77 year old UrmilaJamnadas Asher wakes up at 5 am every morning. Her work day begins shortly after as she starts prepping for the day's orders at `Gujju Ben Na Nasta', her Mumbai based cloud kitchen. The nifty entrepreneur is the heart and soul of the lucrative business which was originally established to aid the family during a financial crisis. Gujju Ben Na Nasta has gradually expanded to include a host of dry food items on its menu and has also launched a small outlet. Business has been booming.

The Founder & CEO of beauty and lifestyle brand Nyakaa has been the toast of the entrepreneurial world ever since she became the first woman to lead a company into becoming a Unicorn. Another major laurel was added in her long list of accomplishments when she became the richest self made woman in India post Nykaa's bumper debut on the Indian stalk market. Needless to say, Nykaa's growth has been meteoric and it shows no signs of stopping any time soon.
