This journey from floor to harem was not so easy. The story of Savitaben, who founded such a huge empire on the basis of poverty and struggle, is no less than a film.

How it started

Somehow the bread of two times could be destined. In this situation, Savitaben also decided to leave the house for work. But the biggest hurdle was that she was completely illiterate so nobody wanted to hire her.

Black coal brightened its fortunes

Even after doing a lot of rounds, she did not hire anyone, then, in the end, she thought of doing some work of her own. Savitaben's parents used to sell coal. Taking inspiration from her parents, she also decided to start the work of selling coal. But the biggest challenge was that they did not have the money to buy goods. Therefore, under compulsion, Savitaben took the burnt coal out of the mills and started selling it from door to door.

How to make crores of business

In spite of all the challenges, Savitaben never gave up and remained steadfast in her path of action. She managed to make a long list of his customers by selling coal from house to house. Years and years of hard work started paying off and they started making good profits.
