Shradha Sharma — Founder

People are just as extraordinary as they believe themselves to be. On this premise, I founded YourStory in 2008, with the aim of championing the untold stories of entrepreneurship in India. The subsequent years have been a roller-coaster of highs and lows, success, and failures. But with every new entrepreneur we profile and every new story we tell, I feel blessed to be able to contribute and help shape this exciting new era in India. I strongly believe that stories have the power to transform, connect and inspire people all over the world. But I am more curious about the stories people live than the ones that they tell. I am not interested in what the world considers beautiful. Tell me of your scars, mistakes, and failures. These are stories with character and it is these that I want to hear. Making these stories matter is what I try to do at YourStory, every single day. In these years we have incubated the narratives of over 200000 entrepreneurs. My prior mainstream media experience at CNBC and Times of India gives me an understanding of how media businesses run, what works and what doesn't. I rely on those learnings to everyday improve and channelize myself to be a better professional and create a business that makes a difference (in the most real and basic way).
