    Building A Sisterhood | Tanvie Hans| Episode 16 | THE SHE.E.O EFFECT

    "When the system locks you out, you don't walk away. You build your own system." In this highly anticipated episode of THE SHE.E.O EFFECT, Vijayashree Parameswaran sits down with professional footballer and entrepreneur Tanvie Hans. Tanvie’s journey is a masterclass in resilience. After breaking through the intense ranks of English football to play for Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham, she returned to India with one goal: to play for the Indian National Team. But when systemic passport and citizenship regulations permanently locked her out of that dream, she had to make a choice. Instead of walking away from the pitch, she teamed up with Swetha Subbiah to co-found Sisters in Sweat. What began as a casual weekend game has now exploded into a multi-city sports and wellness movement, backed by top-tier investors like Zerodha's Rainmatter, bringing thousands of women back into sports. In this episode, we cover: - The intense reality of playing professional football in the UK. - How to navigate crushing career setbacks and systemic roadblocks. - The transition from an athlete’s mindset to a startup founder’s mindset. - The business of scaling a community-led movement. 🎙️ Hit SUBSCRIBE and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode of THE SHE.E.O EFFECT! #thesheeoeffect #tanviehans #sistersinsweat #womeninsports #femalefounders #entrepreneurship #indianfootball #leadership #startup #india #football
