This book brings forth the stories of twenty women entrepreneurs who have struck a perfect personal-professional harmony, and a chord with their immediate consumers. Their innovative ventures encompass a varied range of services – from supporting victims of acid attacks, to providing free skin care solutions; from online retail of lingerie, handmade bags and fashion accessories, to eco-friendly products of everyday utility; from pet care products, to quirky merchandise; from empowering folk artists, to providing clinical assistance to those going through tough times; from image consulting to house hunting; from arty solutions, to innovative marketing and corporate communication; from creating happy readers to making religious ceremonies simpler. Let's explore their journeys together in this microbook. Shall we begin?
Medhavi Gandhi founded Happy Hands to revive traditional/folk art and craft with an aim to empower rural artisans and hone potential in women and young people. The basic idea was born out of the distress of the artisans who were forced to sell their products not at the value of their effort and skill but at throwaway prices that was threatening their mere survival. “I knew right away this is what I had to work for", she says. Happy Hands found itself expanding and diversifying into different means for promotion of art and craft of the country. From workshops, to engaging in art, to corporate linkages for product supplies; from the innovation of a residency studio of art for artists, to a platform of education of heritage to rural and urban population. Feeling passionately for the artists she works with, the business woman also associates her moments of pride and success with the benchmarks of their achievements. Envisaging a socio-economic prosperity where a son doesn’t have to be embarrassed about his father’s craft, Medhavi is close enough to inspire a restoration of the art and heritage of the country which was on the brink of a silent demise. Combining her passion with a commercially lucrative blend, Happy Hands is an example many aspiring entrepreneurs can learn and be inspired by. You can check out Happyhands at www.happyhands.in
Make Love Not Scars, an NGO that works to stop acid attacks and other forms of gender-based violence, along with supporting the survivors. Ria Sharma was studying fashion at the Leeds College of Art. Coming back to India for research and documentation of her final project was a blessing in disguise for the young crusader. She went around the country recording instances, experiences and consequences of acid attacks on women. About these experiences, she said, "The journey consumed me with one experience after another. I knew I would never be the same again.” From understanding the situation of the survivors, to learning about the legal, medical, financial, social or emotional aspects of acid attacks and what it meant to support such survivors, Ria took small yet significant steps to embracing each of these hard hitting facts. Hundreds of survivors have found support and shelter in the organization. “I thought I was going to save them. But I eventually realized they were the ones saving me. They were rescuing me from all the material, inconsequential and superficial engagements of life. They were helping me embrace my own identity, my own existence with pride.” As a step towards internalizing this cause, Ria took a pledge to go make-up free 365 days. The twelve core team members were joined by some of the survivors who are now active participants in our daily activities. From being a self-conscious student studying appearances to a dynamic fighter who works hard to help women shed the boundaries of their looks, Ria has come a long way.

Richa Singh founded Your D.O.S.T to provide online counselling and support system to anyone in need through trained individuals. As an engineering aspirant preparing for entrances in Kota, Richa had first-hand experience watching people around her collapsing due to stress and pressure of their careers, emotions and expectations. During graduation, a friend, who had been going through severe anxiety owing to her job placement, committed suicide one evening. That was the turning point of Richa’s quest. With fond partnership and support from her now very good friends Puneet and Satyajeet, she started Your D.O.S.T - a service that enables people to vent out their problems, discuss them anonymously with compassionate and non-judgmental individuals. "Your D.O.S.T. stands by you with honesty and trust – something very hard to find these days”, she says. Heading a venture in the field of psychology, without her having any background of the subject also posed a considerable challenge. She spent a lot of time researching on the issue, and spending time through visits or calls with the experts to strengthen her understanding. In a fiercely competitive and self-centered world where almost everyone is stuck feeling alone in the crowd of many, she has brought hope and companionship into the lives of those who need it the most. She adds, "We need to break the shackles of taboo we have built around seeking psychological support in India." She also sends out a strong message to bring the men and boys of the country to be completely conscious about respect for women. As someone who closely encounters the challenges both men and women face in times of emotional crisis, Richa believes that equal and empathetic conduct towards one another can work as the best friend one needs in the world.

Masoom Minawala’s passion for fashion led to her brain-child Style Fiesta, an online destination for trendy fashion jewellery and accessories. As a child, her mother chided for her blatant ignorance of her feminine instincts. While interning at a brand marketing organization, one of her projects with the brand was involving fashion bloggers. This is where she had her first brush with the phenomenal concept. For her, it was love at first sight! Having explored and understood the dynamics of commercial blogging, the young learner, fresh out of college, started her own blog on fashion. About two years into blogging, Masoom had identified the opportunities and gaps in the online fashion space just waiting to be tapped. “I had travelled outside the country with my parents and had realized there was a huge gap between international fashion and what the Indian perception of international fashion was. This is the gap I wanted to bridge,” she speaks in a tone of determination. She then pursued six diploma courses in the Business of Fashion at the London College of Fashion & Central Saint Martins. Having returned, she started Stylefiesta.com in 2012 - a platform that offered attractive, affordable and accessible fashion from across the world. Now, Style Fiesta today has hundreds and thousands of customers from across the country, ranging from big metropolitan cities to small towns. With the support of her team of fifteen members, Masoom is an embodiment of what Style Fiesta stands for: sharing of style, elegance and joy with everyone. She aims to expand through a range of bags and shows. “If anything, we’re blessed with an undeniable charm that the opposite sex lacks, and we’d be foolish to not make use of it,” she adds, about being a woman.

