I owned beauty business (Meera Beauty Parlor) then moved into the garment business, followed by manufacturing cardboard boxes for exporters and then finally managing my own advertising business. That was the point when I diverted my whole focus & attention to my passion for founding a non-profit and working for the community. Leadership is not just leading some people and organizations. A leader should have the commitment, passion, empathy, decision-making abilities, and motivating people in a certain direction while planning daily life with due diligence.
