TUS Profiles
Seema Prakash

B eing a fiercely independent and self-sufficient person, getting dusty was never a

choice. Post graduate in hospitality management; her options were myriad, possibilities
limited. Biding time, popped a job offer for the role of a teacher, hoorah.
Teaching came secondary, learning happened incessantly-compassion and patience-
life’s lessons learnt by a 20 something, not over her reckless teen years. Until she took
on another important role in life, that of a mother. A major turning point in life and she made a conscious
decision to be a stay at home mother. Checking for school work, packing lunch boxes, planning meals,
not to forget the infinite trips as a glorified driver.life is good!!

Neelam Raimalani

W hy can’t a lady become an entrepreneur? Well this question did stay on while growing

up. Being a woman, a lot is expected out of you and my life was no different. Hailing
from a rooted yet contemporary family background, I was told to be myself and I
became myself. Knowing business is one thing and running it is another trait all
together. Building relationship is the core and especially in my life of work where on
a day-to-day basis interaction with esteem clients is a norm. Positioning MK JEWELS as one of the most
trusted brands in a competitive market is a skill that I learnt over time. The next time whenever this
question pops up in your mind “why a woman can’t be an entrepreneur” just say, why not?
