For our fifth Navratri story, we turn to Skandamata, the goddess known for her nurturing and supportive nature. Much like her, women entrepreneurs play a similar role in guiding and uplifting their teams.
Inspired by this, we asked some incredible founders how they build strong relationships at work and how women can create positive, supportive spaces for each other in business.
Just as Skandamata blesses with strength, wisdom, and growth, these leaders share their insights on building successful and empowered teams.
Here’s what they shared
Akanksha Hazari, CEO & Founder of LoveLocal
Much like Skandamata, I believe leadership is about nurturing with care and responsibility. At LoveLocal, I focus on building genuine relationships, giving teams the space to grow, and supporting them through challenges while celebrating their wins. For female founders, creating a positive work environment starts with empathy, open communication, and leading by example. When we support and uplift each other, we don’t just build stronger teams, we create workplaces where people truly thrive.
💡
Key takeaway: Empathy and leading by example are central to building thriving teams.
BeyondBound isn’t just my dream, it’s a collective one. The way Skandamata nurtures, I try to bring the same spirit into how I work with my team. Every win feels sweeter when it’s shared and every challenge feels lighter when carried together. I’ve seen firsthand how a culture of encouragement fuels creativity and how women uplifting each other creates unstoppable momentum.
💡
Key takeaway: Shared victories and encouragement foster creativity and momentum.
Dishi Somani, Founder of DishiS Designer Jewellery
Keeping close relationships with my team has been crucial for establishing DishiS in a crowded market. I am a firm believer in open communication, acknowledging efforts, and providing room for creativity. A founder must lead and mentor, but also trust the team to perform with their expertise. For women founders, a good work environment leads to cooperation over competition. Backing each other, exchanging knowledge, and celebrating victories together create an environment where productivity excels alongside creativity.
💡
Key takeaway: Trust and collaboration boost both creativity and productivity.
Vijeta Soni, Co-Founder & CEO, Sciative Solutions
Teams thrive on trust and empowerment. At Sciative, we nurture talent by giving people ownership of problems and the freedom to innovate. We invest in learning, encourage cross-functional collaboration, and celebrate both small wins and big milestones. For female founders, I’d say: lead with empathy. When people feel supported, they naturally perform at their best, and the business grows with them.
💡
Key takeaway: Empowerment and ownership lead to peak performance and growth.
Shryoan has been a community experience, and creating our team has been part of that journey. We communicate openly, celebrate the wins, and treat each member as special; that is how I see building a team. Similar to Skandamata, I believe that when a supportive environment is created, people can be the best version of themselves. For women-led companies, an enriching work environment builds creativity, inclusivity, and collaboration. Empowering women to support each other in teams creates productivity and fosters growth and trust for mutual success.
💡
Key takeaway: Supportive and inclusive environments unlock creativity and mutual trust.
Samiha Jha, Founder & Director, Sammyukk
Skandamata reminds us that authentic leadership is nurturing, not controlling. At Sammyukk, I’m committed to fostering relationships of empathy, respect, and mutual growth. A solid team is one that’s seen, heard, and believed in. To fellow female founders, my advice: lead with empathy, prioritise collaboration over competition, and build spaces where women support each other. A positive culture begins with small, thoughtful gestures, listening, mentoring, and acknowledging effort. When individuals feel appreciated, productivity and meaning come naturally.
💡
Key takeaway: Empathetic leadership and recognition drive meaningful productivity.
Skandamata’s nurturing nature lies at the centre of how I work with my team. Most of our artisans are women from smaller towns, and I view developing them as not merely giving jobs but building a secure, empowering platform. We promote skill development, open communication, and celebrate small successes. This generates trust and loyalty, which manifests in the quality of our output. A supportive, respectful work culture in which women encourage each other promotes productivity and teamwork, creating long-term stability and growth.
💡
Key takeaway: Nurturing and skill development creates loyalty, quality, and sustainable growth.
