As the founder of MAHRVI Trends, Renuka has built her business with determination, resilience, and a commitment to serving her community. Starting a retail business from the ground up brought many challenges, but she continued learning, adapting, and moving forward. Through MAHRVI, she strives to create opportunities, build meaningful relationships with customers, support women and families in the community, and inspire other women to find the courage to pursue their own dreams. Her journey is a reminder that leadership begins with believing in oneself and having the strength to turn a vision into reality.

𝐇𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧:
Believe in yourself, even when the journey feels difficult. Don’t be afraid to start small, take risks, or learn from failure. Support other women, celebrate each other’s successes, and never let fear stop you from pursuing your dreams. Your voice, ideas, and determination have the power to create meaningful change. Keep going—you are capable of more than you realize.

𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 - 𝐒𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐢 𝐊𝐚𝐮𝐥

Swati is a former professor with a PhD, an immigrant, a mother, a creative entrepreneur, and now the co-founder of Cahn Studios. Her journey has been one of reinvention—moving from a life in which her identity was tied to titles, teaching, and achievement to a period when she felt unseen and unsure of her place after immigrating and stepping away from her career.

Her failures were often quiet: losing confidence, comparing herself to others, feeling behind, and waiting for the “right” time to begin again. But through small creative experiments, AI storytelling, and the courage to share her work, she slowly rebuilt her voice and purpose.

Today, she leads with both strategy and heart. Building Cahn Studios has taught her that leadership is not about having all the answers or following a perfect path. It is about remaining resilient in uncertainty, creating space for others, listening deeply, and continuing to build even before the world validates her vision.

Her greatest growth has come from learning that her worth is not defined by a title, a degree, or external success. Instead, it comes from the courage to begin again, trust her voice, and lead with humanity in a rapidly changing world.

𝐇𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧:
To every woman finding her way through a season of change: you are not behind, and you are not lost.
Your worth is not measured by a title, a job, or how quickly your life comes together.
The quiet, messy middle may be shaping strengths you cannot yet see.
Start with the small thing that makes you feel alive, and let it lead you forward.
You do not need permission to begin again.
Your voice, your dreams, and your becoming are already worthy.

Celebrating Service, Compassion & Community 💛
The AmPowering team is grateful to the BAPS community for inviting us to be part of the celebration of HH Mahant Swami Maharaj's 93rd Birthday at the Redmond Mandir.
Beyond the beautiful celebrations, what stayed with us were the stories of humility, compassion, and a lifetime dedicated to serving others. They reminded us that making a difference does not always start with something big. It starts with how we treat people, how we show up for our communities, and how willing we are to put others before ourselves.
As we left, many of us found ourselves asking: What would our families, workplaces, and communities look like if we all chose kindness, patience, and service a little more often? Even a single day lived with those values could create a ripple effect far beyond what we imagine.
The experience was a powerful reminder that true leadership is not about titles or recognition. It is about lifting others up, serving with sincerity, and inspiring positive change through our actions.
We are especially grateful to the BAPS community for their generous donation to AmPowering. Beyond the financial support, this contribution reflects a shared commitment to uplifting and strengthening our community. Thank you for your trust, generosity, and belief in our mission.
Thank you to BAPS BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha for the warm welcome, meaningful experience, generous support, and the inspiration to continue building stronger, more connected communities. 🙏💛
