'Beti Bachao Beti Padao Beti ko Svavlambi Banao' - 'Save Your Daughter by helping Your Daughter Study and Help her Become Self Dependent'!

 


This week Madam Draupadi Murmu was declared the 15th President of India, making history that makes her the first citizen of India. She is a woman of many firsts and has showcased grit and perseverance throughout her life. She is the first Tribal President and the Second Woman President of Independent India. I believe she will be an Inspiration for Girls & Women of India who wish to make a mark in their lives and help Increase Female Workforce Participation in India. Before I share my views on Female Workforce Participation, wish to share with all that in my Family the Female Workforce Participation is complete. My wife who is a graduate of Commercial Arts discovered her passion for Teaching Pre-Primary Students. Post Marriage, she did her B.Ed and has been a Teacher now for over a decade. My Elder Daughter is a Lawyer, working for a Multinational as a Digital Nomad. And my younger daughter is Cloud Kitchen Entrepreneur and now doing her graduating with a specialization in Entrepreneurship.

In our Startup Jeevitam, We are also doing a lot of work to Increase Female Workforce Participation and it gives us the opportunity to interact with various stakeholders and get their perspectives. In our view, courtesy ongoing crisis two big Innovations have taken place: First, Work From Home/Anywhere is now an acceptable Work option. We always believe in giving equal choice to Work Seekers. Women now have a choice, Go Out For Work or Let Work Come to their Home. Second, GiG Work opportunities give them the required flexibility to choose the Trade they want to work, the time they wish to spend, etc (as per the recent Niti Aayog Report). We believe these two Innovations will be game changers and help Increase Female Workforce Participation in India. Besides, I personally have two ideas that can probably help increase Female Workforce Participation: First, All successful Females who are working help 10 Girls/Women find Livelihood & Mentor them to earn their livelihood. Second, All Fathers like me, help their daughters become Self Dependent. I believe this is the best gift they can give to their daughters for their confidence & success in Life.

We believe, When we are looking at Solving Big Social Problems like Increasing Female Workforce Participation, we All need to do our bit. In our Startup Jeevitam, we have Female Workforce Participation of over 60%. Also, we believe that we have to work together to Solve Big Social Problems. Accordingly, Jeevitam along with CSC Gramin Naukri (A Government of India Enterprise) launched Audacious Project to Help Over One Million (10 Lakhs) Girls/Women Find Sustainable Livelihood. In this Project, we are working & propose to Collaborate with as many Central & State Government Bodies, Academic Institutions, Skill Development universes, CSRs & Philanthropy Institutions, NGOs and Corporates & Startups with a focus on Diversity & Inclusion. We believe this project will turn out to be a Movement and accordingly propose to launch the National Livelihood Helpline Number for Women, Do Hybrid Work Fairs across Districts, Do College Placement Drives, Webinars & Roadshows to create awareness & create a Community with the help of all stakeholders. We are Inviting Everyone to be part of this Movement to Increase Female Workforce Participation. *Ab Har Nari Banegi Aatmanirbhar*

Happy Sunday!! Keep Moving & Smiling!!🏃🏽😊

Be Authentic, Do Uncomfortable Work And Surrender To The Outcome!

This week I saw this Ted Talk about the above. I could relate to it so much to my Journey. Authenticity for me is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It’s all about the choice to show up and be real, to be and to let out true selves be seen. It is also about being true to who we really are. Authenticity is more than speaking; Authenticity is also about doing. Every decision we make says something about who we are. Authenticity starts in the heart. If we are our authentic selves, we will have no competition. I believe Hard times arouse an instinctive desire in us to Be Authentic. As a part of our uneasiness towards change, we tend to resist anything that feels uncomfortable, scary, different and new. We tend to play small even, to resist being seen and evaluated. To resist the unknown. Being Uncomfortable brings engagement and change. Doing Uncomfortable work means we’re doing something that others were unlikely to do because they’re hiding out in their comfort zo...

Let Our Strengths Become Our Unstoppable Advantage

Image
Activate to view larger image, Summary: True competitive advantage comes not from trying to be perfect at everything, but from doubling down on our unique strengths until they become unstoppable advantage. When we focus on maximizing what we're naturally great at rather than fixing every weakness, we create unfair advantages that can overcome any competition. Key Takeaways: - Doubling down on our core strength can be more powerful than trying to be well-rounded in all areas - Confidence in leveraging our unique abilities often matters more than having multiple average skills - Success comes from maximizing strengths rather than minimizing weaknesses This week, I came across a fascinating article about Sania Mirza's "unfair advantage" that resonated deeply with my own experiences in business and life. The article described how Sania, despite criticism about her fitness and agility compared to other players, dominated matches through one devastating strength - her powe...
