When the world paused to watch startups scale overnight, Bhumika Vagrecha quietly built two. Not from privilege. Not from a tech pedigree. But from conviction—and the kind of grit that doesn’t show up on pitch decks. At just 30, she holds dual titles that would intimidate most seasoned founders: Founder of FinMind Corporation, a Delaware-based fintech AI firm transforming credit risk analysis, and Evoltec Solutions, a Bahrain-based tech startup bringing smart ERP systems t

In 2020, when millions faced uncertainty, Lori faced reinvention. After losing her corporate job, she was left with a question many women ask in silence: “What now?” Instead of chasing stability, she brewed something far more powerful— Black•ology Coffee Company, a brand rooted in identity, inclusion, and inspiration. From her living room, Lori launched more than a business. She crafted a movement—a company that pours passion, purpose, and representation into every bag of

In 2010, from Belleville, Ontario, Tanya launched Cloud Business Services Inc. not just as another accounting shop, but as a lifeline for small and medium-sized businesses struggling to keep up with messy books and manual processes.

Divya’s entrepreneurial journey began not in boardrooms, but on the stage.

Sometimes, the best ideas don’t chase trends — they honor tradition.For Ragini Mishra Roy, founder of Varanga under Keshvi Fashion LLP, it was never about simply starting another clothing label. It was about creating ethnic wear that feels timeless yet effortless for the modern Indian woman. In a nation where fashion is deeply emotional, Ragini saw a critical gap — contemporary Indian women craved outfits that respected heritage without sacrificing comfort.Rather than foll

Some companies are born from opportunity. Others are born from purpose. For Sonal Singh, founder of Rian Placements in Hyderabad, it was always about purpose — to change lives one career at a time. In a world where the right job can transform a life, and the right hire can transform a company, Sonal saw recruitment not as a transaction, but as a mission. What began as a boutique recruitment firm has evolved into a trusted manpower consultancy, offering end-to-end solutions

Priyanka Rupani didn’t chase fame when she launched Social Beam in Hyderabad. She built it on a powerful fusion: data-driven strategy mixed with authentic creativity.

HiWiPay: Solving Real Problems for Real Students While advancing her career, Geeta identified a glaring gap — international money transfers for education were cumbersome, costly, and stacked against middle-class families. Thus, HiWiPay was born. HiWiPay simplifies overseas education payments through a digital-first platform and mobile app, offering streamlined transactions, secure KYC storage in India, wholesale FX rates, and zero hidden fees. Students can complete trans

Some journeys begin with a plan. Snigdha Singh’s journey began with a question: Can technology tell better stories instead of just making more noise? Years ago, while brands battled for shrinking attention spans and digital spaces became increasingly crowded, Snigdha saw an overlooked truth. People didn’t want more ads. They wanted stories that moved them.Armed with equal parts technological expertise and artistic instinct, she founded IIC Interactive Labs (Ink In Caps) —

Preeti Sharma, founder of Pragati Software Pvt. Ltd., understood early that in tech, success isn’t just about systems—it’s about people who never stop learning. More than thirty years ago, when IT training was a niche concept in India, Sharma envisioned a company that would empower not just skills, but careers. Today, Pragati Software stands among India's most trusted IT training providers, built on a foundation of tenacity, innovation, and unwavering relevance.

In a world where students are often measured by marks rather than potential, Anita Katyal Rane dared to ask a different question: What if we helped students find careers they could thrive in, not just colleges they could attend? That question led to the founding of Proventus Education in 2013—a Mumbai-based career counseling and education advisory firm committed to helping students discover their true calling.
