Interviewed by The Success Today – A Digital Webzine
Could you tell us about yourself and your work?
Born in Mumbai, brought up in Indore and post-marriage residing in Barshi, Maharashtra. I have always chosen the roads less taken, carve my own path and stay driven. I always had the urge and vision of establishing my identity in the entrepreneurial world and with my spouse’s support I was able to initiate a small step towards my dream a couple of years back
I would like to call myself a strong-willed, determined, approachable, happy-go-lucky kind of person in my personal life but when it comes to work; discipline and consistency are the keywords I hold onto.
Initially, I worked under a brand for about a year to gain some business acumen in the world where I was about to set my foot and then after a year, I got an opportunity to participate in an exhibition. I invested all my savings in that exhibition and the response was beyond my expectations. So from there on I began my entrepreneurial journey with a lot of interesting stories and learnings.
How you and your service is helping society?
“Women are the largest untapped reservoir of talent in the world” –
Hillary Clinton
An entrepreneurial mind always comes bearing solutions to the needs of the market or the rise of a new product. My idea was to introduce people to exclusive home décor stuff! This concept was absolutely new in Barshi and I knew that I will have to face a lot of interrogative eyes as women establishing their business in small towns is still not a cheerful subject for many. But I was ready to face those eyes and faces as transformation takes its own course of time.
Gradually when people began to appreciate the concept and quality of the products that I was dealing with; my husband and I thought of introducing another segment and we introduced te section for kids merchandise as well
And with that, the idea of building my own store paved its way
Today I have my own store which provides gifting solutions for almost everyone (males, females, kids, home, etc)
when you hear comments like “Hey Ankita you are an inspiration for me “ and “You encourage every woman u meet to create her own identity”
“your product quality is niche and so is your style of work” etc
When I commenced this journey, confidence, self-motivation, and dedication were my mantras to move ahead. I always encourage women to create a name for themselves in professional life and convert their passion into a productive source of income. , realize this fact that a woman is capable of balancing their career and family simultaneously. We, as a company, always focus on an ethical code of conduct and sell quality products at affordable prices. Another feather to my societal contribution is that i am an active member of an international women’s organization “the inner wheel club”. Currently, I am the editor of the inner wheel club of Barsi (2022-2023)
