Motivational Monday: The Success Story of KIRAN MAZUMDAR-SHAW. This Motivational Monday, we shine a light on the remarkable journey of KIRAN MAZUMDAR-SHAW, the founder of BICON, India’s leading biopharmaceutical company. Kiran's journey started with a dream of becoming a brewmaster, but when opportunities in brewing were limited for women in India, she shifted gears. With just ₹10,000 and a rented garage in 1978, she founded Biocon, focusing on industrial enzymes. Facing skepticism as a woman in a male-dominated industry, she persevered through numerous challenges, including financial constraints and a lack of infrastructure. Her vision and determination eventually led Biocon to become a global biotech giant, making affordable medicines accessible worldwide. Today, Kiran is one of India’s most successful self-made entrepreneurs. Her journey is a powerful reminder that with passion, resilience, and innovation, you can break barriers and create lasting impact. #Motivation

Guys, it's good to be inspired but do not be misguided into thinking you can do this too because not everyone can replicate this in today's much more competitive startup environment
