Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
Whether art or writing or fashion or anything else, moving from having a passion to creating a successful business is a long journey. Jainee Gandhi shares her experience as a fashion entrepreneur.
Many of us have an interest in fashion and may be extremely well dressed too; but Jainee Gandhi believes that fashion is more than just a passion or even a hobby.
In her case, she moved from being a fashionista to someone who saw a need gap in the market and moved in to address it. Image Consulting is still a very nascent industry in India, and Jainee’s talk (video below) takes us through that it means to be an image consultant.
More importantly, she talks about how she identified not one, but two different market needs, and has now launched a second business too.
Jainee began by consulting with individuals and organisations on branding themselves through their visual presentation, but has now also entered the women’s apparel market with Indie Attire, a work wear brand that is Indian, and caters to those who want to wear smart Indian clothes to the office.
Personally, I loved her tip at the end of the video – very simple, but so important especially for women entrepreneurs – that we need to believe in ourselves and consider our own work as important, before others will.
Watch and be inspired!

Dear Women’s Web Community Member,
You may have wondered at our being on the quieter side during the last couple of months. Thank you for your patience, and we wanted to come back to you with a detailed note on what’s been happening at our end of things.
When we first began Women’s Web, as a blog from one woman’s desk along with a few like-minded souls, little could we have imagined the heights that it would soar to. Over the years, Women’s Web has published over 20000 stories (almost all by women), empowered countless women with the ideas, community and resources to chase their dreams, employed hundreds of women in core and project-based roles, and in the process, emerged as the OG women’s community in India. It has also inspired many others to build communities of a similar nature, all enabling women (and other-underrepresented groups) in their own ways.
