That's a phenomenal story and your inspiration must have been really strong for you to have completely veered away from the corporate world and worked in the direction of your passion, making that dream turn into a reality. It and impacting so many lives. Do you today, when you see so many social enterprises are taking shape, do you feel that in terms of livelihood opportunities, the landscape is much more expansive with so many initiatives being rolled out in rural and semi urban areas?
