Rupali Khawale is one of the inspiring Udyognis who
has tackled several challenges to follow her passion. She is running a food
stall that is helping her family to earn an additional income. Khawale stays
with her husband and two kids. The husband runs a vegetable shop which is not enough
to earn a living wage for four people. Her health issue was another factor that
raised concerns for the financial stability of the family. Nevertheless, she
has a characteristic of facing the approaching challenges instead of sitting
idle. Khawale hence tried to become financially self-dependent. She joined the
Home Chef initiative of the GTT Foundation and received professional-level
culinary training.
According to Rupali, “My family was concerned about
my health while joining the Home Chef program but at the same time they
supported me to the fullest to attain my passion. I respected their worries and
took the training sessions very seriously. There, I learned cooking from the
experts who guided me throughout. All the associated people in the program
inspired me to positively address my challenges. After finishing the program, I
started making food items and selling them. At present, I run a food stall
which is conveniently generating a profit. I am able to help my husband in
handling the finances as well as take care of myself.”
Rupali Khawale’s entrepreneurial journey not only
resulted in her becoming a micro-entrepreneur but also helped her to generate a
fair amount for personal treatment.
