Women are starting companies at an unprecedented rate, increasingly becoming family breadwinners, and accumulating massive wealth. They strive to inspire, motivate and entertain their team, investors and clients.

One fine day, you wake up and realise that the day has finally arrived! It is time to kiss your little ones goodbye and send them off to their first day at school. Here’s the story of a mother’s dream for her daughter, which went on to touch and transform the lives of several thousand children.

The two things that both motherhood and entrepreneurship have in common are: they ain’t 9-5 jobs; there will be late nights and early mornings. Now if you take the word entrepreneur and put it on a treadmill and hit the button, you would get Uma Rammohan.

Moms wear many hats. Donning the entrepreneurial hard hat means adding another responsibility to your ever-evolving tasks. Poorani Govindasamy, Director of Arise ‘n’ Shine Valasaravakkam chose to don this hat with a kid on her hip.

You might be a mom, if you’ve just locked the gate and realized you left your lunch upstairs. If you’ve reached office and found your phone on low battery, you could be a mom. If you already started planning on day one of the month to take that ONE casual leave, you’re definitely a working mom. Mother is the most complex role and when she is an entrepreneur, take a bow!
