]]>Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 19: In conversation with Ronak Shah Soneta, founder of WeHaveAVision, on building her own business, moving countries, and learning to balance entrepreneurship with motherhood.
When speaking with Ronak Shah Soneta, one quickly realises that her journey into entrepreneurship has been shaped less by big milestones and more by consistency, adaptability, and growing through different phases of life. Now at 32, she reflects on a journey that began at the age of 19 through employment with Dentsu Aegis Network.
Starting professionally in 2014, she worked across PR, branding, influencer marketing, and digital strategy, gradually building experience across fashion, beauty, hospitality, healthcare, and lifestyle sectors.
During our conversation, she recalls how entrepreneurship was never something she had aggressively planned from the beginning.
“I always enjoyed working with brands and understanding storytelling,” she says. “But somewhere along the way, I realized I wanted to create something of my own as well.”
That shift became clearer after her marriage in 2019, during a trip to Barcelona — a phase she describes as an important turning point. Encouraged by her husband, Chintan Soneta, she decided to start WeHaveAVision later that year.
What began with a single client in 2019 slowly grew over time, and today the company has worked with over 148 brands worldwide across fashion, beauty, hospitality, healthcare, luxury, and lifestyle industries. Some of the brands the agency has collaborated with include Paula’s Choice, Pokémon, Dessange Paris, Charles & Keith, La Senza, The Earth Café, and Jindal Cocoa.
Ronak and Chintan later moved to London, where they spent four years before eventually returning to Mumbai. During this phase, Chintan worked in finance while she pursued her MSc in Digital Marketing from University of Westminster, graduating in 2023. It was also during this period that WeHaveAVision was officially registered in the UK.
Speaking about her master’s degree, she shares that the experience gave her a stronger understanding of analytics, consumer behavior, AI-driven marketing, websites, podcasts, and digital strategy.
“It helped me understand how important it is to balance creativity with strategy,” she explains. “You can have great ideas, but understanding audiences and digital behavior changes the way you approach campaigns.”
Over time, WeHaveAVision also expanded into influencer marketing, UGC creation, creator-led campaigns, celebrity management, and luxury events. Today, the agency works with over 400 creators globally and has collaborated with personalities including Masoom Minawala, Anaita Shroff Adajania, Anissa Malhotra Jain, Aashna Shroff, Malvika Sitlani, and Malvika Raaj across India, the USA, UK, Dubai, and Australia.
The company has also worked on lifestyle and luxury events including the Kinjal Bhanushali Ganpati Celebrations, end-to-end management for Sonam Babani’s wedding in Switzerland, and celebrations such as Malvika Raaj’s baby shower.
Ronak Shah Soneta, Founder & Core Strategist, WeHaveAVision
But perhaps the most honest part of the conversation comes when she speaks about navigating entrepreneurship alongside.
“There’s no proper maternity leave when you’re running your own business,” she says candidly. “But at the same time, entrepreneurship also gives you flexibility. You can decide when to slow down, when to pause, and when to reconnect with work.”
She shares how, during postpartum life, even spending a short amount of time reviewing campaigns, signing invoices, overseeing work, or simply checking in with her team helped her maintain a sense of routine and mental balance during an emotionally transformative phase.
“Sometimes work became that one-hour distraction which actually helped me mentally reset before going back to my baby,” she says. “I think over time you realise entrepreneurship and motherhood don’t always have to compete with each other. You slowly learn your own balance.”
Motherhood, she says, did not change her ambition, but it did change her perspective on pace, priorities, and self-expectations. It became less about doing everything perfectly and more about finding balance in a way that worked personally and professionally.
Today, she continues to lead WeHaveAVision from Mumbai alongside a young team of Millennials and Gen Z professionals, working with brands across India, the USA, UK, Dubai, Singapore, and beyond.
And while the business has steadily grown over the years, her approach towards entrepreneurship remains relatively simple — staying consistent, evolving with the industry, and building meaningful work over time.
