Today’s episode is all about small business. If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to start and grow a small business—this episode is definitely for you. We’re going to dive into an entrepreneur's journey—from that first spark of an idea to what it’s like behind the scenes: the challenges, the wins, the late-night packaging marathons, and the deep sense of purpose that keeps a business going.Our guest is Shweta, the founder and heart behind The Ethnic Tadka, a beautiful small business that curates Indian ethnic wear, jewelry, and accessories. Her story highlights something we talk about a lot on this podcast: the power of community, and women supporting women. When we choose to shop small, we’re not just buying a product—we’re investing in someone’s dream, in their hustle, their late nights, their creativity, and their courage.And if you enjoyed this episode and want to hear more such stories, tag us or DM us with suggestions.
