Entrepreneurship
A Quest to Empower Others Transform Their Passions into Professions, A Founder’s Story with Smita Das Jain

My entrepreneurial journey began when I reached a tipping point in my corporate career. Despite being an alumna from one of the premier B-schools in India, and working in leadership roles with Fortune 500 companies in my 14-year tenure in the corporate world, I was not happy with the impact I was making on lives and the world around me. There was a sense of restlessness that comes when your work is not aligned with your interests and passions. You may be good at what you do, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you will be happy. When the pandemic struck, I realized that there are many others in the high-pressure corporate world in the same boat as me who were going through the motions of life without being enthused about what they did for a living. There was disillusionment, disengaged, and complaints all around me, and this was before the Great Resignation wave started. I decided that rather than join the chorus, it was time for me to do something about it. So in March 2021, I resigned from my corporate job and moved in the direction of Life and Executive Coaching. Three months later, I founded Empower Yourself- a set of customized Personal Clarity and Performance Enhancements coaching interventions to enable you to take control of your life.
