3 September 2024 : Born into a prosperous family, life initially seemed like a beautiful walk in the park for Jhila Paul, untouched by poverty or crisis. However, everything changed abruptly when her father, the sole breadwinner in her family, passed away. She and her brother were still young, attending school, with little understanding of their family business. Their mother, a devoted housewife, was unfamiliar with the intricacies of running a business. In their vulnerable state, a trusted acquaintance deceitfully took over the family business, marking the beginning of her struggle with life's harsh realities at the tender age of 12.
Despite a strong desire to pursue higher education after completing her intermediate studies, financial constraints forced her to put her dreams on hold. Her family encouraged her to marry at an early age, but she resisted, expressing her determination to do something meaningful with her life and stand on her own two feet. It was during this challenging period that the seeds of her entrepreneurial mindset began to germinate, even though she didn’t fully realize it at that time.
Her dream had always been to secure a government job, particularly as a teacher, but the family's financial situation required her to find ways to support them. She began offering tuition to help meet their needs, but it was never enough. The responsibilities were overwhelming, and she yearned to contribute more.
It was during this time that she discovered a Swedish holistic well-being brand through a friend, whose business model resonated deeply with her. The opportunity came as a beacon of hope—not just for the potential income, but for the chance to make new friends, offer mutual support, and become part of a successful social selling community. This allowed her to pursue her dreams while remaining responsible to society and nature.
Challenges and obstacles naturally followed Jhila’s decision. Some family members dismissed the idea, claiming that the networking business had no future and that it wasn’t her "cup of tea". But these doubts only strengthened her resolve. She became more determined than ever to succeed, confident that she had made the right choice.
Embracing this wonderful opportunity, she embarked on her journey to success, one step at a time, realizing that each small achievement could lead to a life of abundance. Today the consumer wants good quality products that are safe and your personal reputation and business as a whole grows only when the products are good. Realising this fact, Jhila worked harder and as her business grew, she was able to significantly improve her financial situation, gaining confidence and a sense of security she had never experienced before. These transformations extended beyond financial gains—they helped her become a better person, a skilled leader, inspiring her entire team to pursue their own dreams of financial independence.
The joy of traveling with colleagues, making new friends and presenting in front of hundreds of people—experiences that were unimaginable just a few years ago—have now become cherished parts of her life. The icing on the cake came when she met her life partner, Prabir, at one of these engagements. Realizing he was the man of her dreams brought her profound joy. Oriflame has truly transformed her life in every way, elevating her standard of living and giving her a name, and Jhila is deeply grateful to this brand for being the catalyst of this transformation, both financially as well as emotionally.
