Back in 2013-14, I started my entrepreneurial journey with one awesome woman Sapna and then Arsh and Ayubi have been my initial women employees, I always remember. "Women'' are often regarded as a weaker section of society. But, things do change and so are positions, circumstances, and contributions. Talking about modern women, they are stronger, super-leaders, motivators, game-changers, and decision-makers at major. Similar instances of strong women are present at SimbaQuartz, the amazing examples of women intrapreneurs.
Being a substantial support pillar to women, I always motivated other women to stand for themselves and do something really big in life. In our organization - SimbaQuartz -several women are employed and their contribution is always recognized.

Aashima Arora, employed with SimbaQuartz as Test Engineer is phenomenal at her job. Her performance in IT projects is commendable and she's one of the proud members of team SimbaQuartz. Her dedication towards SimbaQuartz can be judged from her decision to continue working even with an injured foot. Once, she met with an accident which left her foot badly injured.

Talking about the journey of Rajwinder, she's the only earning member of her family of four. Like any other mother, Rajwinder also has high dreams of her kids to be well-educated and well-settled in life. But, she's not that lucky to have the hand of a good companion in her life journey. Though she never let circumstances come her way and she stood by her visions. I am always along with such women and I also believe in supporting the education of kids of such families.
In 2016, she joined SimbaQuartz as a part-time employee, but after 1 month, she was a full-time worker in our organization. Since then she's working extremely hard and giving her best at her job. Today, her kids are studying in a reputed CBSE school and she's capable enough to provide every possible facility and support to her family.
Life goes on... indeed, it does; the story of Kajal - one of the oldest workers in SimbaQuartz perfectly fits this saying. At a very young age, Kajal's father passed away and her mother left her, leaving three kids including Kajal behind with her grandmother. Kajal has been working as a full-time helping staff with me since 2013 and I along with my family support her in every possible way including a good salary, building their home, supporting them with groceries, clothes, and health facilities.
Just like Kajal, Suman, Sonia, Pooja, and Dalbir Kaur are also our helping staff and contributing an important share to the success of SimbaQuartz.
Truly, women at SimbaQuartz represent almost all characteristics of a modern, successful, independent, proactive, and strong woman of society. Being a woman entrepreneur, I perfectly understand their hardships, situations they go through, obstacles that might appear in their way and that is the reason, I can better show empathy, reliability, and support to women at SimbaQuartz.
I always extend my support to women and so does our organization - SimbaQuartz.
