Lakshmi Woman Leading The Way

Empowering and skilling India's workforce through Solvix Focus.

In recent years, the role of women in business has evolved, with many now taking up leadership roles and making a significant impact in various industries. Peddu Rao Lakshmi, the founder of Solvix Focus India, serves as an inspiring example. She is from the small city of Allahabad and after marriage shifted to Hyderabad. With an impressive background in Chemistry and HR, she worked at Maruti Suzuki, received the Best Employee award, and served as the Director of Strategic HR at a CMML-3 IT company. Her passion for helping students gain skills in the pharmaceutical industry and secure top placements showcases the importance of perseverance and determination in pursuing one's aspirations.

What motivated you to create Solvix Focus India? Tell us about the company's core principles and some of its main areas of expertise.

During my professional tenure, I frequently interacted with freshers, many of whom were struggling with unemployment. In some families, it was even considered taboo for women to pursue jobs. Witnessing this societal issue firsthand motivated me to take action, and in 2009, I embarked on a journey to combat unemployment by establishing a small proprietary company. Three years later, the company transformed into a private limited entity. This was especially challenging for me, considering that even within my own family, working outside the home was frowned upon.
