We bring you the journeys of some of these dynamic Indian women in the franchise ecosystem, who have set benchmarks in their chosen fields. Each of them is scripting her own success story in today's world. The franchise industry provides many opportunities to women seeking business ownership on a full or part-time basis in multiple sectors, including education, fitness, home services, business services, food and beverage, and many more. There is literally a franchise for every interest or skill set. Women are now successfully negotiating family and work, taking risks and nurturing sustainable enterprises. We present some of the successful women, who have carved a niche for themselves. From a few completely new faces like Aastha Almast of The New Shop & Adwaita Nayar of Nykaa Fashion to the established names like Vandana Luthra of VLCC & Nina Lekhi from Baggit, women are holding reigns everywhere.
