Show Notes

In this episode of the Driven Female Entrepreneur Podcast, I speak with Pragati Siddhanti, the Founder of My Swiss Story.


Pragati has a diverse background in technology and a deep love of writing. While her corporate career didn’t provide much opportunity for creativity, when she and her family relocated to Switzerland in 2016, she found the perfect opportunity to explore her passion. She wrote about her new experiences in a blog, which became My Swiss Story.


Moving to Switzerland from India was a transformative experience for her, as she navigated cultural transitions and overcame challenges that tested her resilience. Amidst the ups and downs, she found inspiration and shared her unique expat perspective. This resonated with readers who sought relatable stories and valuable insights on international transitions.


Now, Pragati empowers newcomers to Switzerland through relatable narratives and valuable insights shared on her blog and social media. From humble beginnings, she offers guidance on overcoming challenges, embracing local culture, and building a fulfilling life abroad. My Swiss Story serves as a supportive community and platform for others to share their experiences alongside Pragati's valuable resources.

Don’t miss this episode as Pragati reflects on the evolution of her business, from its modest beginnings to its present-day success. Discover the wealth of resources she has built, designed to assist and inspire individuals embarking on their own international adventures and how Pragati is turning her passion into a profitable side business.

“I try as much as possible to stay in the moment and go into execution mode. When I prioritise and take it one day at a time, I can achieve remarkable things without overwhelming myself.” - Pragati Siddhanti

Highlights:

In this value-packed episode you’ll learn:

  • Why it's important to have a deep passion and love for what you do.
  • How to stop waiting for the perfect moment and achieve consistency.
  • The key to continuous growth and learning.

...and so much more!

“We grew up differently, prioritising academics and other pursuits. Self-love and self-care were unfamiliar concepts. Now, I understand their importance through personal experiences.” - Pragati Siddhanti
