We’ve reached the fourth day of Navratri, where the spotlight shines on Goddess Kushmanda. Her name itself tells a story: “Ku” means a little, “Ushma” is warmth and energy, and “Anda” stands for the cosmic egg, the very beginning of creation.
Goddess Kushmanda is believed to bless her devotees with health, strength, and prosperity. Inspired by her spirit of abundance, we asked a few amazing women entrepreneurs how they’ve created prosperity in their businesses and what advice they’d share with fellow female founders chasing growth.
Let’s explore their stories and soak in the energy of Kushmanda together.
Nidhi Sabbarwal, Founder at Kalyanamm Holy Waste Recycling Pvt. Ltd.
Abundance, for me, is more than just financial wealth; it’s value creation for people, communities, and the planet. At Kalyanamm, we’ve turned waste into wellness by recycling temple flowers, creating livelihoods for women artisans, and providing consumers with better options. This abundance is a combination of business growth and positive impact. For other women founders, I’d suggest anchoring your business for a purpose bigger than profits. When your work serves people and the environment, abundance follows naturally. Be patient, remain innovative, and don’t be afraid of new ideas; true success comes from creating opportunities for others while growing yourself.
Tejasvi Madan, Founder & CEO, Beyond Bound
For me, creation has never just been about clothes; it has been about possibilities. Kushmanda’s essence of abundance inspires me to design activewear that celebrates women in their own skin. Each piece is crafted to be versatile and inclusive, with the hope that it adds confidence to someone’s journey. To other founders, I would say: create with heart, and the abundance of opportunities, growth, and impact will follow on its own.

Vijeta Soni, Co-Founder & CEO, Sciative Solutions
At Sciative, abundance has come from creating measurable value for our customers. Our clients consistently achieve 15–20% uplift in revenues, and that impact multiplies across industries, bringing prosperity not only to our clients but also to their entire ecosystems of staff, suppliers and customers.
For female founders, my tips would be:
- Root yourself in value: if your product or service improves your customer’s outcomes, growth will follow.
- Invest in scalable systems: build processes and technology that can grow with you.
- Don’t shy away from numbers: track metrics obsessively; data is your ally.
- Build networks of support: surround yourself with mentors and peers.
- Balance persistence with agility: keep moving forward, but pivot when needed.
When you create abundance for others, it always finds a way back to you and your business, in greater measure.
Drishti Madnani, Co-Founder & Beauty Expert, Shryoan Cosmetics
At Shryoan, we have achieved prosperity through value creation that goes beyond sales, while building trust and a loyal community. We have been intentional about affordable price points while maintaining quality, and this has given us a strong consumer base. To fellow women founders, my advice is to think long-term, create offerings that solve real-life problems. Success doesn’t occur overnight; it is the result of sheer determination, adaptability, and belief in yourself.
Ambika Bhaik, CEO, Yellow Fertility
Prosperity arrives when you think beyond yourself. By giving others opportunities, whether through jobs, partnerships, or innovations that create value, prosperity multiplies naturally. To other female founders, my advice is: don’t be fearful of scaling. Dream big, but pair it with structure. Develop systems where your imagination can expand, and always keep customers at the centre.
Dishi Somani, Founder of DishiS Designer Jewellery
At DishiS, prosperity has been created through creativity, customer loyalty, and strong relationships. I’ve always been committed to delivering value through craftsmanship, openness, and customer service. To my fellow female entrepreneurs, I’d say: build businesses on trust and innovation. Success comes when you create something that lasts. Teamwork and continuous upskilling also open new opportunities, even in competitive markets.
Priyanka Jain, Co-Founder & Director of Marketing, Snow World Entertainment
For a successful business, the aim is to create impact over revenue. When people walk into our ventures, we want them to leave with unforgettable memories. We have always focused on offering experiences that customers are looking for, and that is the success of our business.
Advice for other women entrepreneurs is to have faith and confidence in yourself that you can turn your idea into a successful venture. As no one out there is going to believe you until you have faith in yourself. Once the root of confidence is built, there is no looking back. Confidence comes when you are aware and have complete knowledge of the field you are entering.
Gopika B Raj, Co-Founder & CCO, MyDesignation
Abundance, for me, is peace of mind, knowing I’m doing what I love. Building a business you care about is challenging, and success is personal. It’s not just numbers; it’s about listening to customers, refining designs, and staying transparent. At MyDesignation, our pride lies in designs crafted with heart and effort, building trust and community along the way.

Samiha Jha, Founder & Director, Sammyukk
Kushmanda’s energy reminds me that creation begins from within. At Sammyukk, we’ve built abundance by nurturing a strong foundation, values, vision, and a supportive team. Prosperity isn’t just financial; it’s also impact, integrity, and meaningful relationships. My advice to women entrepreneurs: trust your intuition, stay consistent, and never be afraid to take up space. Align your business with purpose, not pressure, and abundance will follow in ways you never imagined.
Tanul Mishra, CEO, Afthonia Lab
Apart from the many things a business needs to thrive and grow, Bourdieu’s capital theory highlights three forms of capital: Economic, Social, and Cultural. For a business owner, accessing all three is essential for growth. Joining startup communities, incubators, and accelerators can help you gain this access. Additionally, focusing on execution and adopting an execution bias is key to achieving success.
Naina Ruhail, Founder and Co-CEO, Vanity Wagon
I nurtured my business with creative campaigns and strategies in order to achieve our goals and grow large. There are many factors that contribute to creating a prosperous business, but all of them converge to one aim – to foster a strong customer relationship.
For aspiring female founders, my advice is to be bold and not let yourself be confined by conventions. Always believe that the world needs a person like you who breaks the mould and creates a new one. So keep daring in your pursuits and carve out your unique path.
