Women entrepreneurs worldwide are carving out a niche for themselves in unconventional businesses. Take Aakanksha Bhargava. She joined her father’s logistics business in 2007, and for the longest time, subordinates did not take her seriously. Fast forward to 2017 and she is the undisputed boss. Yes, the boss daughter, but still the boss, and over the last decade, she has helped grow the business exponentially.
“I worked hard to change the perception of the people as well as the fortunes of the company,” she said. Bhargava asserted there are no differences between a woman and a man when it comes to business.
And then there’s the founders of cow-based sustainable living company A2 Naturals, run by Shivali and Radhika Miglani and their mom.
“Extensive R&D into merging the traditional with the modern led to developing a range of cow-based, daily-use products,” said Radhika, adding that the quirkiness of her business is often frowned upon.
