Women on Top in India

Gauri Devidayal · Ladies who Lead Free Beginner India

This is a grounded India show where founder Gauri Devidayal interviews women who built real companies (ZestMoney in fintech, Heads Up For Tails in pet care, Juicy Chemistry in skincare) about the actual journey, not a highlight reel. You hear how each one turned her own read of a market into an edge, and how she handled fundraising and being underestimated along the way. Start with a guest whose category sits closest to yours and treat it as a starting point, not a template.

• Each episode is a concrete India story, not abstract advice, so you can see how a specific woman founder used her perspective to spot a gap others missed.
• Several guests built in categories where being close to the customer was the whole edge, which is founder-market fit in practice.
• The conversations are candid about fundraising friction and being underestimated, so you get the hard parts alongside the wins.
