Neha Bagaria, CEO and founder of HerKey, India's leading platform for women's careers, highlights a critical issue: "Women who possess exceptional qualifications, ambition, ability, and experience often leave their careers abruptly and never return." In a recent interview on 'Wiping out the Norm', with the host Radhika Bajoria, Neha shared her journey from resuming her career post-Wharton graduation to founding JobsForHer, now HerKey. Her dedication stems from her personal experience of a 3.6-year break after her children, she realized the challenges women face in reentering the workforce. "Only 10% of educated and qualified women are pursuing long-term careers," Neha explained, based on her research. This scarcity of women in the workforce, due to reasons like marriage or motherhood, creates barriers to re-employment. An alarming disparity also exists, as Neha noted: "A diverse consumer base should reflect diversity in your workforce as well. That is untrue, though, as 80% of employees in FMCG companies are men and 80% of their consumer base consists of women.” To address these gaps, HerKey pioneers scalable solutions. With 3.5 million female job seekers, 10,000+ employers, and 800+ learning partners, HerKey offers job matches, skill-building, and professional networks. The platform links women at all levels with suitable jobs, offers learning opportunities to help them re-skill and upskill, and creates communities where women can network professionally. The company's goal is to empower women to realize their full economic potential by providing them with communities, learning opportunities, and support throughout all stages of their lives and professional journeys. Their vision extends to supporting Women Starters and Entrepreneurs, alongside Women Returnees, Women In Tech, and Women In Leadership. This inclusive approach empowers women at all career stages. HerKey, a career engagement platform for women in India, raised $4 million in a pre-Series A round from Kalaari, 360 ONE Asset, and angel investors including Zia Mody, Puneet Dalmia, Pramit Jhaveri, Aditi and Shuchi Kothari, KP Balaraj, Ranjan Pai, Neeraj Bajaj, Akash Bhansali and others.

Today, CashKaro has over 18M downloads, is the only VC-backed Cashback site, and has raised $15 million in Series A funding led by Kalaari Capital & Series B funding led by Korea Investment Partners. It drives more than $500 million in sales annually. “𝑰𝒏 𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒔 10, 𝑰 𝒕𝒐𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒂, 𝑰 𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒅 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂 𝒔𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒂𝒓𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒕𝒖𝒅𝒚 𝒊𝒏 𝑺𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒆, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 25 𝒔𝒕𝒖𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑰𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒂 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒈𝒐𝒕 𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒅”. Born and raised in a small town, Ambala, she got the opportunity to study in Singapore and later at The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), and worked at Goldman Sachs for five years. In our conversation with Swati, we dived deeper into her journey of transitioning from a high-paying job in the UK to building a business in India. She started a UK-based Cashback business - ‘Pouring Pounds Ltd ' along with her husband & co-founder, Rohan Bhargava. They expanded it and ventured into the Indian market. “𝑨 𝒇𝒆𝒘 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒚 𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒄𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝒘𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒑𝒖𝒕 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒚. 𝑰 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒘𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 0 𝒕𝒐 $750,000 𝒊𝒏 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 48 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔”.

Swati explained how people are using Earnkaro to generate an extra income which is turning out to be more than their salaries.
