Courage Talks S7E5 - Sankari Sudhar

🌟 Join us for an Inspiring Episode of Courage Talks with Sankari Sudhar! 🌟

Thrilled to announce the next guest on Courage Talks: Sankari Sudhar, the visionary Founder & CEO of Overqualified Housewives!

🚀From a small village in Tamil Nadu to a trailblazing entrepreneur, Sankari’s journey is a testament to resilience and reinvention.

A B.Tech graduate from MIT Chennai, she thrived as a software engineer in top IT firms for 8 years before taking a career break in 2020 to embrace motherhood.

Facing post-partum challenges, societal biases, and the “motherhood tax,” she refused to let her skills and ambitions be sidelined. Inspired by the untapped potential of millions of skilled women, Sankari launched Overqualified Housewives on August 15, 2022—a platform empowering women to return to work with flexible, meaningful opportunities.

Her impact?

Phenomenal:

✅ Over 34,000 women registered from across India, including Tier 2 and 3 cities.

✅ Helped 6,000+ women secure jobs with salaries from ₹8,000 to ₹80,000/month.

✅ Partnered with 600+ companies to offer roles in content, design, marketing, HR, and more.

✅ Upskilled thousands through sessions on communication and employability.

A TEDx speaker at TEDxSIST (Feb 2025), Sankari shared her insights on “Resilience: Exploring the Human Experience,” inspiring audiences with her story of turning personal challenges into a movement for women’s financial independence.

Featured on CNN-News18, YourStory, Rediff, and more, she’s breaking barriers and challenging stereotypes about women who take career breaks.

Incubated by NSRCEL at IIM Bangalore, Sankari’s bootstrapped venture broke even in just three months and continues to grow, creating a self-sustaining ecosystem where women uplift each other.

Her mission? To ensure every woman can reclaim her career, confidence, and purpose—no matter the odds.Tune in to hear Sankari’s story of courage, innovation, and impact on Courage Talks!

🎙️ She’ll share how she turned setbacks into stepping stones and why empowering “overqualified housewives” is her passion.💬
