In our seventh story, we’re talking about Kaalratri, a powerful form of the mother goddess. She’s known for her strength in chasing away demons, evil spirits, and bad vibes.
We’ve had the privilege of interacting with some amazing women entrepreneurs, who, like Kaalratri, have their own strength and determination. They’ve used these qualities to deal with changes and make their businesses better.
We asked them how they’ve used their strength and determination to handle changes in their businesses, much like Kaalratri’s power to get rid of negativity.
Let’s explore how they’ve embraced change with determination and made their businesses grow.
Akanksha Hazari, CEO & Founder of LoveLocal
Kaalratri’s fierce energy, the power to confront challenges and eliminate negativity, has inspired how we approach change at LoveLocal. In a rapidly evolving market, we embrace transformation with strength and determination, whether it’s reimagining our operations, adopting new technologies, or challenging conventional e-grocery models. Facing disruptions head-on and making bold choices has allowed us to grow sustainably while staying true to our mission of empowering local retailers and communities.
Nidhi Sabbarwal, Founder, Kalyanamm Holy Waste Recycling Pvt. Ltd.
Kaalratri’s strength motivates me to accept change and transformation without fear. The incense market has long relied on charcoal-based products, and uprooting such a deep-rooted tradition was no easy task. There was resistance from both retailers and consumers, but we stayed true to our dream of creating ecologically friendly, sustainable products.
Evolution also came in the form of global expansion, adapting to international markets while retaining our Indian heritage. Every transformation brought growth and demanded focus to turn away from negativity. Embracing change has made Kalyanamm stronger and proved that real power lies in purposeful innovation.

Dishi Somani, Founder, DishiS Designer Jewellery
Change is inevitable in business, and I have never viewed it as a negative but as a support system for growth. At DishiS, we embraced digital platforms, e-commerce, and modern marketing strategies early on, marking a turning point that helped us reach a wider audience.
Power lies in letting go of what no longer serves growth and boldly adopting the new. I have always faced negativity, whether criticism or failure, with resilience in my convictions. Embracing change requires accepting risk, and I’ve learnt to welcome it.
Drishti Madnani, Co-Founder & Beauty Expert, Shryoan Cosmetics
Change has been relentless, and I’ve learnt to accept it with strength, not fear. At Shryoan, we evolved to a digital-first approach, built influencer partnerships, and developed products aligned with modern beauty trends. Negativity, whether doubt towards homegrown brands or industry criticism, has been met with unwavering resolve and answered through the strength of our work. Like Kaalratri, I believe change is a source of power that continues to push Shryoan forward.
Tejasvi Madan, Founder & CEO, Beyond Bound
Criticism has come my way more times than I can count, from strangers and even those I least expected. There have been nights of doubt and tears. But Kaalratri’s fierce energy fuels me to turn negativity into strength. Each challenge pushed me to refine designs, make bolder choices, and step into spaces where women weren’t always welcomed. Like a phoenix, Beyond Bound continues to rise stronger with every test.
Samiha Jha, Founder & Director, Sammyukk
Kaalratri’s fierce energy reminds me that transformation often begins with disruption. In business, I’ve had to be bold, letting go of what no longer served our mission, tackling uncertainty head-on, and accepting painful change. Those moments brought clarity and power. At Sammyukk, we see transformation as growth, not a challenge.
My advice to fellow founders: don’t fear change; harness it. Cut loose what dulls your light, stand strong in your power, and remember, every ending opens the door to a more aligned beginning.

Ambika Bhaik, CEO, Yellow Fertility
Change is imminent, but transformation is a choice. I’ve embraced it by fostering agility, adopting new business models, and aligning with changing consumer needs. Negativity often accompanies growth, but true strength lies in clarity of vision. I lead by focusing on solutions rather than setbacks.
Gopika B Raj, Co-Founder & CCO, MyDesignation
At our core, we see change not as disruption but as an opportunity to evolve. We began as a T-shirt brand, but as we listened to consumers, we expanded into new categories. We now define ourselves as an innovative fashion brand rather than just an expressive one.
We often draw inspiration from nature’s most resilient forms — the ability to endure, adapt, and thrive through challenges. That mindset defines our journey: embracing transformation with persistence, adaptability, and resilience.
Priyanka Jain, Co-Founder & Director of Marketing, Snow World Entertainment
We always believed that giving people full knowledge through experience was the only way to bring our vision to life. From collaborations with international leaders in gaming to curating world-class entertainment, every step required educating and engaging our audience. Transformation happens when you remove hesitation and make experiences accessible. The love and excitement we see from our visitors today reflect that real change begins with awareness.
