On the ninth day of Navaratri, we celebrate Siddhidatri, the final form of the goddess Mahadevi. Her name holds the magic of her powers: “Siddhi” means extraordinary abilities, and “Dhatri” means one who gives. She is believed to grant all divine aspirations and make dreams come true.
Inspired by Siddhidatri’s gift of turning visions into reality, we asked some remarkable women entrepreneurs to share how they’ve transformed their business dreams into real success and fulfilment.
Let’s explore their stories and see the steps they took to make their aspirations a reality.
Ambika Bhaik, CEO, Yellow Fertility
Building Yellow Fertility from dream to reality has been a mission of clarity, consistency, and empathy. The clarity was understanding precisely what space I wanted to fill in India’s fertility arena, bringing advanced reproductive care within reach, understanding, and reliable beyond the metros. Consistency was about being present every day, even when obstacles seemed larger than successes, from establishing world-class embryology laboratories to building the right medical staff. Compassion has been at the core, because success in fertility is not just numbers, but the happiness of families we assist in creating.
Samiha Jha, Founder & Director of Sammyukk
Siddhidatri reminds us that with belief, concentration, and effort, even the most ambitious dreams can become real. Transforming Sammyukk from a dream into a thriving business has been an evolution of intention, persistence, and deliberate decisions. I set clear objectives, stayed open to learning, and invested in a positive, ambitious team. Success, to me, is not merely growth in numbers; it is alignment and fulfilment in creating something purposeful.
To each woman building her dream: believe it can happen, support it with effort, and remain grounded in your ‘why’; that’s where success truly starts

Nidhi Sabbarwal, Founder at Kalyanamm Holy Waste Recycling Pvt. Ltd.
Siddhidatri sparks the energy of accomplishment, and for me, this meant taking a personal test and transforming it into a meaningful company. I started by identifying the issue of floral waste clogging rivers and incense smoke compromising well-being, and developed a solution in the form of natural, low-smoke incense. Early feedback from friends and family helped build confidence to expand.
From there, building a sustainable supply chain, using biodegradable packaging, and sourcing internationally propelled us forward. True satisfaction comes not just from growth, but from helping people practice rituals aligned with nature.
Dishi Somani, Founder of DishiS Designer Jewellery
Making my dream come true required passion, ambition, and planning. I started deliberately with designs true to my style and gradually built the brand with focus and consistency. Investing in quality, building customer trust, and keeping up with retail trends were crucial. Success, to me, is not just about sales, but about making women feel good when they wear our jewellery, creating lasting positive moments.
Vijeta Soni, Co-Founder & CEO, Sciative Solutions
Turning a vision into success required a stepwise approach. We began by understanding unique pricing challenges in each sector and then built AI products that delivered tangible ROI, which established credibility. Growing alongside our clients rather than just selling to them meant their success stories became our biggest growth lever. We expanded methodically across sectors without losing focus, ensuring disciplined and sustainable growth.
Tejasvi Madan, Founder and CEO, BeyondBound
Achievements are milestones, but fulfilment comes when a woman wears BeyondBound and feels unstoppable. Siddhidatri’s energy mirrors the sense of accomplishment I feel, not just in hitting goals, but in making a difference. Every stitch involves hours of testing, tweaking, and fine-tuning, but the true reward is when women embrace their strength through our designs. That is when the vision feels complete.

Gopika B Raj, Co-Founder & CCO of MyDesignation
Mydesignation is not an overnight success. Turning business dreams into reality has always been about hard work, managing self-doubt, and unwavering consistency. It begins with intention, staying committed, and trusting the process even when results are not immediate. I believe that good work done with integrity eventually finds its way. Success is not magic; it’s a balance of effort, patience, and intention. For me, staying true to my vision and letting meaningful work speak is what counts.
Priyanka Jain, Co-Founder and Director of Marketing at Snow World Entertainment
It started with a unique vision: to challenge the entertainment landscape in India. In the early stages, we avoided easier options to preserve the quality of what we deliver. Starting small, we gained confidence through positive customer feedback and gradually expanded our ventures. After a decade, we operate across India and aim to grow further. Personal satisfaction comes from customer joy; when audiences reflect fun and positivity, I know we delivered our purpose.
Akanksha Hazari, CEO & Founder of LoveLocal
Inspired by Siddhidatri, turning LoveLocal from an idea into a thriving business has been about setting clear goals, staying disciplined, and empowering the right people. We focused on solving real problems for consumers and local retailers, iterated based on feedback, and celebrated milestones. True success comes from creating an ecosystem where everyone benefits, retailers grow, consumers access quality products, and satisfaction extends beyond mere numbers.
Drishti Madnani, Co-Founder & Beauty Expert, Shryoan Cosmetics
We dream of a world where quality cosmetics are affordable, accessible, and inclusive. There’s a strong link between peace and innovation, as creating a culture that encourages thinking outside the box, supports work-life balance, and is transparent in decision-making, creativity thrives. For my fellow women founders, I always recommend focusing on empathy and flexible expectations. A supported team is more innovative and loyal, and a peaceful, respectful environment ultimately boosts productivity while attracting and retaining the talent needed to grow an innovative company.