Gopika B Raj, Co-Founder & CCO, MyDesignation
It’s all about emotional connection. I spend time talking with my teammates, understanding what they want, and giving them the freedom to express themselves. Everyone is equal, and I encourage open sharing of suggestions, concerns, and ideas. I focus on character and attitude first. I also remind the team of our roots and values, and lead by example, staying energetic, curious, and creative, no matter how big the company grows.
💡
Key takeaway: Emotional connection and leading by example build committed and engaged teams.
Ambika Bhaik, CEO, Yellow Fertility
I think culture is the real support of any company. I encourage teams by listening, mentoring, and giving individuals room to take ownership. A healthy work culture isn’t developed overnight; it takes empathy, appreciation, and responsibility. For women founders, uplifting each other through networks, partnerships, and shared tools can drive joint success.
💡
Key takeaway: Empathy, mentorship, and collaborative networks strengthen company culture.
Priyanka Jain, Co-Founder & Director of Marketing, Snow World Entertainment
Teamwork is the backbone of any business. At Snow World Entertainment, our strength lies in our team. We have policies to strengthen our internal team, hold interactive sessions to discuss issues and brainstorm ideas, and then execute learnings. I stay connected across departments, from marketing and design to ground staff and guest services. When people feel seen and valued, they take ownership. As I’ve seen, leadership skills and effort can create remarkable outcomes, regardless of prior industry experience.
💡
Key takeaway: Inclusive communication and recognising contributions drive ownership and growth.
What’s Emotional Intelligence? Described as a concept that involves the ability, capacity, skill, or self-perceived ability, to identify, assess, and manage the emotions of one’s self, others, and groups.
Emotions affect our behavior and also hold the power to influence the way we think. Referred to as Emotional Quotient (EQ) and Emotional Intelligence Quotient (EIQ). Emotional intelligence can be described as one being aware of the emotions of one’s self and that of others and using them to guide behavior.
There are two sides to Emotional Intelligence, including being able to recognize emotions in ourselves and responding to them. And being aware of the emotions of others, using it as a guide to managing behavior.
There are two sides to emotional intelligence, including being able to recognize emotions in ourselves and responding to them. And being aware of the emotions of others, using it as a guide to manage behavior.
Focusing on the following abilities:
To assess how others feel
Be conscious of how others feel
Connecting with others
Identifying emotions
Controlling one’s own emotions
Using emotions to aid social communication
The four main elements of Emotional Intelligence include:
Self Awareness
Self-awareness refers to the ability to recognize one’s emotions correctly and be aware of your thoughts and handle your feelings. Keeping track of your emotions and being conscious of how they affect others as well.
Self Management
Most of the time you cannot control what’s happening around you in your surroundings but you definitely can control how you respond to it. Self-management is precisely the same; it includes managing stress, motivating oneself, controlling one’s impulses, and regulating your thoughts and emotions in various situations.
Social Awareness
Social Awareness includes considering things from another point of view. Understanding different perspectives and standpoints of others. Social awareness plays a great role in society helping one be an empath, collaborate and share information with others. Lastly, it makes the process of communication easy.
Relationship Management
As the name implies, Relationship Management in context with emotional intelligence includes enhancing your listening and speaking skills, conveying your emotions in a non-defensive way, the ability to deliver and accept feedback, resolving conflicts, and being respectful and appreciative of others. Leaving others with a positive impact.
Why is Emotional Intelligence More Important Than Intelligence?
Having a high level of Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is not the only essential aspect of guiding a leader. EQ is equally critical to having balanced leadership. Studies have shown that emotional intelligence might be even more essential than cognitive intelligence. Asking how you feel could be a key question in understanding and being self-aware. How? We will explain that further.
In relation to Entrepreneurship, There’s so much buzz these days with emerging startups, entrepreneurs, and breakthrough products in the market. But what is the meaning of entrepreneurship, anyway?

