“I studied in an all-girls school with the same rote, chalk, and walk education, where the emphasis was on your memory and not on conceptual understanding. I realised many students who were creative, or otherwise smart, were left demoralized because they couldn’t get marks. Hence, I started this movement of experiential learning. All my content, my entrepreneurship, is around helping people understand their own worth and value.
As someone from a ‘Baniya’ family, business was ingrained in me from a young age. However, I believe entrepreneurship is a mindset that exists in everyone, regardless of their background. My goal is to empower others to discover their potential and live a fulfilling life. This passion also led me to start my entrepreneurial ventures, Eternal Impressions and Save Our Planet Earth, which aim to empower others and promote sustainability.
For a very long time, I admired women who made a mark for themselves. Then came a day when some people became my mentors and said, “You should try putting all your wisdom out there.” I started writing, and when people started loving my work, I felt immensely satisfied. To stay updated on trends, I engage in reading, research, and social media, where I share content related to lifestyle, parenting, fitness and personal growth, including tips on sustainable living, mindful parenting, and entrepreneurial mindset. I listen to experts and understand what people need, striving to provide value.
However, I’ve also faced significant setbacks, including criticism and backlash from unexpected sources. But I’ve learned to stay focused, surround myself with experts, and continually seek knowledge.
The most valuable lesson I’ve learned is to stay true to oneself and not compromise values for material gain. This guidance comes from my mentors and experiences, and it has shaped my life and career. My message to the audience is simple: don’t follow the crowd or do something just because others are doing it. Find your passion, pursue it with patience and persistence, and stay committed to your niche. Ultimately, success will follow.”
