The elevation from a vegetable vendor to self-made millionaire was amazing

It wasn’t long before she switched her career to selling second-hand clothes. Soon after this, she dived into the field of teaching. In the meantime, she started broadening her network to get introduced to more commercial ideas. She used to teach the local destitute girls and this was when she ventured into gold trading. Then in the year 1998, she established the Heera Group of companies.
An epitome of motivation
With an aspiration to reform the political system of our country, she founded the All India Mahila Empowerment Party. It worked to look after the needs of women and make them financially free.
