SUPER MUMS

Nirmala is such a talented person when it comes to baking. She has created a beautiful company called Pumpkin Bakes which makes the most heavenly cakes in the world! Nirmala is also one of the kindest, most generous people I have ever had the pleasure of getting to know.

I have always looked up to Nisha with admiration. I admire her talent as a swimmer and her success as an Indian Olympian. I admire her dedication and work ethic. I love her academy (my children learnt to swim with her) and I admire her as an athlete. She manages to do SO much and still be a phenomenal mother. Nisha is another woman that demonstrates hard work and proves that with a determined attitude and a bit of grit, success will prevail. She is a real super woman!

Saher is a woman who can do it all! Whilst raising three children she has set up a business and runs a successful community for women. I have seen the wonderful work she does and what a difference she makes. Saher is living proof that there are no limits to what a woman can do.

I met Premila on our Super Mums of India Facebook group. She is a woman who stands out for her multitude of talents and her big heart. I have had the pleasure of getting to know her over the years and I have enjoyed learning about her passions and missions. This woman is a shining rainbow and a true force to be reckoned with!

She has an MBA from XLRI, and more importantly, she has 2 boys and a dog who contributed much more to her learning!

Dr Sheetal Amte is not only a super mum but a super incredible woman. It is quite astounding how much she does for so many people. I had the pleasure of meeting her fourteen years ago in Anandwan on my first trip to India. She is such a hard working, inspirational, caring and utterly humble human being. I am honoured to know her and be able to call her my friend.
