In 2011, Jyotika Bhatia and her co-founder Vaishali Shah realized that with a little help, impoverished women could upskill, increase their earning power, and become an incredible force for good in their communities. Years later, their non-profit organization, Srujna, provides training, income opportunities, and coaching to women across India, acting as a bridge between them and the external market so that they can earn independent income. Join Jyotika as she describes how Srujna was built, and why investing in women is good for us all.