Rachana Nagranee kick started Pitaraa with the motto of making Handcrafted Happiness available to one and all in the form of bags and other fashion accessories. Raised in the city of Lucknow, she graduated from National Institute of Fashion Technology and moved to Bangalore. Her trigger came when her husband gifted her a Singer sewing machine, and she ended up designing and stitching her first bag in a week. With the idea to kindle smiles on people’s faces, inspire joy around, and in doing so, to connect with their inner creative side, she started Pitaraa, which in Hindi means a chest or box to keep things. Five years on now, Pitaraa is a brand that is known for its personal touch and affectionate understanding of its users – a perfect blend of fashionable happiness. Their range of fashion solutions includes a collection starting from clutches and tote bags to jewellery and accessories of the latest styles. Signaturing typically with its unique style and spectacular designs of colour palettes, with an Indianized touch to fabrics and prints, the products offer an experience which is exclusive. “The pleasure of watching someone opening a ‘pitaraa’ and feeling the same affection and flavour that has gone into designing the product is exactly what we have to offer in the form of a box full of happiness,” explains Rachana. Pitaraa is now spreading its wings fashionably in the US, UK, Malayasia, Singapore and Hongkong. Showcased at the Rosemount Australia Fashion Week in May 2010, Pitaraa has found representation in front of some of the most renowned names in the fashion industry. Rachana envisages to bring Pitaraa to the reach of people of all ages and tastes. “Fashion solutions from seventeen to seventy years of age,” she states. Handcrafted bags and fashion accessories are just a click away at www.pitaraa.com
With a vision to change the entire convention and experience of lingerie shopping for Indian women, Richa Kar founded Zivame – an online lingerie retailer. After completing her MBA, Richa was placed in one of the coveted IT stalwarts of the country and delved into various segments of retailing, branding and operations. “I always knew I had to build something of my own. And I had clearly realized through my experience that if I did build something, it would have to do with the end consumers", she says. It was this eagerness to learn and her encounter as a consultant to a global lingerie brand that it occurred to Richa that this was an industry waiting to be explored. In 2011, she launched with the name of Zivame, which translates from Hebrew to 'radiant me'. "I wanted to create a place for women where they would be free to embrace their bodies and build their confidence; a place where her intimate necessity does not make her feel judged and disrespected, but rather makes her feel liberated and celebrated." Using the online platform for its privacy, Zivame aims to educate its customers about the category, and also provides for discreet packaging. To understand the buying patterns, likes and dislikes of her customers, she used to receive calls from users under the pseudonym Sindu. When Richa's mother first got to know that her daughter was getting into a business of selling lingerie, she was shocked. But that didn't dissuade Richa from building Zivame into an organization of over 200 members. Each new employee has to go through a signature 'lingerie knowledge test'. Zivame today sells more than one bra per minute and has has been the first online shopping experience for about 20% of women in the country.

An inquisitive scholar and researcher, a dermatology consultant by profesison and an entrepreneur by passion, Surbhi Mahajan holds an MBBS degree and is a university topper.

Commenting on the skin care industry, she says, "Making you look five years younger with a simple cream instantly has more to do with expert make-up and onscreen editing than the miracles of medicine. And once I had figured this out, I knew I had to find an authentic and unbiased solution for skin problems." She organized a blog for skin care advice with democratic access to readers. This was the first time free consultation on skin care was being offered online, open to everyone and free. The blog grew into dermatocare.com in 2012 - an unconventional online portal with professional medial aid offering online consultation, Q&As, and access to genuine, authentic product information for free.

Once this relationship has been built, consumers are encouraged to try credible and relevant products and meet consultants in clinics for advance treatments of further care. Surbhi has faced a lot of opposition of offering free consultancy as professional suicide. She was recommended to read the Bhagwad Gita which helped her find connection to her spiritual self. "I always see women around me being apprehensive of taking up their own work because they don't want to compromise with the family. I always tell them that on the contrary, it helps to bring independence and understanding that'll make you feel stronger and more motivated to balance all shades of your life."

Vidula Kantikar Kothare is the co-founder of Think Creative AdSolutions, which provides end to end solutions for marketing, advertising, branding, event management, among others. More than two decades ago, an art teacher in Mumbai was advising a set of parents to let their daughter pursue a career in art, a though very far-fetched and seemingly impractical at that time for the humble Brahmin couple. Nobody in the family had taken up the field of arts as a serious career choice. There were apprehensions through the years, but the teacher's recommendation resonated through the little girls' mind all along. Vidula grew up to study Applied Art and a dedicated specialization in Digital Media, and gained experience with some advertising agencies. Noting her strength in selling her creative ideas to people, and in coming up with out of the box ideas, she realized it would be more productive and lucrative to start something of her own. She and her friends formed a group that started freelancing. In one of their early assignments for a potentially big client, their only computer system crashed, and they had to borrow a local printer's machine and office space to get the work done. When they ended up bagging that client, they officially set-up as Think Creative AdSolutions, an agency that grew to be known as being heart-warming, cooperative and extremely meticulous. Vidula encourages her now 15-member team to read up and understand about all verticals that include the network of existing or potential clients. "Every opportunity to know and learn show be grabbed." Identifying women as multi-tasking geniuses, she revels in the true strength of being a woman who, as an individual is capable of independence, strength, responsibility and leadership.
