Business is another field which has been dominated by significantly large male population. Whenever a girl decides to take up business as a career, generally, she has to face many challenges right from her own house. Most middle class population plead their daughters to go on the adventurous journey after their marriage! Above all, it's been thought that Business need more time and dedication and thus many aspiring ladies shy away from it owing to their family commitments.
This general mentality has not stopped thousands of women from being their own boss. Not only their own boss, many of them are bosses to thousands and giving others opportunity to stand on their own feet.
P. Sridevi
Born and brought up in conservative South Indian Family, Sridevi ate the forbidden fruit of 'Dare to Dream' and not only supported her own family during crisis but went on to set up her own production house. Her all women organisation has more than 60 women who make and sell eco-friendly products to prestigious Mother Earth brand. Yes! saw that showroom in the nearby mall? Now I have an idea from where some of it's beautiful products come from.
Mahananda
Victim of "Child Marriage" and "Flesh Trade (Devadasi)", Mahananda has emerged stronger than ever. Her determination to come of of never ending crisis helped her land in right place and with the help of micro-loan funded by Milaap, started her own sewing business. Currently, she is working hard to help other women like herself to start a new beginning.
There are many more inspiring ladies from Rural India itself whose stories would make anyone go week in their knees.
A simple search on Google with the phrase "Business women in India" would give eye opening results and prove that the farer sex is not a step behind when it comes to brains, corporates, education and being the BOSS.
