Her journey is a testament to what happens when you dream bigger, trust your instincts, and create with intention.

Now on to her next chapter, Smita reflects on the lessons, leaps, and love that shaped her entrepreneurial path, and what it truly means to build a business that becomes bigger than yourself.
