ABOUT THE ENTREPRENEUR

Contributing to the industry for half a decade with her successful startup, the entrepreneur and inspiring woman leader, Sherina Kapany has evolved through her career and created a name for herself with a strong voice and leadership skills in managing operations from US, Europe and Australia for 14 years. The TedX speaker and contributor to numerous entrepreneurial websites across the internet, Sherina has been setting high standards and continually raising the bar for her entrepreneurial venture in India. Overcoming the hurdles of being a woman entrepreneur with corporate discrimination and biases across the globe, the Mumbai-based entrepreneur turned negative comments like 'She won't be able to bring much to the table" into her primary motivation for earning the success that she so greatly deserves.

She shares, "I believe, an entrepreneur's job is not just to sell business to companies, especially in the service industry, or to employ people, the crux of the job is to add to the experience and impact the customer is trying to create and also ensure constant progress and growth of the employees which is an integral part of my entrepreneurial journey."

COMPETITION, ESSENTIAL FOR GROWTH 

"The competition in the industry is only going to increase as I believe that my fellow Indians hold the same potential as me. With a limited number of companies offering digital PR services, I believe that anyone can be a stalwart in PR and Marketing because different people bring their own set of uniquely creative sensibilities. Competition is a motivator and we are looking forward to facing it" shared Sherina.

NEXT ON THE CARDS 

With plans to venture into international markets in the pipeline, they are also planning to invest more in technology to provide value-added services to their customers. While technology has been a key element of the services provided by the brand, Sherina believes that technology cannot take over PR solutions as she emphasises, "The role of technology has amplified over the years. However, the brand believes that technology can only aid the operational aspect but the PR industry requires a personal touch which technology cannot replace. Technologies like chatbots or automatically generated articles can only support PR services to a certain extent but cannot replace the human element required to connect with the clients and create value."

ADVICE FOR AND BY AN ENTREPRENEUR 

"I would like to advise entrepreneurs to have a holistic industry experience. Entrepreneurs can be made young, but the probability of them becoming successful is not very high. One should be equipped with the relevant experience to understand the psychology of people, the fact that failure is not bad and if you are focused on making money, you can never become a true entrepreneur because the purpose of being an entrepreneur is to change the lives of people" stressed Sherina.
