In a country and society where traditionally, women’s roles have been restricted to home and domestic setups – it is truly a very proud moment when you see not one, not two but three Indian business women mentioned in the Forbes Asia Power Businesswomen 2022, a select list honouring 20 women for their outstanding contribution to the world of business.

1. Ghazal Alagh Ghazal is what you call an accidental entrepreneur. She noticed a significant gap in the Indian market for baby care products (most brands available in India were not toxin-free, leaving new parents with no other option but to find a way to source these products from outside India).

2. Namita Thapar Someone you couldn’t have possibly ignored, especially with her iconic ‘I Am Out’ tagline gaining some next-level popularity. Born to a first-generation entrepreneur, Namita completed her higher education in the US, and even worked abroad before deciding to return to India to take forward the legacy of her father.

3. Soma Mondal The third name on the list is the first woman to lead the state-run steel company SAIL. According to Forbes, SAIL’s yearly income increased by 50% during the fiscal year that concluded on March 31, 2022, after Mondal was appointed as the Chairwoman in 2021.

Three women, from three completely different backgrounds – making it to one list, sends a strong message, especially to aspiring women entrepreneurs. It truly doesn’t matter where you come from, what matters is what your goal is, and how much hustle you are ready to put in to get there. We hope this inspires other women to dream of taking that entrepreneurial plunge that they’ve always dreamed about. Like they say, start small, start with what you have. But start.
