Mumpreneurs Turning Reality

Mother’s Day, we have the chance to support over the years.

Shipra Tewani Bhatia - FounderDirector of Melange Chic

A brand offering luxury, ethical, and lifestyle goods is Shipra’s Melange Chic.

Shipra, a devoted mother of two, started her entrepreneurial journey six years ago and during this period she has established two boutique lifestyle stores in Beecroft. While her husband worked overseas, Shipra set up the business along with taking care of her children, aged 12 and 10 at the time. Being her could work on her own terms and balance her attention between children and business. Shipra’s prior design knowledge was helpful, but navigating industry methods was a steep learning curve. Despite the challenges, through commitment and hard work, Shipra met her goal of being available for her kids while ensuring the success of her business.

Shipra’s entrepreneurial journey is an inspiration to working mothers seeking balance in work and family life. She also Indian Mumpreneur platform to ensure that other women, who want to carve a niche in the world of business, get the necessary support and guidance.

Shipra’s story demonstrates that with persistence and determination, one can overcome challenges and achieve success while balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship.

Preeti D’silva – Founder of Better Life Migration

Preeti D’silva is a Registered Migration/Educa tion Agent and has worked in Australian Immigra tion Law for the last 18 years. Prior to working in immigration law, Preeti worked in management, marketing, sales and business development roles in a myriad of industries. Her vast experience along with an MBA from the USA gave her the confidence to set up her own immigration practice ‘Better Life Migration’ in 2017.

Her kids were 11 and 15 at the time so running a business and juggling her responsibilities as a homemaker have always been a balancing act. Her business takes up a huge chunk of her time and energy so to stay on top of things and destress she multi-tasks, makes time for self-care activities and gets the family to help with the household tasks. “From an early age, I got my kids to help be it cooking, gardening, cleaning or doing laundry. This ensured that they learnt some valuable life skills while sharing precious time and moments together. We are a very close-knit family and love to do activities together be it going for long walks, practicing yoga, or travelling. I am incredibly blessed to have children who inspire me to do better and become the best version of myself. Wishing all mums out there a very happy Mother’s Day.”

Mansi Khanna BhatiaFounder Mash Accessories & Earthy Souls

Mansi has done her MBA in marketing and communications at SIBM Pune.

Mansi’s primary concern in Australia was raising her children, and eight years later she began her entrepreneurial journey with her modest firm, Mash Accessories. Mash Accessories made distinctive and elegant fashion accessories with a twist that are inspired by native Aboriginal and Indian roots.

Mansi later founded Earthy Souls based on the principle that, as a civilised species, humans must coexist with nature rather than exploit it. With the goal of ensuring there is no pollution and little waste, Earthy Souls has carefully handpicked a variety of delicious goods using traditional methods and a dash of innovation.

Along with becoming a successful businesswoman, Mansi is committed to helping other women succeed in their careers, particularly in diverse communities. She devotes a lot of time and money to supporting regional charity. Mansi wants to make a difference in women’s lives, so she founded The Indian Tea Room, a high tea with an Indian flair. Money raised through her event supports charities, offers opportunity for networking, and supports female entrepreneurs.

After talking to these successful mumpreneurs, my piece of advice to aspiring women is to start your journey with confidence and don’t be afraid of failing. Then create a network of people you can trust. It will be quite beneficial to seek advice from successful mumpreneurs like these.
