Founder & CEO, YourStory
Shradha founded YourStory in 2008 with one goal—tell stories of India's new-age entrepreneurs. Over the last 16 years, YourStory has been the champion, the chronicler, and the catalyst for each changemaker in the country dreaming and daring to tread the road to entrepreneurship. Since then, YourStory has touched over 10 million lives across 20+ digital assets such as TechSparks and SheSparks, editorial coverage in 11+ languages and across sectors, subscription-based premium platform The CapTable, and more. Shradha has also committed to the bold vision of creating 5 million job-creators by 2028, including more women job creators through practical, outcome-based courses, for entrepreneurship success and growth.
In the past, Shradha has interviewed and profiled notable change makers and influencers, including:
She was featured in Fortune magazine's “40 Under 40 Entrepreneurs in India” list for three consecutive years. In 2018, Shradha was honored with the Forbes Power Trailblazers Award. She has also been recognized twice on LinkedIn's list of influential figures, alongside prominent personalities like Prime Minister Narendra Modi and actor Priyanka Chopra.
With more than two million followers on her personal social media handles, over five million followers on YourStory’s handles, and around eight million monthly active readers on the platform, Shradha's network and influence are far-reaching. She has consistently leveraged her influence over the past decade to shine a spotlight on entrepreneurs and the enabling ecosystem.
