My own insecurity to take the “perfect first step” to start my business. Learnt along the way that I just had to jump in and figure out along the way.
What is the biggest mistake you made while starting your company/in the initial few years?
Not choosing the right mentors, not doing enough research and homework before collaborating with others.
If there was one thing you could advice to a budding woman entrepreneur, what would it be?

Neena grew up in a home where both her parents worked together in tandem to keep the house up and running. She had a blissful childhood in her modest two-room house.

When she was sixteen, the catastrophic clutches of destiny snatched away her parents. They passed away in a road accident and Neena was devastated. Relatives thronged her now gloomy house and soon it was decided that she should be married off.
