How Shwetha Sivaraman Found Harmony in the Hustle

On paper, Shwetha Sivaraman had it all.An MBA from one of India’s top business schools. A career with some of the country’s largest conglomerates. Specialisation in finance and marketing. A life many people openly admired.Yet, something didn’t feel right.“My life looked great on paper and people would often tell me they’d love to be where I am. But somehow, the success felt empty,” Shwetha shares.Like many ambitious professionals around her, Shwetha began questioning what success really meant. She noticed a growing trend—friends and fellow MBAs leaving high-powered careers to retreat to the Himalayas in search of peace and purpose.That didn’t sit well with her.“They had so many talents to contribute, but felt they had to leave everything behind to find meaning. I kept wondering—why should fulfilment come at the cost of ambition?”That question became the seed of her entrepreneurial journey.Can there be both success and peace?Shwetha began exploring a different possibility—one where ambition and inner calm could coexist.“I asked myself, ‘Can there be both success and peace?’ To me, that would be a life lived well.”That belief led her to start Being Meraklis, a wellness brand based in Bangalore that supports ambitious professionals in finding peace, balance, and fulfilment—without walking away from their careers.Today, Being Meraklis touches lives through:One-on-one coachingYoga and meditation workshopsA podcastA self-help bookShwetha wasn’t just building a business—she was building a bridge between modern ambition and mindful living.When even the coach needs a coachAs her work grew, so did the need for structure and clarity.“I had the vision and the impact, but I needed support to build systems, scale sustainably, and communicate my value clearly.”That’s when Shwetha joined the Mentoring Women in Business programme, where she was paired with Abhish Nair, who works in Strategy, Operations, and Partnerships at PayPal, Singapore.Together, they worked on:Formalising business processesHiring and building a teamSharpening a clear, confident sales pitchThe result? A business that was not just meaningful—but also scalable and future-ready.Where HEN comes inStories like Shwetha’s are exactly why HEN exists.At HEN, we believe women entrepreneurs don’t need to choose between purpose and profit, impact and income, ambition and balance. What they do need is the right ecosystem—mentorship, community, and real-world support—to grow with confidence.Shwetha’s journey is a reminder that: ✨ You don’t have to walk alone ✨ Even experts deserve guidance ✨ And the right network can help you turn clarity into scaleAt HEN, we strive to be that support system—so our members don’t just start businesses, but build sustainable, fulfilling ones.Because success feels very different when you don’t have to hustle alone. 💛

You are free to disagree, state your own opinion and provide critical feedback, but please keep it respectful. Please respect other members’ beliefs, and consider your impact on others when making your contribution.
