Creating entrepreneurs out of dreamers is Sonia Manchanda’s passion. Find out more about her labour of love – Dream:IN, here!
In a country of 1.2 billion people, it’s safe to say there is no shortage of dreams. We’ve all caught ourselves dreaming. Whether it’s about starting our own businesses or taking up an unorthodox career path – we’ve all dreamt of possibilities. Sometimes, these dreams have seemed outlandish to people around us. But dreams do come true. And if we want to make more of them come true, how do we do that?
Here is a conversation with one woman who is facilitating a means of turning dreams into realities. She is Sonia Manchanda of Dream:IN.
In a conversation with Lakshmi Rebecca, Sonia says, “We decided to look at people’s aspirations instead of just their needs, which allows us to work with them and not for them.” In the video below, she elaborates how she is helping people actualize their start up dreams.
Dream: IN is a non-profit that is encouraging Indians to dream and by doing so, is creating entrepreneurs in India.

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.
