"After 10th I wanted to pursue a career in the field of arts/crafts/design. But, convinced by my parents, I chose commerce. Thankfully loved every bit of my accounts/economics/finance and went on to become a Chartered Accountant at age 22. Having a varied CA career, with a Big 4, top most Indian IT company as a Functional Consultant for SAP FICO module, CA practice; but, in spite of being capable of making an amazing career, it just didn’t shape the way I wanted and with due respect to personal priorities, I took a decision of quitting my CA career of 14 years, at age 36! IT WAS NOT EASY! I’ve cried in solace for nights as I was this “strong” girl who didn’t want to show her tears! But what next, was the question. Thankfully, as a family we were financially stable, and the obvious choice then, was to follow my dream, silently waiting for 20 years since my 10th standard, to be realized. Took the leap of faith and started my venture The Happy Me – Soulful Creativity, in October 2018, in the field of arts, crafts and design! Exhibitions, social media lives, setback of Covid, back stabbing by my so called ‘friends’ in this field, and now my very own e-commerce website! An amazing entrepreneurial journey where I’ve realized that my functional knowledge and experience of 14 years of working as a CA are kind of backbone of this journey, and still a long way to go! Super grateful to family and friends who stood by me and helped me, in all my decisions; and mentors who have helped me change the stories, connect the dots, understand my mistakes and learn from them, and helped me become a better version of myself! A long way to go here too!
My Super 500 Journey in the Super Speaker Reality Show has been inspiring and I hope my story inspires you!"
