So what so special about this Start -up? —————————— They make recycled handmade paper. So what’s novel about it? Well, many reasons why their paper is unique. First, they don’t cut trees to make paper; they make it from cotton rags/waste cotton and paper waste. Secondly, they mix seeds in the paper so that there is life even after it loses its strength. No wonder their tagline, “Why throw when we can grow” echoes in all their products. Pinky says, “Paper-making process uses energy, water and chemicals and produces waste. However, handmade paper made from recycled materials consumes at least 50 per cent less energy and up to 75 per cent less water than virgin fibre. It also produces up to 90 per cent less wastewater and reduces air pollution by 70 per cent.” And while they do all of this, they empower women from rural India. More than 85 per cent of the artists she works with are women. “When you buy things from Surprise Someone, you actually make someone smile,” says Pinky. She is targeting to train 10,000 girls and make them self-employed by next 3 years.

When Vaidehi Vaidya set foot into the world of sports as a football player – and later coach, she was keen to connect with like-minded women and set out in search of an organization that would enable her to do so. However, she was disappointed to find that were was no group specifically catering to women working in the sports industry. Determined to support women in sports across all levels, Vaidehi founded Women In Sport India (WISI) in 2020. This decision stemmed from her resolve to address a significant gap in the market – an absence of an empowering community for women to exchange knowledge about building a career in sports, both on and off the field. Women in Sport India is building a global digital community for women in sports and fitness called WISI Tribe. WISI believes in the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals of good health, well-being, and gender equality. It strives to achieve equal opportunities and representation for women by developing resources, sharing knowledge, and providing a network to make the women’s sports ecosystem simpler. Vaidehi’s passion for sports runs strong, and she has spent many years advising in the field. As a consultant with the Asian Football Development Project, she spearheaded key youth and women’s football development projects across Asia. During her research on Women’s Football in India with the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), she began to think about revolutionizing sports development in the country consciously. As a sportswoman herself, her goal with WISI is to create a strong community that supports and empowers women in sports. Vaidehi has an MBA in Football Industries from the University of Liverpool. She is also a TEDx speaker and the first official FIFA Fan Forum member. She is passionate about connecting with people who have a flair for entrepreneurship, especially women who have opted for unconventional paths.
