Being a founder looks glamorous on the outside,
pitching on TV, talking to investors, getting featured on platforms like IdeaBaaz on Zee5 and ZeeTV.
But the inside story?
That’s where the truth lives.
Walking Onto That Stage
I didn’t walk onto the IdeaBaaz stage as someone confident, polished, or fully ready.
I walked in as someone who believed deeply in a very small idea:
that a bra strap can be extraordinary.
OddEven wasn’t created with huge funding or a big team.
It started in my room, with beads, an idea, and the stubbornness to build something new for women.
Standing in front of the Titans,India’s version of a Shark Tank–style investor panel felt like standing in front of my own fears.
But also… my own growth.
The Reality of Being a Young Woman Founder
No one prepares you for:
the self-doubt,
the responsibility,
the pressure to prove your idea,
the fear of being misunderstood.
But no one prepares you for the magic either:
the moment people finally “get” your idea,
the messages from women saying “this solves my problem,”
the validation that your small innovation matters.
IdeaBaaz gave me that moment.
Not fame.
Not investor hype.
Just clarity — that OddEven deserved a platform.
What I’m Taking Forward
This journey taught me:
✔ Innovation doesn’t have to be loud
✔ Women-led ideas matter
✔ Small ideas can spark big change
✔ And sometimes, visibility is the validation you needed
OddEven isn’t just a product.
It’s a reminder that the everyday things women use deserve design, beauty, and respect.
Being on IdeaBaaz didn’t define me —
but it did remind me why I started.
And that reminder is everything.
