SowmyaIyer, Founder & CEO – Clarity PR

The journey of an entrepreneur is bitter sweet for a simple reason that the risks are as high as the returns. When Clarity started out, our prospects didn’t show any confidence in our PR abilities. Now, in our team women outnumber men and I am so proud to say that there is nothing that cannot be achieved by women. My team is a power house of talent helping me to be where I am today. With women power, anything is possible. I am taking this opportunity to thank all my clients and associates and my incredible team for believing in me.

Geetika Singh, Founder- Akaaro Consulting and Training

“I am blessed to have a very supportive family and that too from a business background. At Akaaro, we provide end-to-end HR services for start-ups and corporate training for big brands. Being an entrepreneur has taught me a lot. But the reality is that people are still skeptical about female entrepreneurs. I strongly believe if one person can achieve it, then anyone can, irrespective of gender. At each stage be true to yourself and ask if you are actually adding value. Also appreciate the highs and lows of business and life cycle. Over the period, I realised that a great work culture is not an option but a necessity.”

Sanya Nakra, Brand Manager at leading QSR brand & author of The Girl Who Smiled

It is usually assumed that women cannot hustle or wear multiple hats. Women should not feel intimidated about treading unknown paths and exploring what they like. I've worked in e-commerce, FMCG foods, and now the QSR space, and I've followed my dream of writing and publishing books. Writing, up-skilling my knowledge and my quest to explore multiple arenas empowers me every morning, and to practice these is a nugget of advice I would love to share. However, irrespective of gender, working hard towards your goal is non-negotiable. Competition with yourself is how you accelerate your drive to success, and gender is not a comparison metric.
