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.

As long as teachers are competent in their job, and adhere to the workplace code of conduct, how does it matter what they do in their personal lives?
A 30 year old Associate Professor at a well-known University, according to an FIR filed by her, was forced to resign because the father of one of her students complained that he found his son looking at photographs of her, which according to him were “objectionable” and “bordering on nudity”.
There are two aspects to this case, which are equally disturbing, and which together make me question where we are heading as a society.
When the father of an 18 year old finds his son looking at photographs of a lady in a swimsuit, he can do many things. What this parent allegedly did was to dash off a letter to the University which states:
