people who thought that a mom can never have a career, people who doubted my abilities to bounce back after all my health issues and most important of all was of my own mind: that doubted my agility and questioned the very purpose of my life.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>I decided to start my venture Vidhai, a traditional wellness brand that aims to take you back to your &nbsp;childhood days, where we ate and led a healthy life under the watchful eyes of our grandparents.&nbsp;<\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\"><i>I think it all started when I was trying to step back as a responsible mom and review my own lifestyle, as I felt like my child deserved the best in everything and realized how I actually lost my connection with my roots.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I thought what if we could plug the gap between today\u2019s instant food lifestyle and forgotten values of tradition.<\/p>\n<p>This very idea sowed the seeds for Vidhai and I think this clarity in thinking is what made us what we are today and yet stay relevant to this generation.<\/p>\n<p>As they say, necessity is the mother of innovation and our every product is born out of some real-time problems. Like today, kids think all good things don\u2019t taste good and our prodigies like Almond Choco mix &amp; Moringa Curry Leaves powder, broke that mould, gratifying both the parents and kids, alike.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking at a perfect recipe as an entrepreneur, trust me there is never one and it\u2019s always dynamic, as everyone\u2019s journey is going to vary from others.<\/p>\n<p><i>Also I wanted to confess, it was never an easy ride, customer complaints, marketing mess ups, delivery roadblocks and self-doubts do pop up every time when you make a step ahead, but, today I have become matured enough to embrace these negativity around, which I think actually helps me to grow.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>One final lesson I would like to pass on to all the aspiring entrepreneurs out there is , it doesn\u2019t matter what you do, all it matters is how you do and that\u2019s going to define you as a person and create your identity.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-79f7871 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"79f7871\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-526a42e\" data-id=\"526a42e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7264e45 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7264e45\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\"><p><b>About Author:\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p>I am \u00a0Harini Durairaj from a middle class background , was passionate to do something and achieve big.
