I had the comfort of monthly salary before starting my business so that comfort was no longer there and it adds a lot of financial strain. In business, for the first couple of years, you need to invest – invest – invest and you might or might not get returns. You have to take calculated risks in business. My son was just 1.5 yrs old when I started the venture. So, both my role as a mother & business owner have been demanding, yet fulfilling. In business, initially, you have to handle a variety of people across age groups & almost all business functions. It requires a lot of effort & time so that you can be impactful. So yes there have a lot of challenges but I have been trying to face them courageously & learn as much as I can from them. What message you want to give for other aspiring women entrepreneurs – Know that entrepreneurship is not just a career choice. It is a way of life!! Success here depends on how mentally strong you are. “You don’t pursue it for success to happen, you pursue it till success happens”! – You have to enjoy the journey. – Invest in yourself to handle every situation that might arise. – Whenever you have a low moment you have to get back up but never give up – Every individual has its own journey so craft yours well and every person has its own time to get things so take your own time.

PUSHPA L PATIL POORVA FOOD PRODUCTS MANUFACTURING Company Details Business for a women in Tier 2 cities is still a dream, Mrs. Pushpa L Patil, who hails from a Hubli, a city where women are considered to be Housewives, she too was a Housewife but was very entrepreneurial in nature, she loved to cook and one day she thought why not monetise the skill she had, this is how Poorva Food Products was started in the residence of Mrs. Pushpa, soon people started loving the wonderful taste of Kadak Jowar Rotti (an Indian Bread made of Sorghum which is crispy in nature) and her products had a some religious buyers, this lead her to think that why shouldn’t the North Karnataka Food be Packaged in a way MTR or Haldiram's products are and sell it through retail in major cities of Karnataka. In 2011, she employed two women to cook and package the food products, and one man to do sales in nearby cities of Hubli. In two years, there were 12 women working in production and sales was all over Karnataka. Mrs. Pushpa Believes it was all possible because they maintained the quality of the product and it was the taste of these products which reminded people about their home food. She says the marketing was all through word of mouth and different press coverings. Now after 6 years, Poorva Food Products has sales all over the world, and is now the largest manufacturers of Kadak Rotti and other Karnataka food Products. What challenges have you overcome to reach where you are now The biggest challenge was to convince the retailers to try the products and show the quality of the products to customers. Myself and my company motive is Quality and never a Quantity. I had to be on streets walking around each and every stores to ask if they could sell my products in there stores. But retailers never care about the quality they look for there profit. But thats what make me take the challenge and i started distributing free products so everybody could know what i meant about the products which i have and there health benefits. The more details i have attached a email and sent, so please go look into the email.

Multi - Location Training Infrastructure available : Conducts training on PAN India Basis, City: Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Delhi-NCR, Chennai, Kolkatta, Etc What challenges have you overcome to reach where you are now 1. Tough competition against male counterparts For a long time, entrepreneurship has been a field dominated by men. And while the scenario is changing, there is still a long way to go. For example, India has the third largest start-up base in the entire world. Over 1,000 new start-ups were added in the last year. Yet the percentage of female start-up founders in India is a measly 11%. 2. Limited funding Funding is crucial in order to start a business. However, a large number of Indian women do not have property or assets to their name. Hence, they encounter a problem while applying for loans due to lack of collateral. This isn't just a problem in India but across the world. A report by Bloomberg showed that women who own and run businesses receive a lot less funding as compared to what men get. 3. Work-life balance Women, across the world, are expected to play a larger part in handling a household and taking care of their family. Owning and running a business means long hours and thus, for women work-life balance can become a problem. In the case of working mothers, taking care of their children takes up a lot of time and energy, thereby often forcing them to give less priority to their business. Men, on the other hand, generally play a secondary role when it comes to household responsibilities. However, this situation seems to be changing now as more men are stepping forward to contribute to the household responsibilities. 4. Minimal support When you start an entrepreneurial venture and are finding your place in the business world, you need as much support as you can get. Unfortunately, in many cases, women find themselves on their own with no one to guide them. In this day and age, it is almost necessary to have experienced mentors and role models. For women, managing their business becomes even more difficult if their family and friends don’t step up to take some household and family responsibilities. As a result, it can be tough to make a mark in an arena that is already dominated by men. What message you want to give for other aspiring women entrepreneurs “Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. And, when you stumble, keep faith. And, when you’re knocked down, get right back up and never listen to anyone who says you can’t or shouldn’t go on.” To what do you attribute your success Do what you love. Surround yourself with people who believe in you and your dreams. Hitch your wagon to a winner. Be a professional. Trust your instincts. You are right. YOU are responsible for the condition you are in, so DECIDE exactly what you want to do. Website or Social Media Page www.pragatisoftware.com

Niyati Agarwal Morph.ai Business Development & Sales Company Details We are into Chatbot Space, since its inception, four years back. We have successfully been able to innovate new ways in which end users can reach their brands on their preferred mode of communication i.e. social media chat. What challenges have you overcome to reach where you are now Finding the right talent who is equally passionate and capable to take the journey ahead has always been one of our core problems. We have been able to find a few talented employees but the hunt is still on. Achieving a perfect work life balance has been the other key challenge. Over the time there has been significant improvement in this area, but keeping that perfect balance still has its scope for improvement.There is a quote of Sheryl Sandberg, “MEN you share some of the challenges/struggles ARE JUDGED BASED ON THEIR you may have faced getting to where you POTENTIAL; WOMEN ARE JUDGED BASED are? ON THEIR PAST PERFORMANCE”, and if Share any challenges you may have faced you are fresher and first time entrepreneur, the either in getting funding/leading teams/ journey gets even tougher. being the minority in your role/battling social It got really difficult for me in the beginning also norms or prejudices/lack of support from because there was absolutely no one to talk to. peers/access to mentors and support From attending social networking events to networks client meetings, the male person with me was given more preference even if that person was working under me. Being a young female entrepreneur, people didn’t think I had any technical knowledge. What message you want to give for other aspiring women entrepreneurs My only advice would be to “hold on”. At first, I thought taking the plunge was the most difficult thing I ever had to do. But overtime, I realised it takes more courage, determination and great perseverance to keep going. Though at the end of the day, it’s all worth it. There is nothing better than the satisfaction of being recognised and being able to achieve something, which everyone thought you could not do.
