Women entrepreneurs share with us the inspirational women who have fuelled their journeys. Watch an interesting short video to learn more!
Women don’t dislike other women for their success. In fact, they get inspired by their journey which gives them the self-confidence to be successful in life. In this video, a few women entrepreneurs share their thoughts on other inspirational women who have encouraged them. Contrary to the myth that women are envious of other women, there is a lot of solidarity, where successful women do inspire as well as mentor others on the same journey.
Rituparna Ghosh, the Founder of Your Story Bag, is deeply inspired by the Founder of Sheroes, Sairee Chahal. Rituparna has witnessed her journey and vision to completely transform Sheroes and build a beautiful business out of it. The says, “I think it is her passion for her vision and her dedication to create a world she wants, which is inspiring.”
The cofounder of The Pehnava, Anchal Makhija, has always been inspired by the Lijjat Papad lady, Jyothi Naik. She says, “We have seen the success but we have not seen the struggle behind the success.”
Yet another example is provided by Roshni Baronia, the Founder of Little Charms, who finds Kiran Mazumdar Shah, the Founder of Biocon an inspirational woman because of how entered into an entirely different field. Roshni adds, “She has the philosophy of building affordable innovations.” Another woman that Roshni gets her inspiration from is Anita Dongre, not only because of the brands she has built, but also by the way she has understood the consumer’s psychology and built brands according to that.
Inspiration builds our capacity to pursue our aspirations and do extraordinary things. With inspirational women like these and many more, women entrepreneurs in India are making their own dreams come true.

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.
