Stories are a way to connect people, to inspire, and to propel innovation. Meet Shradha Sharma, the founder of YourStory, a platform that brings together stories of 10,000 Indian entrepreneurs!
Here’s the story of a woman entrepreneur whose upbringing as a Bihari girl has influenced her journey, who faced challenges in being a female entrepreneur, and whose husband and dogs have been constant motivators.
For Shradha Sharma, the idea of YourStory.in began with a bit of Googling. The then CNBC employee was curious to read stories of Indian entrepreneurs whose businesses were interesting, out-of-the box ideas. Much to her surprise, Shradha realised that there wasn’t one platform that was dedicated to telling such stories and so, she founded yourstory.in.
“Being a child of the internet, I realised that it would be amazing to act as a conduit of these entrepreneurial stories to the rest of the world,” says Shradha, whilst sipping chai with Lakshmi Rebecca.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
