Women have always been placed in situations where they must play multiple roles, such as daughter, wife, or mother. So it’s a surprise that many people today proudly wear the title of “entrepreneur.” It is easy to say that if a woman strives hard enough, she will undoubtedly succeed in creating her kingdom.

Today, we are in a conversation with such a woman who has found enormous professional success and owned many hats in her feather. The dauntless and the gallant Mrs Anupama Biswal, Director- Gayatridevi Groups.

Q1. Could you please brief us on what has attracted you to doing business the first-hand to become a leading female entrepreneur in the state?
Ans – I feel women as the centrifugal force of society. The universe revolves around us. The way we deal with the environment will behave and grow accordingly. So, being with this positive mindset, I always wanted to contribute to society in any form. In the first few years, I had prioritized my family and supported them to enrich their career.
But the urge to do business and excel was always there in my mind. Then I joined the business in full swing in 2019. Till then, we were successful in our Electrical construction wing, M/S Gayatri Agency. In 2019, an intention to provide Premium Outdoor living Solutions took shape in the form of Gayatri Devi Furniture Studio in my leadership with a brand like LOOM CRAFTS, a pioneer in luxury outdoor furniture and Pre-fab modular Cottage. Simultaneously we have also ventured into Food & beverage with Gayatridevi food & Beverages with the brand Big Cup Café. Then I, I never looked back.

2. What was the most challenging thing & time you had to encounter to set up a consumer brand Looms Craft?
Ans- We have started with LOOM CRAFTS with a bang. The response was tremendous, and getting calls and leads from all HNI circles as well as from leading institutions. But the break out of the pandemic of Covid-19 has made us stagnant. Market movement and operations were really tough during that period. Still, despite our hardship and having an excellent team, we could manage to sustain and looked ahead to prosper post-pandemic again.

3. You have done a stellar job in successfully making the 1st women Business Mela; what’s your vision for this?
Ans- IWEC Women’s Business Mela was a dream come true for us. Being at the core philosophies of helping each other, nurturing and excelling in business at IWEC, we were seasoned and committed to doing some big things in life. Organizing this event was a big challenge for us initially, but the vision got clear when we moved ahead. Finally, the success and response of the people all around us were overwhelming, and we feel we achieved what we aimed at. The new challenge will be to make it happen again and again in years to come on a larger scale.

4. Being a woman, do you think you have a distinct advantage of being connected to the core managerial skills of doing businesses in the likes of dutiful, passion, tolerance, patience, profit-oriented etc.?

Ans- Yes, you rightly noticed. Being a woman is advantageous. A woman is always particular; women are team persons, disciplined and overall may be the best manager every organization must-have.
I am passionate, aggressive, and tolerant of adverse situations, which makes me consistent in excelling in my business. In fact, to your knowledge, more than 50% of my team are women, and I love working with them.

Q5. What made you add a feather in your hat is Big Cup Cafe, which is leading in the B Town?
Ans- Big Cup café lies in the softest corner of my heart as my next child after my daughter. We have taken all extra care and efforts to set its ambience, quality of food, introducing new variants and the most crucial thing of providing customers with star quality service and satisfaction towards value for their money & time. I feel that’s the only reason for which it is very much leading in the B Town.

10 Years in positive journalism, and counting…..

One decade of carrying positive journalism is no less than providing a service to the nation. As a result, the fear of losing the respect of the readers is what prevents us not to be stopping to any publications related to those inspiring personalities on a regulative basis in order to attain inspiration. We believe that we have espoused the cause of positive and developmental journalism with utmost honesty and rigor. Unfazed by the competing media platforms who are obsessed with the TRP game and have no qualms in compromising time honored media ethics, we can safely claim we are out of this mad race for recognition. Rather, we chose the path less trodden. And, that has positioned The Interview Times where you find it today. We chose to play up the stories of those personalities who climbed the success ladder by the dint of their grit and gumption. These were the stories which escaped the wide lens of the big media. That is the narrative which you and I find relatable. And, we count on your support and patronage to keep this tradition running.

Once again, I would like to state that the entire family of Interview Times Media Network is firmly committed to positive journalism in pursuit of making a better society in the days to come. Journalism is a passion for us, not a profession. Let’s celebrate.

In this traumatic pandemic, a thank you note is incomplete without saluting the departed as well as those who lost their loved ones while pursuing journalism selflessly. Hope better days are in the offing with light and rays.

It is therefore asked all of your’s noble donations to sustain the importance of pursuing positive journalism round the year.Lets value it sacredly.
