Mrs. Aishwarya Mayur Waghmare, Founder of Sebra Shoes India LLP, received the Visionary Leadership Award in Footwear Manufacturing – 2026 at the Maharashtra Excellence Awards and Conclave 2026. The event was held on August 22, 2026, at Sayaji Hotel, Wakad, Pune, and was organized by Insights Success and powered by Insights Excellence Awards. Marathi actress Nivedita Saraf attended as Chief Guest. The award recognizes Waghmare’s work in building Sebra Shoes India as a name in footwear manufacturing based out of Pune.
Sebra Shoes India, under Waghmare’s leadership, operates as a manufacturing firm focused on producing footwear at scale, based in the Pimpri Chinchwad industrial belt of Pune, an area known for housing a mix of manufacturing and industrial businesses. As Founder, Waghmare has taken on the responsibility of steering the company’s production and business decisions in a sector that requires close attention to both quality and cost. Chief Guest Nivedita Saraf, known for her long career in Marathi cinema and theater, was present at the event, and her attendance added a note of warmth to a ceremony centered on business and entrepreneurial achievement.
Running a footwear manufacturing business involves managing everything from raw material sourcing to production timelines, and Waghmare’s role at Sebra Shoes India reflects a hands-on approach to these day-to-day demands. Her leadership in a manufacturing-heavy sector points to a willingness to work through the operational complexity that comes with producing goods at volume, rather than outsourcing the core parts of the business.
As a woman leading a manufacturing venture, Waghmare’s work also stands out in an industry where women founders are still less commonly seen at the helm of production-focused businesses. Her continued involvement in growing Sebra Shoes India suggests a leadership style built on staying close to the ground realities of manufacturing, from the factory floor to business planning.
The Visionary Leadership Award in Footwear Manufacturing adds to the recognition Waghmare has built through her work at Sebra Shoes India. It reflects the effort put into establishing the company within a competitive and demanding manufacturing space.
