Nagpur: In a bid to create an eco-system for women entrepreneurship in city, Entrepreneurship Forum of Vidarbha Industries Association (VIA) held a panel discussion on ‘How I started a successful business’ at VIA auditorium on Monday. Four young women who had the courage and conviction to take up business as their profession shared their success story on the occasion.
Akash Agrawal, chairman of forum said, “We aim to glamorize the concept of women entrepreneurship as Indian females are naturally suitable for it due to their upbringing. They are emphatic and do multi tasking which are favourable for business but they lack exposure and encouragement.”
Speaker Bhavna Janbandhu discussed how she was struck by Rheumatoid arthritis during her college days and was bed ridden for four years. Her strong willpower helped her spring back to life after which then she never looked back. Indian ladies are often pressurised for marriage but she chose to break the stereotypical rules and make her own way.
Founder of BJ’s Color N Patterns, a leading manufacturers of hand painting and embroidery textile products, Bhavna is inclined towards social work and is creating employment opportunities for women of Sindewahi village in Chandrapur district which is also her native place. She said, “Mindset matters more than the qualification so think wisely and believe in yourself.”
According to Deepshikha Thakur, founder of the event designing company ‘The Dream Catcher’, right perception plays a major role to make any business run smooth. She said, “You must do ample of research to know your product inside out. Meet people who have been working on the similar lines to get first hand information. You should play smart while managing your accounts as it is important to know the loop of the money system to avoid mess in future.”
Thakur also stressed on upgrading and redefining business to keep up with the changing trends to stay afloat. She advised the attendees to keep their spirits high and never get carried away by judgment of others. Business involves risks so trust your instincts and capabilities, she suggested.
Speaker Rashmi Kulkarni agreed and said, “One should adapt new changes and tackle all challenges by converting them to opportunities. Consider failure as a lesson and bounce back with more enthusiasm.”
Owner of Navitas LED lights, Kulkarni discussed about her struggling period where a big project slipped out of her hands. Without wasting time she decided to use her knowledge from electrical engineering and came up with the idea LED lights four years ago when it was less common.
Psychotherapist Kavita Saraf who owns an exhibition gallery, decided to switch her business and pursue a courses in psychotherapy. Since two years she is conducting therapies, counselling and training sessions for holistic development of youth through her firm ‘Meraki’ which means doing something with soul.
