How did you get the idea of starting your own company? Initially I stepped into the business to maintain and retain my family’s goodwill but at a later stage realize the need of right financial advice is what is not easily available to the masses. It became a passion and today after 11 years , I feel happy when I look back.

It’s true that you are your own boss however at the same time you will find yourself working in all segments of the company in absence of even one team member. You have to be ready for new challenges and experience at all the times. Being a women and entrepreneur at the same time demands lot of hard work, lot of multitasking and lot of patience.

What are your views and opinions towards the ambiguous need to promote women entrepreneurship and women empowerment in India? Women entrepreneurs form almost 1/3rd of all entrepreneurs worldwide. They are almost in all possible sectors. Without any offence, I personally feel, what men can do, women can do it better.
