Sudha, The Home Maker

Sudha has a Post Graduate degree in Commerce. She is a class topper also. So, are you thinking that Sudha is working for a MNC or NBFC?

Wrong!

Sudha is a house wife looking after her two children for the past 10 years. After marriage, Sudha had to shift to a city as her husband is working there. Sudha's husband is working in a clothing factory as accountant. Since Sudha hailed from a village, she is not at all comfortable with city's working culture. That is the main reason not opting for a job in the City initially. She is an efficient home maker and she is very fond of cooking!

Slowly, Sudha's family start feeling the pinch of money shortage. Once their children start growing, expenses increased. Sudha decided to go for a job but now added to her 'City' fear, her lack of experience in Commerce field really made her uncomfortable.

Oneday, one of her relative visited her home. Sudha made a delicious food for her relative. The relative praised her a lot for her food. Sudha told her relative about her necessity to look for a job.

Her relative waited for a minute and asked Sudha: "Are you very specific about the type of job?"

"Not at all, I want to add some money to the pool to cater sudden expenses", replied Sudha.

"You are a very good cook; One of my friend, who is working for a heavy metal company, is not at all happy with his company's canteen food. He is in a position to recommend for a new caterer. Are you interested in supplying food for the company?", asked the relative.

After a minute of silence, Sudha replied confidently "Yes, I can. After all, I am having 10 years of experience in cooking!"

Her relative laughed and said : "Jokes apart, What you had said is 100% correct. Whatever be the field, if you have more experience, your confidence will zoom up"

Sudha started supplying food for the metal company at nominal rate. Initially she started serving only afternoon meals. On receiving great appreciations from employees, the company asked her to supply for morning and evening times.

Now, she is a confident entrepreneur employing some 25 persons and catering to 50 customers. She is the primary bread winner for her family! Her husband had quit his low paying job and he is now taking care of marketing and accounting for their venture!

Identify your skills, whatever it may be! You can be an entrepreneur!
