In Talks with Entrepreneur Nidhi Pandya

I am Nidhi Pandya, the proud mother of a jolly son, an educator by profession for the last 23 years. I am an entrepreneur by heart. I am the founder of Facebook communities ‘Growing Buddies‘ for entrepreneurs and business people to discuss and share ideas. It has 15k+ members. Besides, I also founded 360-degree PR, a public relations company, and Glorious Gujju, a platform for Gujaratis. 

The business environment is very competitive, so one must do something different to have an edge over their competitors. I believe PR is a need of the hour. After covid when everything is online, PR activities are important. Since I have plenty of connections and networks with my people, I thought that helping them with the PR activities will boost their profile, and get them into a proper business structure. We genuinely and authentically grow our PRs by helping people generate good connections and connecting leads to them.

My motivations are my parents, my family, and most importantly my son. Although he’s my kid, I am learning a lot from him.

Very recently, I launched my startup- Growing India, a native eCommerce platform that is working to bring local sellers and vendors to sell online. It helps the Indian artisans and craftsmen to pitch their ideas and connect more people with their creative endeavours. 

We also had an online Growing Entrepreneurs business summit, where we invited top 10 investors across India and we had 15 start-ups pitch their brand ideas for funding. It was a very well-planned show, and my best project so far. 

Some of my upcoming projects include bloggers’ meet, influencing meets for influencers, boosting their profiles, and networking meetings of all the media people. I am planning for all of this for quite a long time. The purpose of this project is to bring along all the personalities of the media together for a meeting and exchange of ideas and drive growth in their ventures.
