This ecosystem not only provides inspiration, guidance, mentorship, and networking opportunities but also crucial services for setting up and running a venture: accounting, legal, copyrights, branding, technology support. Finally funding avenues. (We strictly forbid championing any religious or political views in the OMPEG group)
