When things do not go as expected, many might lose the courage to continue the journey. There will always be doubts – are you doing the right thing? At this crucial stage, along with the external barriers, one might start building their own extra barrier which would hinder their progress further.
Ask Nidhi Agarwal, if such barriers slowed down her venture’s growth and you would be surprised to hear the answer!
When Nidhi tried to get a round of funding for her clothing line, KAARYAH, she had to taste bitterness from all around. But that did not restrict her momentum in any form and she showed the courage by taking a difficult, yet much required timely decision of shifting the focus.
Few fearless decisions changed the face of KAARYAH and she is only thankful for having taken that bold step. At times, instead of trying too hard to solve a problem, shifting your focus to something else, doing your job at what you can do best will surprisingly give desired results in the long run.
What was the exact problem faced by Nidhi? What did she actually do to overcome it? Hear it from Nidhi herself in our video from the Breaking Barriers event that happened in Bangalore last month.
Nidhi Agarwal is now a successful entrepreneur determined to stay on that demanding path and today, KAARYAH stands tall among other notable fashion brands of the country.

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.
