ENTREPRENEUR, EDUCATIONIST, MEDIA & ENTERTAINMENT EXPERT, AND PROLIFIC SOCIAL SCIENTIST. SSARITA SIINGH HAS MADE HER MARK IN WHATEVER SHE DOES – FROM TEACHING TO FILM-MAKING, FROM BEING AN EDUCATIONIST TO BEING A COUNSELLOR. HER DILIGENCE AND DETERMINATION IS WHAT SETS HER APART.

PURSUIT OF PERSEVERANCE


Ssarita Siingh started her journey as a teacher then went on to work in the publishing industry before making her mark in the media and entertainment industry. She is also an entrepreneur, educationist, and social scientist. She has achieved what she has through her own hard work and drive to succeed. Hailing from a conservative Rajput family, she notes, “Women in my family and around were not allowed to go out, or work, or make their mark in any profession. But I was quite rebellious. So at around 16, after a lot of convincing my family, I started working as a teacher’s assistant.” At the age of 21, when she couldn’t convince her family on not getting her married off, “I left home with a suitcase and Rs 2000 in hand and went to Mumbai. With no idea where to go, late in the night, I spent the whole night sitting at Dadar bus stop, all scared, but determined to move ahead. That was the first milestone of my life,” she recalls.
