BANGALORE: Mothers in India have emerged as a force to reckon with in every possible field and are forging ahead with confidence. Women have entered sectors known to be male dominated and written their own success stories. The trend is visible in the business sectors too, where not only have they climbed up the corporate ladder but have struck out on their own as entrepreneurs.

Most of these women entrepreneurs have gained the requisite experience in a corporate environment and feel the need to establish their own small or medium enterprise. Some of these women are mothers who wish to be their own boss, and manage their lives on their own terms as compiled by Economic Times.

Being Launched in 2012 Suchi Mukherjee's limeroad.com claims to be India's first social commerce platform, which has been designed using a fashion magazine style layout. With over 30,000 looks created by in-house stylist and scrapbooks created by users the website is growing 50 percent month on month. LimeRoad was the inception of an idea that came to the former investment banker after the birth of her second child when she was on maternity leave.

According to her she had a really tough time leaving behind her kids in London with her husband, and travelling every month to India for 15 days. But she knows yet that there are many 'mom things' she obviously misses in trying to be a successful entrepreneur, being a parent, on the other hand, gives her an enormous corpus of learning on dealing with people.
