When we think of success, it means different things for all of us. For some, it is fighting against the odds to complete college graduation, for some, it is becoming the first woman in the family to get a job. For others, it may be to qualify and attain a scholarship that will help further their dreams. In a country like ours, a growing number of women are looking to work and are making their own success stories in the process.

Glow & Lovely Careers (formerly known as Fair & Lovely Career Foundation) scholarships have enabled several women to pursue their education and move a step closer to their dream of having a career. There may be a number of reasons why someone might be in need of a scholarship. We have as an example, the case of Arshia, who was a B Tech student, to see how scholarships help students. Arshia was in the first year of her graduation when her father passed away in an accident. To support the family, her mother began running a small shop. As the oldest in her family, Arshia knew she needed to complete her graduation and find a job to support her family. She applied and received a scholarship from the Glow and Lovely Careers, which covered the cost of an entire year of her education. This significantly eased her financial burden and enabled her to focus on her studies, thus setting her up well for the future.

Another amazing story is that of Swati Bhura. She is from Kolkata and when she was quite young, she lost her mother. To help support her education and her family, she began taking tuitions while she was still finishing school. Her goal was to complete her education and become a Chartered Accountant. She was looking for scholarships for women and found out about our scholarship program through a newspaper advertisement. She won a scholarship and was not only able to successfully complete her CA course, she has also worked with some of the most prestigious companies including, Deloitte and Coca Cola since becoming a CA.

Sometimes, we may not be able to understand how to apply for a scholarship. Take the example of Vijaya from Seondha. Vijaya was already an Electronics engineer but wanted to become an Indian Public Services officer. She even quit her job to prepare but as luck would have it, she could not clear the preliminary that was held in 2017. A good friend of hers informed of the opportunity to apply for a scholarship by the Glow and Lovely Careers. When Vijaya applied and was selected for the scholarship, it gave her the chance to focus completely on her IPS preparation, freeing her of the stress and financial burden.

To follow your passion and become a successful woman, you may need help that might not be easily available at times. These women showed us the power of persistence and also finding the right help. If you too feel like you need some financial aid in order to pursue your education or prepare for an exam, you should certainly try to apply for a scholarship with the Glow and Lovely Careers.

The Inspiring Story of Aditi Avasthi, CEO Embibe.com

**She could not clear IIT-JEE. However, Aditi did not get discouraged. Instead, she used this experience to establish her own company!** After 12th, admission to many courses is usually through entrance tests. Students spend a lot of time, money and energy to prepare for these tests. Coaching classes, mock tests, and hours of preparation.... students and their parents put in all their efforts. The aim is to crack these tests. It was the same case with Aditi too. This girl from Ludhiana, Punjab, had worked hard to crack IIT-JEE. She was naturally disappointed when she did not clear the exam. However, what she did after that is what makes Aditi's story so special. **She did not let disappointment discourage her. She stuck to her decision to become an engineer.** <br /> **After completing her studies, Aditi worked in different companies. Then she established her own start-up - Embibe.com. Embibe.com is an online platform to guide students who wish to appear for competitive exams.** <br /> <br /> **The start-up was so successful that Reliance recently invested Rs. 500 crores in it!** Here is Aditi's story -- an inspiration to girls across India! **Success in the corporate world....** After completing her engineering, Aditi started working with Tata Consultancy Services. Her area of specialization was the Growth of New business initiatives. While she was working at Tata, she won the AIMI Young Leaders project. This achievement is special. Initially, Aditi was considered too young for the AIMI Young Leaders project. Her nomination was even rejected! In spite of all this, Aditi was meant to succeed. Winning this project was just the beginning. Aditi didn't just stop at just engineering though. She decided to pursue an MBA degree in Finance and Marketing. So Aditi went to Chicago for her MBA. She completed her MBA from a very prestigious college there. After her MBA, Aditi joined the prestigious Barclays bank. A good job with an international bank, money, success.... Aditi had it all! **In spite of all this success, Aditi still thought about her IIT -JEE exam. The experience of not cracking this exam had stayed with her....** When Aditi could not crack the exam, instead of getting discouraged, she analyzed what went wrong. She realized she was comparatively weak in Chemistry. So, she should have spent more time on that subject. However, Aditi did not get the guidance she needed at that time. So, Aditi decided to start something that would provide students with proper guidance to crack competitive exams like IIT-JEE, BITSAT, and CET. **Aditi came back to India. She spoke to students in various cities. She wanted to understand the problems they faced during exams. Based on her research and experience, Aditi launched Embibe.com.** **Aditi thus converted her loss into gain. She used her experience of IIT-JEE entrance test while creating Embibe.com.** <br /> <br /> **It makes use of artificial intelligence and analytics. It provides customized guidance to students on how to prepare for these competitive exams.** <br /> <br /> It makes use of analytics to analyze student's speed, accuracy, and time management.
