The will to stand on my own and be independent is what made me the woman I am today. To be in a male dominant world for me was difficult. With that, I also wanted to do something I loved, and which made me happy. I didn’t want to go back to my monotonous life again. All these reasons encouraged me to start my own business.
Sudha Narayan Murthy. From having nothing to building an empire, while managing her family, never giving up on her goals and dreams, inspired me a lot. Reaching out to the disadvantaged, helping the less fortunate are other things which I inculcated from her.
I was going through a divorce. I was broken. I didn’t really have anyone. I had to pick myself up. It was a bad phase of my life. But again, they say that everything happens for a reason. I grew stronger. I was dependent just on myself. I didn’t have the necessity to reach out to anyone for help. I learnt my lessons and never repeated the same mistakes.
Your previous mistake is your future teacher.
I knew I wanted to be around kids because that’s what made me happy. I knew I could connect to kids better than anyone. What I didn’t know was how to establish it in the market. This was a huge deal for me. I applied the trial and error method. I made sure to learn from my mistakes every time I tried something new. This is how I achieved my goals.
Nobody really bothered about mental health. Like when I was going through my difficult phases, I hardly had anyone around me, except for few. As adults, we can identify our problem. But the kids really don’t know what is wrong or what is right. They don’t know that they have a problem all together. So, this is how I identified the opportunity in the market and again, I knew this is what I wanted to do, and this would definitely make me happy.
I’m hellbent on anything that I’d want to do or achieve. I am like an arrow. I just strive forward, and never look back. I have stopped carrying baggage, and never intend to carry either.
I was awarded with “The Best CEO” by India Leadership Awards. I was also awarded a vocational excellence award & women empowerment award from the rotary club. I was also the guest of honor for Miss & Mrs Asia Pacific, 2019.
