She invested little, relied on word of mouth, and focused on improving her technique. Alongside serving clients, she started training local girls, sharing what she had learned. The combination of practice and teaching pushed her to upgrade her skills further through formal courses, taken over time as finances allowed.A business built on services and trainingToday, Maurya runs a neighbourhood salon that offers personal grooming and beauty services, while also functioning as a small training centre.
