Building the infrastructure for anyone, anywhere, to start and formalise a business.
The author
I spent fourteen years building companies. I learned the paperwork, the banks, the schemes nobody explains, and the particular loneliness of doing it without anyone to ask.
When that chapter ended, the only thing I wanted to build was the thing I never had — the instructions, in the open, for anyone. This is that work: the books, the bootcamps, and the registrations at the end of them.
The SHE Founders mission
21 million women in India are already running a business. Uncounted, unregistered, invisible to every system built to help them.
The day she registers, she stops being invisible. A registration number is what a bank, a buyer, and a government can finally see — everything else follows from it.
Three things change what's possible for her: a book, with the steps written down plainly, in the order they actually happen. An AI tool that answers the paperwork in her own language, at the hour she's free. And access to funding — the first ₹10,000 that's hers, and the schemes that were always there.
The full institutional programme detail — governance, cohorts and reporting — is published by the Lovefrom Foundation at lovefromfoundation.org.
