Born in a Gujarati Nuclear Family, brought up in Mumbai. I was a timid, underweight and fearful girl during my childhood. My parents played a very important role in what I am today. We got the freedom to take decisions, we had freedom to make mistakes and learn. My parents never told us (my sisters and myself) that we are girls and lesser than boys, they stood in front of every outsider who could possibly bother or influence us with the thought that we are girls and we were suppose to do and what not. Though we know, they had their own good time of people bombarding about how unfortunate they were to not have a son who will continue their family name. My parents shaped our reality, we are equals, we are only physically different from a male. My father is my first Business Guru, joining him in his business was my best decision. I learned the real life lessons – crucial of all (I believe) is how to manage and arrange finance. A business existence depends on how cash flow is managed. Second most important Business Lesson I gained in my early days with my father was being assertive and focused on Goals.
