In the quiet streets of Rangapara, where aspirations often remain unspoken and opportunities feel distant, Sweety Agarwal grew up carrying a quiet but powerful dream—to create her own identity and build something meaningful of her own.

Her journey was not just driven by ambition, but also by purpose. Inspired by her father’s wish for her independence and supported by the people closest to her heart, Sweety chose to step forward with courage and clarity.

Alongside her, a strong pillar of support in her life has been her husband, Sarvesh Prakash, whose encouragement and belief in her vision played an important role in her entrepreneurial journey. With family standing beside her, Sweety found the confidence to transform her ideas into reality.

Her guiding philosophy remains simple yet profound:“I learn, I explore, I evolve—and I believe every learning is shaping my journey in every possible way.”

The Birth of UTTSAV EXHIBITION

The story of UTTSAV EXHIBITION began on October 8, 2018, not in a formal setting, but during a casual conversation with her bhabhi. What started as a small discussion soon turned into a meaningful vision.

Like any new venture, there were initial challenges, including GST-related hurdles and uncertainties. But a supportive conversation at a friend’s place reignited her confidence and reminded her of the bigger purpose behind her idea.

Encouraged by her brother-in-law and the enthusiasm of her sister-in-law, Sweety, along with the support of her husband Sarvesh Prakash, decided to take the leap of faith.

And thus, UTTSAV EXHIBITION came into existence—with a beautiful thought:“We create, you celebrate.”

A Journey Powered by Love, Trust, and Support

Sweety often describes her journey not in terms of struggles, but in terms of gratitude and blessings. She believes that with the grace of God and the continuous support of people around her, UTTSAV has always received overwhelming love.

Her family has been her backbone throughout this journey, while her friends have consistently encouraged and supported her vision. The contributions of communities like Wommaniaas and Ladies Circle India further helped UTTSAV grow into a recognized platform for entrepreneurs.

The stall owners and participants have also played an equally important role—bringing energy, trust, and collaboration to every edition.

Above all, the people of Guwahati embraced UTTSAV with warmth and enthusiasm, helping it grow into a celebrated exhibition with 20+ successful editions.

Recognition and Growth

Today, UTTSAV EXHIBITION is recognized as one of the leading exhibitions in Guwahati, known for its vibrant participation and empowering platform for businesses, especially women entrepreneurs.
