Jainee:
So many women inspire
me, for their hard work, grit, and strength. I admire my mom and mom in law for
selflessly raising us, my sister for the work that she is doing for her startup,
my cook for her strength and stamina to work under non-favorable circumstances,
so many women and their life has inspired me.

What would you say are the main challenges facing women at present in
India?
Jainee:
India is going
through an interesting unrest, I know unrest is a heavy word, but unlike
earlier women are taking charge, they have the option opportunity and the fire
to achieve a goal. The main challenges in this are- there is still a very small
population of men who are joining this cause and for me that is the main
challenge. Both the genders have to be invested equally to create a balance.
