Prachi
Garg sheds light on success stories from round the corner.
In life there is so much inspiration around that
sometimes in quest for a big one we often ignore the nearby smaller ones. After
all not every inspiration needs to be the ultimate rags-to-riches story. Be it
the 20 women entrepreneurs of Super Women or the 19 couples of Super Couples,
Prachi Garg successfully brings the lesser-known success stories of entrepreneurial innovations and brilliance.
In the former, if some stories are about
pure business acumen at display, some talk about women who successfully merged
a social cause with their respective careers. Their ventures range from empowering
rural artisans, providing online counselling to depressed and more, supporting
victims of acid attacks, skin care solutions, making lingerie shopping easier
for women, image consulting, house hunting to making religious ceremonies
simpler.
The author not only tracks these women’s successes but also effectively dwells into the road before. Like a friend’s depression
inspiring Richa Singh to lend an ear to all those going through tough times
with her enterprise – Your D.O.S.T. Then there is Richa Kar who helped women by
making lingerie shopping an enjoyable experience with her online retail store –
Zivame, rather than a taxing or taboo one in many cases. While for some of
these women, support and motivation from people in their lives came logically,
some, obviously and expectedly, had to prove themselves to many raised eyebrows
and doubting mouths and minds.
Written in simple and familiar newspaper article
or feature style, with quotes from the subject, this 150-page book clearly
shows how a dream, irrespective of its size, is the only thing you need to kick-start
something fabulous in life. It is, however, when you reach a para claiming the
person concerned is from ‘one if the best institutes of the country’, your
curious mind automatically wants to know which one, something the second book also
does to you sometimes.
Prachi’s Super Couples, gives us sneak-peek into
the lives of people coming from different backgrounds to defy the age-old yet
questionable wisdom of ‘don’t mix personal life and work’. These couple have
not only shown to have brought out the best in each other, but it seems that
the struggles that went through together en route to establishing their
businesses. Their enterprises providing services in ecommerce, innovative
gifts, eco-friendly products, health care solutions, social responsibility ventures,
event management, digital solutions and many others, are also stories in love, sticking
by each other’s side through thick and thin, mutual and individual goals,
hardships and achievements.
Be it Meenakshi and Jey literally painting the
towns red (travelling across the country to paint their message of love and
peace), Smriti-Sameer selling flowers across the country or Mudhurita and
Yuvraj doing their bit to help animals, these couples chose to go the
unconventional way and become more of soul mates than they could have been otherwise.
