Cover Story: 2nd Innings - The Ecosystem's Getting Ready

"To love what you do and feel that it matters-how could anything be more fun?"
-Katharine Graham, the first female CEO of a Fortune 500 enterprise (The Washington Post Company)

It is indeed the fun of doing what you love to do and want to do, that often triggers the strong urge in some women to desire a second-time career, in pursuit of that elusive happiness, apart from reasons of gaining financial stability etc. These women are one of a kind-having learnt to manage their energies, both negative and positive during their breaks. These are women who at one point in their lives would have screamed from the rooftops: "God, give me a break" and then having quit and now wanting to get back, say: "Give me a life, a Second Life".

Flying Past Tough Times
The Franchising World, December 2011

IT'S often said that "Women hold up half the sky"-but this holds less weight in real. No matter what role she plays (mother, wife etc), a woman is always looked upon as the one who creates, nurtures and nourishes. Sprawling inequalities like, access to education, financial resources and opportunities in economic, sociocultural sphere etc often cloud her capabilities. Gender discrimination still prevails at all levels in the society and in business it hinders the rise of booming'sheconomy'.
