The startup culture in India is currently experiencing a vibrant and dynamic phase. Dressed in their best suits and ties, entrepreneurs are enthusiastically making pitches, raising funds, and pursuing their dreams. However, amidst this excitement, it is crucial to acknowledge that failures are inevitable and that many individuals may encounter setbacks as well.

In the world of start-ups, it is easy to be captivated by stories of overnight success. However, what many people fail to recognize is that these tales represent only a minuscule fraction of the countless entrepreneurial endeavours. Many entrepreneurs face numerous failures, setbacks, and challenges before achieving any form of success.

While there are countless resources available to help start-ups with business plans, financial projections, and marketing strategies, we hardly have anyone offering emotional support, which is more important than everything else.

Failure is not the end; rather, it is an opportunity to learn and grow. It is important to strike a balance between chasing dreams and understanding that failure is an inherent part of the entrepreneurial journey. In this issue, our cover girl and actress Adah Sharma while sharing her journey sheds light on the significance of embracing failure as it ultimately contributes to the overall growth. Having seen several highs and lows during her career, she shares how she’s enjoyed every bit of her journey and wouldn’t change a thing. This issue highlights the inspiring stories of plus-size influencers who have endured a lifetime of body shaming but have transformed their weaknesses into sources of strength. Through their platforms, they boldly challenge societal norms and champion inclusivity. Additionally, this issue offers a diverse range of stories encompassing success, failure, curated travel experiences, wellness insights, and captivating lifestyle content.

Do enjoy this issue and don’t forget, to chase dreams but with realism!
