Simran Sheikh, noted woman entrepreneur, promotes the new language of entrepreneurship: Rooted, Rebellious and Redefining

 Simran Sheikh is a fast rising woman entrepreneur and cultural revivalist.

As we approach the end of 2025, the world of entrepreneurship feels both electric and unsettling. Artificial intelligence is rewriting industries, the start-up ecosystem is leaning more toward sustainability than speed, and the global consumer — more than ever — is searching for meaning, not just material.

In the middle of this transformative storm stands a new kind of entrepreneur — one who is not running away from roots, but running back to them.

For decades, success was defined by scale, disruption, and the ability to break away from the past. But today, the real revolution lies in revival — in the courage to look back, reimagine, and reintroduce the world to the beauty we almost forgot.

As an Indian woman entrepreneur, my journey began with one simple question: Can tradition and innovation walk hand in hand?

The answer, Simran discovered, was not only yes — it was necessary.

India, for centuries, has been a living canvas of craftsmanship, culture, and consciousness. But in our rush to globalise, we often overlooked the quiet genius of our artisans, the timeless sustainability of our crafts, and the emotional intelligence embedded in our heritage.

Entrepreneurship, for Simran, became a way to converse with that forgotten heritage — to translate it into the modern world’s language without losing its soul. It wasn’t about building a business; it was about building a bridge — between generations, between hand and heart, between India and the world.

2025 has shown us that the world is ready for authenticity. Consumers are tired of perfection; they crave purpose. They are not just buying products; they are buying philosophies, stories, and honesty.

And perhaps, that’s where women entrepreneurs are quietly leading the next wave.

Women, inherently intuitive and rooted in empathy, are designing brands that don’t just sell — they speak. Whether it’s through sustainable fashion, ethical design, mindful food systems, or cultural innovation, women are rewriting what business leadership looks like — with grace and grit in equal measure.

But this journey is not romantic. It demands resilience. It requires you to stand your ground when the world questions your pace, your vision, or your unconventional choices.

   For Simran Sheikh, it meant embracing uncertainty with a quiet fire — knowing that impact doesn’t need to shout; it can whisper and still move mountains.

  Simran is not just a businesswoman but a storyteller — of India’s culture, of womanhood, of courage.

Because the future of entrepreneurship, Simran believes, will not belong to those who chase trends, but to those who protect truth.

So here’s her reflection as we move into a new year:

The most powerful businesses of tomorrow will not emerge from boardrooms — they will rise from the soil, from stories, from traditions reborn.

And perhaps, the real entrepreneur of this era is not the one who builds the next big thing — but the one who rebuilds the things that were always worth keeping.