“Entrepreneurship teaches you resilience, but motherhood teaches you perspective. Both change you in very different ways.”

New Delhi [India], July 8: BigMudra, founded by Mr. Ankkit Jain, a rising name in India’s big financial services sector, is proud to announce its official expansion in business loan solutions, further putting its mission on a strong path to provide business loan access for millions of Indians. After making a significant achievement in the personal loans space, the brand decided to expand its vision, supporting India’s growing small business ecosystem.
A Journey That Began with Personal Loans
BigMudra began its journey with a simple yet powerful vision: to make personal loans easy, fast, and easily accessible to every Indian, regardless of their city or credit history. What started as a digital-first modest initiative to assist salaried and self-employed entrepreneurs with quick personal loans has now grown into a trusted digital lending platform.
The brand is trusted by many Indians as a go-to partner for their financial needs, and this reputation has been gained by offering a transparent loan process, competitive interest rates, and less paperwork, using smart technology to shorten the loan process time. Over the years, as India’s economy grew, the financial needs of its people grew as well. Entrepreneurs, small business owners, and MSMEs started to search for faster and more flexible financing solutions.
BigMudra earned the trust of thousands of users by putting their needs first, no matter what it is, a medical emergency or an urgent home repair.
The Evolution: From Personal Loans To Business Empowerment
BigMudra, known for its trusted and reliable personal loan services, has now officially entered the business loan segment to support entrepreneurs and MSMEs in India.
The brand is moving forward with the same values and qualities that made it successful: trust, speed, and transparency.
This expansion is more than just a new product; it’s a commitment to India’s growth story.
“We are delighted to serve India’s growing entrepreneurship and MSME sector with faster, easier, and more accessible business loan solutions,” said Mr. Ankkit Jain. “Our journey started with personal finance and taught us a lesson: that people will always praise simplicity, honesty, and speed. Now we are bringing those same qualities to business finance.”
Making Business Loans Simple, Smart, And Stress-Free
Working capital, inventory purchases, equipment financing, and digital expansion are offered by BigMudra. Here is what makes BigMura’s business loan stand out:
BigMudra is making business financing more accessible with its streamlined business loan offerings. Designed for MSMEs and growing businesses, the business loan comes with flexible tenure options, less paperwork, and a fully digital application process.
MSMEs and startup owners can benefit from collateral-free options and competitive rates. With the help of AI-powered risk assessment and fast approval mechanisms, BigMudra offerings have become much easier. This means any business can have easy access to financial support effortlessly.
Serving Diverse Borrowers: Personal & Business Together
While BigMudra is expanding its wings to the business loan segment, it continues to stay committed to personal loan customers as well. The brand believes that financial needs can be personal and professional, and both needs equal attention.
By providing both personal and business loans at the same time under one roof, BigMudra has now become a one-stop financial partner for India’s ambitious middle-class, salaried workers, and entrepreneurs.
“We are not moving away from personal loans,” clarified the team. “Instead, we are growing alongside our customers. Many of our personal loan customers have become entrepreneurs, and now, we are ready to walk the next step of the journey with them.”
Strengthening India’s MSME Sector
The MSME sector is the backbone of the Indian economy, contributing nearly 30% to the country’s GDP and employing over 11 crore people in India. However, many small business owners don’t have access to the funds they need.
BigMudra aims to bridge the gap between business owners and access to the fund by offering inclusive lending that reaches every single person in this country.
With a mix of technology-driven processing, dedicated human support, and a deep understanding of ground realities, BigMudra is redefining how lending should work: fast, fair, and friendly.
Looking Ahead
As BigMudra scales its operations across India, its focus remains crystal clear: to empower individuals and businesses with easy access to credit when they need it the most.
The company is also working on launching new features, such as loan management dashboards and educational content to help borrowers make informed decisions.
Whether you are starting a business, scaling up operations, or managing personal goals, BigMudra is now more equipped than ever to be your financial ally.
