What are your retirement plans? A quiet place, far away from the hustle and bustle of life? Or sleepy mornings, walks and TV?Hold onto that thought, for we have Urmila Jamnadas Asher, a 77 year old who proved that age is no bar to entrepreneurship. Having suffered the loss of her children and after almost losing her grandson to a severe accident, she buoyed on- chirpy, energetic and full of life. Harsh, her grandson who says he began his “second innings” joined hands with his grandmother to start, set up and run a successful business amidst the pandemic, even as people lost jobs and went bankrupt. Learn how they did it- at 77! Life was ruthless for Urmila Jamnadas Asher. But she chose to deal with it through not giving up and being there for others.
