Chicago: An Assamese daughter is making her homeland proud. Ajanta Talukdar, hailing from Assam, India, has become a trailblazing woman entrepreneur in Chicago, USA. With her deep cultural roots and unshakable determination, she has made a lasting mark in the fields of fashion, women’s empowerment, and cultural integration.
Ajanta’s journey in the United States is not just about business—it is about purpose. Recently, she successfully organized two major events, Miss Bharat Illinois 2025 and the Chicago Fashion Show, at the prestigious Matrix Club in Naperville. Both events were massive in scale, drawing participation from over a hundred women. The platform offered participants a chance to express their identity, confidence, and individuality through fashion—while staying true to their cultural roots.
Her work in fashion is far beyond glitz and glamour. Ajanta uses fashion as a tool to uplift and empower. Her shows celebrate womanhood, tradition, talent, and self-expression, combining the vibrancy of South Asian heritage with contemporary American trends. Her efforts also open up space for local designers, promoting a blend of Bollywood elegance and regional creativity on an international stage.
“Empowering women through fashion is not just my profession, it’s my life’s purpose. I want every woman to feel her worth and stand tall in the world of fashion,” Ajanta shared.
But her mission doesn’t stop at fashion. Ajanta is also dedicated to women’s health and financial independence. She actively supports breast cancer awareness campaigns and is involved in real estate investment and IT entrepreneurship, expanding her influence beyond the runway.
Looking ahead, Ajanta has big plans for 2026. She aims to organize a large-scale fashion extravaganza and take Assam’s art and culture to the world stage by participating in the New York Fashion Week—a dream that blends pride in her roots with her global vision.
Her journey from the banks of the Brahmaputra to the heart of Chicago serves as an inspiring story of identity, leadership, and empowerment on a global stage.
