Empowering Women through Skill Development and Entrepreneurship

CA Sonali Saripalli

Founder & Managing Director

As Founder and Managing Director, she brings a blend of financial expertise, business understanding and a deep commitment to social impact. Her leadership is centred on creating practical pathways for women to discover their potential, strengthen their skills and turn their ideas into sustainable livelihoods. She shapes the foundation's programmes, partnerships and long-term direction, with a particular focus on entrepreneurship, financial awareness, legal compliance and livelihood development — making entrepreneurship less overwhelming and more achievable for women taking their first steps towards financial independence. Her understanding of finance and compliance bridges the gap between having a good business idea and building a business that is financially sound, legally aware and capable of growing, in a language and format that is practical and easy to apply at the grassroots.

Dr. Meetali More

Consulting organisational and counselling psychologist. Dr. Meetali focuses on empowering women to believe in themselves, strengthen their entrepreneurial mindset, create quality products and confidently take them to market. She works closely with women on understanding what holds them back from progressing or accessing opportunities. With an academic and practical background in psychology, entrepreneurship and psychographic assessment, she believes self-discovery creates the greatest impact when translated into meaningful social development. Her role also covers identifying opportunities, building collaborations and leading the outreach that expands what the foundation can offer its community.

Shrruti Patole Clarence

Co-Founder & Director

“True empowerment begins with an inside-out transformation.” A purpose-driven changemaker dedicated to advancing community projects that champion entrepreneurship development and women's empowerment. With a career spanning nearly three decades in the corporate sector and in learning and development, Shrruti brings that experience and a sharp digital sense to upskilling women entrepreneurs. As India's first-ever Mrs. Universe Confident, she has turned a personal milestone into a platform for social impact, working with marginalised women on their confidence, their personal brand and their growth. An eight-times published author, TEDx speaker, image consultant and soft skills trainer, she has coached over 7,000 women and young people. The training goes past the surface to the things that decide whether a business is taken seriously: communication, executive presence, etiquette, and building a personal and business brand. At Skilletz she brings corporate leadership, poise and entrepreneurial drive together to help build an ecosystem where women and marginalised communities can do more than survive in it.
