Ranjana Yadav, an entrepreneur and owner of Vidhivani pearl farming, a startup in Agra, Uttar Pradesh. Ranjana stumbled upon pearl farming almost three years ago, while completing her MSc in Forestry, and was immediately fascinated. "The very process of how a pearl forms inside shells as an act of self defense really surprised and fascinated me. To see how people were employing this natural phenomenon to create something so beautiful was even more interesting and I wanted to be a part of it", she adds.
She shared her entrepreneurial dreams with her family, but they were skeptical. So, she decided to win them over by cultivating pearls at home.
