Chapter 8: The Distantly related Aunt

Pramila was Anveshi’s distantly related aunt, a thirty-six-year-old woman whose body was curvy at all the right places. She was from a small town in Gujarat, a traditional woman who had never married because of a scandal in her youth--she had been engaged to a man who had died tragically, and superstitious villagers had labeled her cursed. She lived alone, running a small tailoring business, her only contact with the outside world her occasional visits to her niece in Mumbai.

Anveshi had always been close to Pramila. The older woman had been more of a mother to her than her own, always supportive, always loving. And when Anveshi learned that Pramila was in trouble, she immediately turned to Sanju for help.

Pramila’s tailoring business was failing. A large corporation had opened a chain of retail stores in her town, undercutting her prices and driving her customers away. She was facing bankruptcy, the loss of her home, and a future of poverty.

Sanju listened to Anveshi’s plea and didn’t hesitate. He had more money than he could ever spend. He could fix this.

What followed was a masterclass in ethical intervention. Sanju didn’t just give Pramila money--that would have been insulting to a proud, independent woman. Instead, he used his tech genius to create an online platform for artisans and tailors, connecting them with customers worldwide. He made Pramila the face of the platform, highlighting her story and her skill. Orders flooded in--not just from India, but from America, Europe, the Middle East. Her business not only survived; it thrived.
