Interview of a woman entrepreneur

About herself
Mrs. Subi Mally started Subishi Impex Pvt. Ltd. 16 years back i.e. in 1991. She is an agent between the Importer and Exporter. Basically she does sourcing as per the needs of the Importer and Exporter.
Mrs. Subi Mally is from a Conservative South Indian family. Her father is and Industrialist. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She did her schooling from Queen Mary’s High School. After S.S.C., she wanted to take up Commerce but she was not allowed. She took up Arts. She went to Sophiya College which was close to her residence. She stood 3rd in her College in H.S.C. She did her Post Graduation in Economics. She excelled in whatever she did.
She wanted to be an Entrepreneur since her teen age. She was underestimated by her parents. She started her Career by comparing a Finance Company’s show in Hyderabad.
Inspite of being a daughter of an Industrialist, she did not join her father’s Industry. She started a small factory which required manual work. As every 30th of a month is important for the Industries, she used to slog along with the labourers till the work was done. Her father didn’t want her to work along the labourers and hence asked her to close the factory.
She got married in 1988. Her husband is a Civil Engineer. After marriage she shifted to U.S.A. with her husband. Her husband opened his own business but failed and so they shifted back to India. Her husband faced financial problems and so she took up work again. She went to work even when her son was of just 3 months. Her Industrialist friend helped her financially during this phase of her life. Her main support was a Rubber Company owned by Mr. Ajit Roy who is her Husband’s cousin.
In 1994, she started a new business by acting as an agent between the Financial Institutions and Trading Companies. When she started the business, everyday was difficult for her.
She believes that education is very important to be an Entrepreneur. She doesn’t deny the fact that there were and there are some Industrialists or Businessmen who have reached great heights without degrees but that was before Millennium and now to Survive in the Competition one should be Educated.
She feels that a woman needs 10 times more qualities than a man to be an Entrepreneur. She doesn’t mind learning from her Managers to even peons.
She does a lot of adjustments to manage her personal and professional life. Her husband supports her and her son is proud of her. He family members do complain her about the hectic schedule of work as she has to attend meetings even at 3 o’clock in the morning.
She believes in hard work. She says that one should work hard and luck will favour him. Her success mantra is”Give me more problems, those are the opportunities”. She says that 1 problem comes and 10 doors are opened. Her people (employees) are her assets as she has no machineries.
At present her firm is not financially capable of giving the salaries to her employees but she has not lost hopes. She has asked her CEO to go out and look into a Marketing Manager’s job as she thinks that sitting in the office won’t help the employees to get their salaries.
She has zeal of Entrepreneurship. Her future plan is to expand her business. She feels that she has not to still achieve a lot in life. Work is happiness for her.
