The Woman Behind Forttuna Group | Aditii Handa’s Untold Story
In this episode of Corporate Life, Hina Siddiqui is joined by Aditii to discuss the raw reality of leadership and the often-unspoken journey through failure. Aditii shares how a "rollercoaster ride" of starting a business and facing setbacks shaped her into the leader she is today.
From the challenges of being a female executive in a male-dominated industry to the deeply personal motivations behind her "legacy" project, Aditii reveals why true success is impossible without first tasting the bitterness of failure.
Key Takeaways
The journey of an entrepreneur is rarely a straight line; it involves navigating countless rejections and "sleepless nights" to build something meaningful.
True leadership and resilience are built when you learn how to "dust yourself up" after falling and continue to push forward regardless of societal pressures.
Delayed gratification is essential in business; choosing to face challenges today allows for greater freedom and sweet success later.
Episode Highlights
Aditii reflects on the pivotal moment of starting her own venture and the boldness required to take that initial "coin flip" risk.
A deep dive into the "80% of failures" that aren't usually seen by the public but are the foundation of any successful career.
The conversation touches on the influence of parents, specifically how a father’s legacy and a mother’s "progressive" support can shape a woman's drive to succeed.
