Dalit Indian entrepreneur Kalpana Saroj’s journey from a slum life, child bride, abusive family and disastrous marriage to becoming multi-millionaire and establishing over $100m worth company Kamani Tubes is an incredibly inspiring story for everyone who complains their circumstances or surrounding as barrier to success. She is a tough spirited woman who has defied all the obstacle, broke social restraints and left her decrepit village and raised a 300 crore business enterprise with her indomitable spirit, determination, perseverance and unbeatable entrepreneurial spirit to accomplish something substantial.
