Building a Purpose Led Business Alongside Your 9–6 : Sharon Sondh

from Roots and Resilience · host Dr Tejal Doshi and Dr Nehal Doshi

Sharon works full-time in marketing and hadn’t planned on starting a business — until a simple conversation around the dinner table sparked an idea. Her brother Hari, who has cerebral palsy, had completed his degree but was finding it extremely difficult to secure employment. Rather than waiting for an opportunity, Sharon decided to take matters into her own hands and create a business to employ Hari. Sharon acted on her bold idea and founded Candlewala @thecandlewala, a candle brand built around nostalgic scents, with each order lovingly packed by Hari. What started as a simple idea has grown into a truly meaningful venture.In this episode, we talk about how Sharon turned her vision into reality, the practical steps she took to get started, and what it really looks like to build a purpose-led business whilst working full time. Enjoy! **************************************************Sign up to our newsletter: https://shorturl.at/FMRzI⁠Instagram:⁠ @RootsandresiliencepodcastEmail: [email protected]************************************************Subscribe and Comment:Loved this episode?