Diffuse Conflicts
Arguments may occur when differences in opinions may arise, things might take a quick turn when things turn heated and neither is ready to understand the importance of being aware of the other person’s feelings. Turning it into a conflict that makes the surroundings stressful. One learns to be able to handle distressing emotions effectively by adapting to situations and practicing flexibility. Handling communication tactically and effectively managing conflict helps maintain harmony.
Effective Communication
Communication is important in any relationship. It involves the encoding and decoding of the message. Communicating does not only involve the message, but also the way you say it and decode it. Technology has made the process of communication so much easier now. It only takes seconds for you to deliver your message to the other person exactly the way that you want it.
Proper and effective communication is a very important part of Entrepreneurship. In a business setting, it can make or break a deal. Communicating consists of both verbal and non-verbal communication. A higher level of EQ makes you good at reading the body language of a person, making you better at non-verbal communication and working in group environments better.
By gaining a sense of self-control, you can communicate clearly rather than letting your message be clouded by your emotions and respond to a situation in a calm, measured, and reflective manner. You can control your reactions. You are confident and communicate your thoughts with clarity and with effect while communicating. Not only that, but you allow yourself to communicate better, you tune into other people and notice them. EI strengthens your communication skills.
Your employees are the most valuable assets to your company. So, you have to be careful with how you connect with people and understand them.

When you are critically aware of their emotions, you can better manage them, Change the magnitude of the efficiency of your employees’ performance, predict their job performance as well as retain them.
Establishing a Clear Vision
Leadership requires you to have a clear vision and be able to communicate it continuously and creatively. It’s important to look at how your employees feel about certain goals and challenges in your team. It helps you read and manage the energy in the room and better understand how to channel it.
With Emotional resilience learn to bounce back at the challenges, crises, failures, setbacks, or difficult situations thrown at them which happens more than often in the business environment. Entrepreneurs adapt to them in a positive manner. With higher emotional intelligence comes confidence, positivity, and stability for a leader to bring the organizational vision into the light and turn it into reality.
Inspire, Motivate and Tackle Self-Doubts
EQ teaches you how to bounce back, which leads to a better flow of emotions between your rational and emotional brain. Allowing the rational brain to understand the emotions better. Rather than acting impulsively and preventing you from drowning in them. It transforms poor experiences into great ones rather than just assuming the worst-case scenario. You become more introspective.
Practicing emotional intelligence makes one aware of one’s own strengths and weaknesses, which is beneficial to tackling self-doubts that come your way. You are intrinsically motivated and driven by passion which makes you action-oriented, and committed to what you do and enables you to take initiative. Emotional intelligence is important for one to be able to achieve new goals and better ways of learning to do things.
Improves Social Skills
Social skills are a huge part of being an entrepreneur. Collaborating with other people or organizations with whom your goals align requires social skills. Being able to persuade others and coordinate and cooperate with others to collaborate with other organizations working towards similar goals. Guessing social cues, taking initiative, and negotiating are some significant skills that are required for you as an entrepreneur to thrive.
Team building
With a high level of EQ, you become proactive and take the initiative to manage those around you, becoming well aware of their emotions. People want to feel valued and appreciated. As an entrepreneur with high emotional intelligence. You not only perform better but also build a cohesive team that enables problem-solving, and creates a positive environment with empathy. And direct the team towards working on the main objective of the group.
Make it a practice to connect with your emotions. Being vulnerable takes courage. Talking about your emotions and being self-aware will help you so much rather than just blocking them and not acknowledging your emotions. Talk about your emotions with someone you trust. Remember, there is no just thing as good or bad emotions. Let your mind process what you are feeling. Align your head with your heart. Accepting and acknowledging your emotions can be the first step in practicing emotional intelligence.
Connect Emotionally With Others
When someone is talking, actively listen to them. Be present and observe their body language and gestures and read the non-verbal cues. A professional surrounding does not mean there shouldn’t be an informal conversation, if so, create the space for non-professional dialogue to flow. Conversations around non-professional matters will help you connect and understand the other person better. Respect the emotions of others, offer new perspectives to them, and give them where necessary. Not everyone can understand emotions naturally but emotional intelligence can be practiced and put to use.
