Painful Journey Of Successful Women Entrepreneurs From Small Indian Villages


Committing suicide was the only option

Thulasi is a 30 year old married woman who has faced a lot of problems in her life before becoming a successful entrepreneur. She was married to a man who was apparently a drunkard, who used to beat her up for no reasons. He used to give her just 50 weekly to run the family which was never sufficient. His torture and violence gradually increased and Thulasi decided to kill herself. She tried to commit suicide by burning herself but was rescued by her neighbors. She borrowed money from lenders and the interest was very high that she could not afford.

With the help of the neighbors she decided to approach for loan and was successful with this. She received some money from a bank and with the skill training classes in her area she learnt how to make soap and detergent powders. She manufactures these products at home and sells it to the nearby areas which fetches her enough income to run the family at ease without even depending on her husband. She has gained a lot self confidence and courage from her entrepreneurial venture.
