Episode 2: Twice the GRIT - A glimpse of female entrepreneurship

Being a woman entrepreneur isn't just a challenge—it’s like adding extra toppings to an already complex cake.

In this episode of the Storyflow podcast, we chat with Saketha P., one of the dynamic and the ONLY FEMALE Co-Founders of SmartPharma 360.

She started her entrepreneurial journey by starting a cafe on the campus of her MBA college, IMT Hyderabad (that is still running) and now leading a unique healthcare product.

Working with three co-founders, each bringing different skills to the table, sounds great in theory, but as Saketha reveals, it takes a lot of trust and collaboration to make it work.

She opens up about the tough days and how, despite the challenges, getting back on your feet the next day is the essence of entrepreneurship.

This conversation is all about her human side of entrepreneurship.

We hope you find inspiration, strength, and encouragement for your entrepreneurial journey from her story.

Tune in to this episode of Storyflow to hear her story.
