Sushmita’s inspiration for starting her venture was simple, “When I read the book The Secret, I realized that I knew what I wanted all the while. It was the universe’s way of telling me that whatever is yours comes back to you at some point of time. And for me it has taken 16 long years. And now my entire focus is on I AM SHE.”
