Dr. Menka Yuvraj Varma Says Women Entrepreneurship Contributes A Lot To The Economic Growth
Nowadays women entrepreneurship contributes a lot to the economic growth. They are job creators for themselves and others and also provide society with different solutions to management, organization and business problems. However, the number of Women entrepreneurs is quite less and often face gender-based barriers to starting and growing their businesses.
Women entrepreneurs see the world through a different lens and, in turn, do things in a different manner. There are several reasons why women entrepreneurs have a fantastic future in the upcoming era.
· Women are better connectors and possess proficiency in networking.
· Women are perfectionists and never settle for mediocre results.
· Multitasking has been in their blood since ages.
· They build businesses that deliver value for multiple stakeholders – customers, employees, investors, and founders.
· Women think success comes from hard work not just from being “awesome.”
· Women share the credit. They build companies where employees feel valued for their contributions and input.
· They work in a calculated and well thought out manner.
· Women know the articulate methodologies to balance profession and personal life.

Well, will starting my business, I faced a lot of issues and Competition too, as at that time my company, was a small fish in big ocean. Our key challenges were to have an efficient team for quality service delivery and define very laser targeted audiences to cater. Funds and money was also a big constraint for us.
We were looking for the cost-effective solution of it, especially for the team. So, we end up hiring few freelancers across the globe for brand strategy, digital marketing, social media marketing, website and Search engine optimisation services.
Eventually, everything getting starting in a much-organized & better way, now, all is executing very well.

I am constantly creating and posting as much content as possible and in a way that is contextual to each platform.
Keep resolving others business issues and expanding oneself to solve bigger and better way. And Keep yourself away from Negative people.

What was or has been the most challenging part of your journey? How do you overcome the same?
The biggest challenge was the immense competition. However, challenges are the part of an entrepreneur journey. You need to sense the power of your small victory, appreciate the hustles and triple your strengths.
Well, to overcome of it, I did my best to build a robust work ethic. Did the extensive Market research and understand the Market condition, needs and demand? Accordingly offer the customized services.
As I was a start-up, I focused more on strengths, I deploy self-awareness. For New edge Entrepreneurs, it’s my advice to start paying attention to what you can deliver the best, what you can do perfectly. Start focusing & spending your time on what you’re good at, instead of criticizing all the time on what you’re bad at.
15. What is your idea of stress management?
Meditation and Yoga. Spare 10 minutes for Mediation and 20 Minutes for Simple Yoga Exercises to stay Stress free and fit at home at home, if you don’t have time to rush to the gym on daily basis.
Give some time to your-self onj daily basis. In that time, do what you enjoy and makes you happy the whole day long.
16. What do you do to escape the work life in your leisure time?
I love dancing. I’m a trained Kathak dancer. When I am not working, I love to dance and spend time with my family.
17. Where would you like to escape to for a holiday?
Didn’t find time to think about holidays!! However, since my childhood, I hardly got chance to stay with my parents. So, when time permits, I prefer to go my home town.
18. Whom do you consider your idol/role model or biggest motivator and why?
My One and Only idol is My Father who has not only taught me but proved me that no matter how hard life will be, always stay positive and continue to focus on work.
I’m self-motivated and I find motivation from successful and amazing people whom I follow. I am a great fan of Tony Robbin, Russell Brunson, Grant Cardone and Gary Vaynerchuk. They are the inspiration to so many people across the all walks of life.
19. What makes entrepreneurs different from service class professionals?
The foremost difference between an Entrepreneur and a service class professional is their Mindset and the Long-Term Vision.
For me entrepreneurial qualities include the risk-taking ability, ability learn something new every time, innovative thinking, management skills, leadership, proactive and out of box thinking.
You need to find very similar kind of abilities and qualities in your team as well to be successful.
20. Which part of your life would you like to rewrite if given a chance to restart with your career today?
Nothing as such. However, I focus more on My Entrepreneur Journey!! Now, I know absolutely what I’m doing, where I have to go and I really enjoy my work!! Somewhere, that was missing when I was working for others.
As an entrepreneur, I get the chance to doing things in a different and much better way today because of what I experienced in my past.
21. How has being an entrepreneur affected your family & Social life?
I strongly believe that the prime success in life is to have a balanced professional and personal life. And Spare time for those stuff that is actually important!
In fact, as a Women Entrepreneur I truly enjoy the time flexibility to adopt my own priorities and work schedules.
As far as my social life is concerned, with time I have seen people recognising me and respecting me. For now, they see me as a successful Indian Women Entrepreneur!
22. Is there anything, you’d like to say to our readers or upcoming entrepreneurs?
I think, this is the perfect time for Indians to be an Entrepreneur. There is serious mass acceptance of Internet and Mobile smart phones at presents. Business need to be streamlined and digitalized.

We flourish on outstanding Customer feedback and satisfaction and that’s what differentiates us. I believe that there are no short-cuts.
Why do you think start-ups are so vulnerable to the external business environment? What according to you are the threats to their stability?
Among the extreme accomplishments for entrepreneurs and start-ups who have had the absolute bravery to start their own venture, is the ability to sustain and nurture it.
Now a day’s business owners and new budding are facing many challenges and threats for their stability. Few key threats are Funding, Risk to Invest in business, huge competition, and exact marketing strategies.
