Divya Raghavendra Rao

About

I’m Divya, and if you’re thinking about ditching the safe path for something you truly care about, you’re in good company. I swapped the stability of being a Chartered Accountant for the whirlwind of the food business. Critics? Loads. Self-doubt? Plenty. But turning my dream into a real brand taught me more than any classroom ever could.

What I Actually Do

I mentor with zero jargon and no textbook fluff. You get the real deal - straight talk on what it’s like to build a business from scratch. I share my wins, but more importantly, my mess-ups and what I learned. If you’re after practical leadership mentorship instead of theory, I’m your person.

If You’re Ready to Jump

Taking the leap is scary, I know. I help you:

• Find what really drives you (not just what looks good on paper)
• Handle all the opinions and “advice” from people around you
• Use your own skills - like how my finance background turned into a secret weapon

Navigating the Maze

Entrepreneurship isn’t linear. It’s about swayam shakti (self-power). I guide you on:

• Entering new industries without feeling clueless
• Protecting your brand and identity legally, right from day one
• Balancing work, home, and chaos - especially for women entrepreneur support

Building for the Long Run

Being a CA, IIM-A grad, and a mom in business means I get the numbers and the hustle. We’ll work on:

• Making sure your finances and compliance are sorted
• Start-up mindset guidance for growing smart, not just fast
• Creating a team that feels like family
• Managing family-business dynamics, especially if you’re building something with loved ones

Why I Do This

Stepping out of my comfort zone changed everything. If you’re ready to challenge yourself, I’ll help you craft a business and life with real zest.