Use Your Team’s Feedback
Let your colleagues all chime in when you understand what they are saying. You can better understand the problems existing in your organization and find a way to change them, which in turn makes room for everyone to grow. Conducting feedback sessions can be a great tool for group improvement.
Other tips to improve emotional intelligence include:
Use gratitude practice
Tune into your emotions. Monitor and track your own emotions and see how they affect others. You can maintain a journal to help understand how you feel.
See how you as a leader are affecting the people that need you to guide and direct them
You can make space for emotional intelligence to grow by surrounding yourself with people who have a positive outlook on life and are willing to support you

Practice empathy by accepting and being respectful toward the feelings of others
Create a positive atmosphere in your office spaces where everyone’s opinions are welcomed. Which will help the members be proactive and innovative.
Conclusion

Emotional intelligence has the power to encourage entrepreneurs to do better and redefine what entrepreneurship means. These practices are sure difficult to put into practice but can be induced in our day-to-day activities in an organization.
Reviewing the outcome of practicing emotional intelligence, one will realize that we can create entrepreneurs that are better leaders, working in fast-paced environments that can effectively manage their teams as they have their teammates have their emotions in check with what they do.

Digital transformation is accelerating at an astonishing rate. Businesses are changing how they organize and operate. Companies can benefit from adopting digitally native concepts to remain technologically relevant. They must embrace new ways of working to stay consistent with digital advancement. Time and efficiency are vital to creating new digital products and services within specific time frames.
Many conventional organizations are shifting towards having multidisciplinary teams with various capabilities. Multidisciplinary, collaborative teams are not a new concept in the current workplace. IT professionals have regularly worked alongside multiple departments to create digital solutions. These collaborations have become increasingly common and will continue to be a necessity in the future.
Currently, digital transformation is being implemented at a rapid speed. These tech solutions are solving an ever-expanding spectrum of challenges and activities. All businesses should ensure that their products and services are ahead of the competition and fulfil customer needs. To achieve this, many companies are opting for fusion teams.
Fusion teams represent a new age of value creation. A fusion team combines technology or analytics and business expertise and shares responsibility for both business and technology outcomes. Fusion teams are multidisciplinary and are not grouped by roles and tasks within companies.
In fusion teams, the responsibility for the solutions they create is shared. Individuals are put together based on results and not on business operations. These teams are formed to digitalize company capabilities. This is done by using technological solutions to achieve business or consumer goals.
A fusion team is created by putting together many experts from different business areas. These individuals share business goals and relate with their teams rather than their areas of expertise.
These teams have leaders who go above and beyond the traditional responsibilities of agile product owners. They drive the strategy, planning, and resourcing for their teams, and tend to have full responsibility for results.
Fusion teams vary from conventional interdepartmental teams in one significant way. They can implement their innovations directly to users since they have all of the expertise required to develop a functional product.
Projects, activities and responsibilities are distributed effectively throughout the company to run concurrently. This avoids the administrative layer between project creation and deployment.
Benefits of Fusion Teams
Fast-Paced Project Development
With fusion teams, products can be released about 2.5 times faster than traditional methods. This is done by eliminating interdepartmental assessments and middle-level management, which monitors larger projects and causes roadblocks in the development of the project.
Autonomy and Accountability
Fusion teams provide complete freedom to respond to challenges and opportunities as they occur. They are also allowed to create products based on the ways they feel will perform the best.
Autonomy is encouraged and accountability is shared among the team members. If a product is late or fails to function properly, the entire team bears the brunt. Fusion teams enhance both individual efforts and reward effective collaboration.
Effective knowledge sharing
Multidisciplinary teams provide better knowledge sharing across the organization by frequently engaging with colleagues. They improve information flow and allow employees to effortlessly learn from one another. Such arrangements enable easy access to information that would otherwise be unavailable.
Better products and solutions
Each team includes business specialists, who have industry-specific knowledge and are skilled with all functional procedures. This improves the chances that the solution will provide the intended results.
