Her journey began with a simple idea: create a listing of contact details of home-based businesswomen across the country.

"In business, information is key. A businesswoman in Mumbai can now build a compatible partnership with a producer in Raipur with the help of our website. With our directory, we have opened up a large market for small and medium-sized women entrepreneurs," she says.

Today, Sitagita.com has managed to connect women entrepreneurs across the world, with an average of 30,000 page hits a day.
