“We Mean Business” is an anthology of graphic narratives of twenty inspiring businesswomen across India. 

The book features some witty, courageous, risk-taking and entrepreneurial women who have established themselves in the society as leaders, employment providers and inspirational figures. 

The stories prove to be a testimony to the abilities, strength and determination of women. Every woman’s story in this book is worth reading. We get to meet steel traders, factory owners, potters, YouTubers, weavers and several others as their stories unfold. 

It gives us immense joy reading about women entrepreneurs, who took a leap forward and became an important part of the startup ecosystem. These are not just twenty stories of courage and hope, but a revolution bringing women’s growth to the fore. 

“We Mean Business” is absolutely an inspiring read for aspiring and successful entrepreneurs alike. It is a much-needed book for the times like today. It tells the world,  the stories of  women who decided to extend the horizon of their ambitions and achieved the same.

Each life story here,  is depicted in a unique and discerning visual style, making this collection a powerful document. Many women within these stories were married and became the sole earners of their families, possible only due to the strong support system. 

Being a woman myself, I read every woman’s journey very carefully. I can say this book is much more than being merely inspirational. The stories of these successful women  are wonderful, directly inspiring and very heart-warming. 

The book teaches us that women are no more the back-seat comforters. They are taking the driver’s seat and steering the wheel as well! We feel proud reading about each one of the twenty women featured in this book. 

Do read this book and learn about the women who achieved something great in life and are still in the pursuit of more, without tiring!
