Starting A New Business? 7 Key Points To Keep In Mind.
At 18, P.V.Sindhu has deservedly won a position among the top 10 in the Badminton World Federation rankings for women’s singles.
The daughter of two star volleyball players, Sindhu took up badminton at a very young age, inspired by Pullela Gopichand. Due to her constant and consistent efforts, Sindhu has gradually improved her game and has eventually proved her skill in badminton, making us all proud.
Sindhu has won several important international and national championships already, over the course of her relatively short career so far. Although she recently lost to Saina Nehwal in the Indian Badminton League, nevertheless, there is no doubt that the gifted Sindhu is indeed the next rising star to watch out for in Indian women’s badminton.
Sindhu’s fighting spirit, hard work and the willingness to learn will stand her in good stead and will take her a long way in her chosen sport, and in life itself.
Why we find her inspiring:
– For impressing us with her talent and attitude.
– For the dedication she shows to her game.
– For being a role model to the young girls of today.

One wrote in a now-deleted post that when they were looking for a bride for her brother, the eligible women all laid down impossible conditions – they wanted the groom to be not more than 3 years older than them, to earn at least 50k per month, and to agree to live in an independent flat.
Most of my women clients are caregivers—as mothers, wives and daughters. And so, they tend to feel guilty about their ambitions. Belief in themselves is hard to come by.

“I don’t want to take a pay cut and accept the offer, but everyone around me is advising me to take up what comes my way,” Tanya* told me over the phone while I was returning home from the New Delhi World Book Fair. “Should I take it up?” She summed up her dilemma and paused.
I have been coaching Tanya for the past three months. She wants to change her industry, and we have been working together on a career transition roadmap.