When subject-matter experts who are connected to consumers or internal users work on technology, the resulting product or solution is more likely to offer value and foster employee and customer-centric experiences.
How Are Fusion Team Leaders Different From Others?
Fusion teams are speeding up digital transformation in a variety of important business areas such as product development, direct marketing, customer experience, operational efficiency, data gathering, and distribution processes.
Experienced fusion team leaders have good digital discernment that allows them to effectively align team outputs with business objectives. They are responsible for the risks associated with their technological decisions, such as using no-code platforms or relying largely on IT professionals throughout the product lifecycle.
When it comes to enhancing digital judgement, CIOs play a vital role by giving access to IT subject matter experts who assist fusion team leaders in understanding the impacts of their technological decisions. These are a few ways in which the fusions teams differ from traditional teams.
Do You Need Fusion Teams in Your Startup?
The short answer is, yes. Because fusion teams create a solution to improve digital/company operations or customer satisfaction on their own. Organizations with cross-functional fusion teams and business-IT collaboration are significantly better positioned to respond to unexpected difficulties quickly with increased confidence. They can operate efficiently and change directions quickly while generating more value for the company.
Similarly, low-code and no-code platforms are making citizen development increasingly easier and more accessible. These platforms use drag-and-drop features and cloud-based technologies to function independently while getting integrated with current IT infrastructures. Therefore, they’re an easy solution for startups looking to deliver new applications quickly, safely and economically.
How to Set up a Fusion Team for Your Business?
Organizations that are new to fusion teams should start small and focus on relevant problems to ensure early success and prepare the road for future fusion-driven projects.
When it comes to forming a fusion team, the best approach is to first establish your intended business goal and then assess the existing IT organization to determine current performance.
You’ll have to figure out where fusion teams might be useful. Management should recognize that different kinds of employees require different forms of management and plan accordingly.
Implementing a fusion team involves a shift in work culture and the selection of the right business tools:
Building a culture of responsibility is crucial. Fusion team members should equally share success and take equal responsibility for failure.
The tools that are used in the organization should be used and understood by non-technical team members at various phases of work processes. This typically necessitates a move from high-code, technical platforms and processes to low-code or no-code technological platforms.
Things to Know Before Building a Fusion Team
Maintain a small team and remember that a minimal viable team can be as small as three key team members. Rather than overloading the team, bring in outside resources that can offer time and skills on a flexible basis.
For many fusion teams, low-code platforms are an essential part of their tech stack. These platforms enable “citizen developers” (workers with low or no technical expertise) to build a wide range of sophisticated applications, including automation, digital functions, workflows and processes, and a wide range of other digital solutions without requiring the need for IT assistance.
Fusion teams provide operational autonomy and enable self-organization and direction. Multidisciplinary fusion teams can provide you with the opportunity to create, operate, and manage digital strategies independently. It aids in process automation, and operational waste reduction, and increases the efficiency of the processes. Also, people appreciate taking responsibility for their work and seeing how it affects the organization.
Conclusion
The steep growth of fusion teams is assisting companies in avoiding some of the most significant roadblocks to timely digital delivery, such as a scarcity of digital expertise, and overloaded IT services.
Launching a new project or initiative led by a fusion team can assist a company in exploring the benefits of the new concept in speeding up the digital transformation process and is probably the right way to go in this fast-paced digital world.
FAQs

Trust is considered an important factor in any relationship. Building good relations and trust with clients and employees is a key to success and an effective team. As an effective manager, you are always more concerned about the productivity of the employees, But if your actions show a lack of trust among the employees then they won’t be productive and supportive of your decisions. Faith, belief and trust are important factors for which every business organization should stand for. Here we present the important ways by which you can build trust among your employees:
Investing in the employees is as important as investing in organizational growth. Investing and Nurturing them builds a sense of trust and safety. You can spend a part of your time connecting with them during their training period by better understanding their professional background, strengths, and weaknesses. This helps in the development and personal growth of the employee with the organization. If you start doing so, then this will not only make them develop and grow but it will also make them feel that you trust them. This is because people only invest in areas they trust and believe the most.
