- Careers
Rajani Patel and Anu Shenoy are the co-founders of FemTech Startup Veira Life. Presently based in Singapore, they have diverse backgrounds - Rajani was an engineer turned stay home mom and later pursued a career path in early childhood education whilst Anu is a former management consultant. What they share in common is that they both took career breaks to care for their children and later found their second calling to start Veira Life, an online platform which provides personalised coaching for mothers from pregnancy through to their post-natal journey, early childhood parenting and transitioning back to work. Or in their own words, creating the support system they wish they’d had. Join us as we chat about how they are filling a gap for women and empowering spouses along the journey too.
Today, Veira Life is extending a very special offer to listeners of Make it Work. Use the code MIWFREE to get access to all their virtual prenatal classes FREE when you register on their website.
In our conversation, we also discuss:
🌟How they navigated multiple career changes
🌟Veira Life: Anu and Rajani’s venture to change the way support is given to mothers
🌟The biggest lesson learnt after interviewing hundreds of mothers across geographies and age groups
🌟What keeps them motivated as first time entrepreneurs in their 40s and 50s
