Entrepreneurship: A journey in self discovery | Ameera Shah | TEDxJanpath

Ameera Shah spoke passionately on a topic that is currently a national interest; women entrepreneurs. She reflects on her own journey and the challenges that she faced while building a business of scale and sustainability across the globe.

Ms. Shah urges women to build their confidence and asserts that self-esteem is the only real asset in life.

She has evolved Metropolis from its single pathology laboratory status to a fully integrated multinational chain of 125 labs and 800 collection centers across the globe. Under her leadership, Metropolis has been the first to create a sustainable business model for pathology, traverse in to emerging markets & implement global standards of quality in all its processes & systems.

“Entrepreneurship in India is anyway hard, " she says—for women, it becomes that much tougher because people rarely back them with money, or give them the first contract. Women are never encouraged to take risks. “If there is a guy, they say go for it, for a girl, they say, how will you manage, you have a family, a kid, you want to do this also, it’s too much. Give up something—give up work."

These words are nothing but Truth itself what she said , it's tough for a women in India. All her trust and efforts will get discriminated and criticized, made fun of, forced, delayed.

She won't even have chances for a discussion, voice out her ideas on what she wishes doing.

Few get respected, acknowledged, and succeed. Wishes Ms. Ameera.
