Driving Patriarchy Off the Road | Vandana Suri | Episode 11 | THE SHE.E.O EFFECT

Imagine walking away from a 25-year investment banking career, where you dealt in millions, to proudly call yourself a "cabbie".In Episode 11 of THE SHE.E.O EFFECT , Vijayashree Parameswaran sits down with Vandana Suri, the fierce and unapologetic Founder of TaxShe . Triggered by the horrific Nirbhaya case and an Uber incident in Delhi, Vandana decided to channel her anger into action, literally turning the #metoomovement into a revolutionary business model.In this episode, Vandana breaks down how she built an army of female drivers, primarily single mothers looking for financial independence and an escape from domestic abuse. Together, they have completed over 1.2 million abuse-free drives for children. She also reveals how a devastating pandemic pivot forced her to launch TaxShe Break Free, an initiative that has now trained over 3,500 women to drive their own cars.From her hilarious metric for measuring psychological safety in her cabs, to why we need to start teaching our daughters how to run businesses, Vandana is proving that safety isn't just a policy, it’s a revolution."The next generation should be laughing at us... it should be the history book gone and buried."#thesheeoeffect #womensafety #socialentrepreneurship #taxshe #femalefounders #feminism #womenleaders #careerpivot