Have Strong Moral Principles
A business runs on the business plans, rules and policies of the organization. Similarly, a better human attachment can only run with strong moral principles. If you value people and have strong moral principles, then employees will have faith in the organization. This faith will generate trust among them. But if you don’t value moral principles then there will be more doubts and uncertainties. They will skip a lot of things and may start hiding the things if there lack of moral standards within you and your organization. This can be done either due to fear or doubts, but the outcome doesn’t go well. If the employees start hiding things from the employer, then there will be more threats to the organization.
Be accountable for yourself too
Every mistake or error in business has the same results no matter who does it. As the most senior in the organization, there will be no one to discover your mistakes or errors. But it may be carefully observed by the employees. They won’t tell you about it but it will become a buzz inside the organization. Even they may also follow the same track.
Therefore, whatever rules or system is created, it should be followed by everyone. You also should be accountable for yourself, sometimes you need to accept your mistakes, without any hesitation. The others acknowledge you following the rules and even accepting your own mistakes creates a good working environment. This will make them trust you because you follow a system and don’t break it even when the matters come on you. But if you as the key person don’t be accountable for your own mistakes then employees will lose their trust in the organization this will create chaos in the organization. So it is important to be responsible, accountable for the duties to maintain a work-life balance in the organization.
Understand the goals of employees and be supportive
As the owner of the business, you know how much business goals matter. But on an individual level, you can realize how much your personal goals matter too. Everyone is positively driven, valuing each other work because all are working for their objectives. These goals and objectives matter a lot for everyone and got equal value.
So if the employee goals are well understood by the employer, they help them achieve them. In this way, both the business and employees’ objectives get considered. So, when the employee’s objectives are considered by the employer, then the employees become confident of their goals and work with full dedication. This generates trust among them and they start working more efficiently.
Value their pros and cons in decision making
Employees in decision making
Involving employees in decision-making is very important. Though the decision is finalized by the manager, the collective decisions are more often valuable. So during the company meeting, you as an employer should make employees feel valuable and useful.
You should value their pros and cons in decision making. It may be effective or ineffective, but if you come to value it, it will make them feel important too. This will also show that you trust them and value their decision. So have a small discussion round or clarification on whatever the ideas/points are given by them. This creates a positive environment in the organization.
Accept their Failures
Failures are a part of life and it happens to everyone. Whether it’s a small worker or a big CEO, everybody has gone through a rough patch. There may be times when our employees fail and feel discouraged, But instead of firing them accept their failures and encourage them for their efforts. But if the organization is not supportive of their failure, they will fear failure and won’t try new things.
Their innovation and ideas will stop because of the fear of failure. Failures make people learn and get experience from their mistakes. Encouraging them to try out new things and making sure it’s ok to fail but this shouldn’t make them stop trying out new things creates a safe environment for people to work.
Give them important and valuable tasks
Give them important and valuable tasks
Sometimes, it is important to assign important tasks or roles to employees which are above their job roles. This will also make them feel valued and they will witness themselves as trusted in the eyes of their manager. And not only that, but it also prepares them to perform a higher standard job than their current position. This gives them experience as well as practice for their upcoming promotion.
Conclusion
Building trust among the employees is the main key to success in the business world. For an organization to succeed employees play a huge part. Good work and a supportive environment help employees to experiment on their work and achieve great results. Building trust helps in an effective team and work environment.
The secret of a successful company is the team that works effortlessly for it. And the secret to having teams that are dedicated to your company is how happy they are at the workplace.

“Use it every day! Games are up in seconds, and it fires up my brain for the rest of the day. Great for connecting with coworkers and taking a break from the regular workflow.” – Igor Lenterman. Intern, Science
Trivia is one of the best engagement building apps there is, especially for teams who work far away from each other.
