I recently attended the #TechSparks event in Bangalore with Drashti Gala and met incredible people there, and had the opportunity to meet Shradha Sharma mam, the founder and CEO of YourStory Media I have heard about her and her story from other people, but meeting her in person gave me a different perspective about her which is fascinating to me. 📌The Journey of Shradha Sharma: She was born in Patna, Bihar, and completed her education at St. Stephen’s College and MICA. She began her career at The Times of India and later at CNBC TV18. Shradha Mam started YourStory in 2008 because of her deep belief that India’s new-age entrepreneurs deserve to have their stories heard. She has scaled YourStory to become one of India’s leading digital media platforms, with inspirational storytelling at its core. She’s been the catalyst for India’s startups and entrepreneurs for over 16 years now. Today, YourStory is one of India’s leading platforms for entrepreneurial stories, with over 70,000 stories published. 📌Achievements: In 2023, when India took up the G20 Presidency, she spearheaded the inclusion agenda as the co-chair of India’s S20 initiative. Shradha Mam was featured on Fortune’s list of the ‘Best 40 under 40’ entrepreneurs in India for three years in a row. In 2018, she won the Forbes Power Trailblazers award and twice featured on LinkedIn’s list of powerful influencers, along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and actor Priyanka Chopra. 📌Takes and Lessons for #Entrepreneurs: ● Consistency and Resilience: Shradha Mam’s journey is not about achieving success, it’s about embracing consistency and sticking to the goal no matter what the short-term result is. We should also keep that in mind and keep doing the hard work, especially at the beginning of our journey. ● Storytelling is an art: She leverages the power of storytelling in her work and life to connect to people and ideas. As entrepreneurs, we should leverage storytelling to connect with people and it can help us create brands. ● Engagement with the community: Shradha Mam has a focused commitment to community engagement and it helped her immensely in networking. We should engage with the community and help them whenever needed, which in turn will help us network with people on a personal level. ● Never stop learning: She always updated herself with time and never stopped learning, which helped her to be in trend and helped scale her brand to a larger extent. We should also never stop learning, it can be our superpower and help scale our brand to the next level. Meeting Shradha Mam made me realize that she is a powerhouse and everything she has achieved is through passion and hard work. P.S. Shradha Sharma you are super cool! :) #YourStory #Tech #TechSpark2024
