Challenges faced by women entrepreneurs

Challenges are part of our lives. We all face challenges and sharpen our skills through the process. In the current scenario, one challenge troubling women entrepreneurs is a traditional mindset, not being taken seriously, and being doubted about their capabilities & commitments. In Koheli’s opinion, there are very few female leaders in our current socio-economic scenario and the primary cause is the support system. Working female entrepreneurs needs to strike a perfect balance between our professional and family responsibilities.

Koheli says, “My two cents here would be to work as a perfect manager at both the places – manage your home as efficiently as you manage your office team, apply your tactful management techniques at home and groom a stronger support system as you work towards building a strong office team.” Indeed, the stronger your teams, the more efficient you are. Koheli has never been evaluated as any less than any of her competitors of any gender. She believes every challenge builds a person strong.

Koheli starts her day at 6.30 with an hour of exercise. After managing her home, she reaches the office around 10 am. In the evening, she likes spending quality time with her kids. This is the best hour of her day which acts as a stress buster. After dinner, she takes out some time to read books or catch up with some OTT revolutions or a little stroll with the family.
