Sindhutai Sapkal | Mother of thousands of Orphans

 From begging on stations at the age of 20 to becoming the mother of more than thousand orphans, how did Sindhutai Sapkal became mother of so much kids. She saw life at the worst and then decided to help others for whom no one is there to help.

Welcome back to Shekhar Arena!

Today we will let you know about a person who all of us should know for the noble cause she did to the society without asking anything in return. Today we will talk about MAI-that's what her kids and people who knew her called out of love and affection.

 At the age of 20, she was sitting, crying at a station and had a 10-day baby with her. She saw another beggar crying in loneliness and disgrace. The person wanted to have some water before death. She went to the beggar, offered him roti so that he can have food and water before he dies. Fortunately the beggar didn't die nor did Sindhutai.

She started "Sanmati Baal Niketan" for orphans and beggars. In today's world where everyone is thriving behind self-growth and money, a woman who struggled to manage her own food started this organization to help others. Assume once how she managed this organization where 1000's of kids live today, get educated and are doing great in life.


Mai got a lot of awards from various presidents including Padma Shri. She said in an interview- I got so many awards but not a single government fund. Adding to this she said-"Awards ki roti nahi banti (Awards can't buy you breads)". 

The country needs to know about Mai. We intend to suffer a lot in our lives but think this way- A lot of things we have got without or with negligible efforts. She is a real-life inspiration. A real-life hero!


Mai left us early this year in January. It's high time we change our heroes and role models. These people need some validation and support from us. 

That's it for the day. Do let us know how do you like Shekhar Arena. What you think of the blogs? Do you want to read similar kind of blogs? If you like the content, hit the follow button, comment yoyour views and share the blog.

Anubhav Dubey | Chai Sutta Bar

Started with a minimal capital of 3 lakhs, Chai Sutta Bar  (CSB as we say) has a turnover of more than 100 crores. It has 400 franchise outlets spread across India and abroad including Dubai, Muscat and Nepal. Welcome to ShekharArena! Today we will let you know about Chai Sutta Bar and elements of business that have helped them achieve this feat. Till today, Chai Sutta Bar is a bootstrapped business. Bootstrapped means they haven't taken any loans or external investments to fund their business. Product Range: Initially they kept adding new products to the inventory and made it to 200 products. This is a common mistake that most early age investors do. Menu design should focus on how we can maximize no of products with less raw materials, less resources and same SOP with little modifications. They learnt it the hard way and now they serve only 21 products. Initial Team: The initial team structure should align with your vision. Not only the team should give 200% efforts plus can prov...

 According to a Reuters report, we use 40 billion plastic bottles every month,1.3 billion every day,54.9 M every hour and 1 M(10 lakhs) bottles every minute. Assume how fast these plastic-borne diseases can spread among us. Welcome back to Shekhar Arena! In the last blog, we talked about how aggressively we drink water in plastic bottles and their adverse impacts. If you haven't read the blog, link is in comments. We will be discussing about what feasible solutions we do have to tackle this issue. You might be wondering what other option do we have. Almost all water bottles readily available in market are made up of plastic. What can we do? Carry our own water bottle. This may sound a bit inconvenient but it is one of the most effective solutions. Do buy a reusable bottle and carry it everywhere we go. This will not add any further plastic into nature. Carrying these bottles everywhere is not convenient Yes it's not but it is our choice whether we want to face diseases like can...
