Udyamita Shakti - Women Who Build

Udyamita Shakti – Women Who Build A practical guide for women turning ideas into enterprises. Every woman carries a spark — the quiet will to create, lead, and stand tall. But somewhere between responsibilities, expectations and fear, that spark often waits for permission. This book is written for the moment you decide you're done waiting. Udyamita Shakti – Women Who Build is more than a guide to starting a business. It's a movement — a bridge between potential and proof. Written by Vandana Singh, Founder & CEO of Curtel Innovations Pvt. Ltd., it brings together practical lessons, lived stories, and step-by-step frameworks designed specifically for women stepping into entrepreneurship for the first time. Through 19 insight-rich chapters, the book takes you from the first flicker of an idea to the daily discipline of building something real. Each section simplifies the tough parts — from finance and branding to digital presence, hiring and emotional balance — without losing warmth or authenticity. You'll learn how to: ? Discover and refine your business idea ? Build a simple, workable plan without panic ? Understand money — loans, grants, and funding options ? Create your brand story and connect with your audience ? Market smartly without millions ? Lead teams with trust, not fear ? Handle failure, fear, and restart stronger ? Build sisterhood and mentorship that lasts Every chapter ends with practical takeaways and real stories of women who began small — from kitchens, classrooms and side rooms — and grew into entrepreneurs, leaders, and changemakers. Why this book matters: Most entrepreneurship books are written from the top down — by those who've already "made it." Udyamita Shakti is written from the ground up — for those who are making it happen right now. This book believes that women's economic participation isn't charity or empowerment — it's strategy. When women earn, families stabilise. Communities grow. The nation moves forward. So whether you're: A homemaker dreaming of turning your skill into income, A young graduate testing your first business idea, A professional looking to start something on your own terms, Or a woman simply searching for the courage to begin — this book will walk with you, step by step. Inside the pages, you'll find: Clear guidance, not jargon. Encouragement that's real, not forced. Stories that sound like yours. And a reminder that you already have what it takes. "When a woman decides to begin, she doesn't just change her life — she quietly rewrites the rules for everyone watching." — Vandana Singh
