“Inspire Me” is the latest entrepreneurship programme introduced to create the ultimate support system for emerging female entrepreneurs across Sri Lanka who demonstrate commendable resilience under pressure. The initiative is a YouTube channel that was launched in July 2020 by Inspire Me Founder/CEO Nayanika Wijekoon, to bring emerging female entrepreneurs into the spotlight and echo their story to inspire the next generation of female entrepreneurs. The programme interviews female entrepreneurs with home-based businesses to discuss how their ventures were nurtured to the current state. Inspire Me has been gaining momentum on YouTube since its launch, and the Inspire Me team envisions to feature/interview more female entrepreneurs in the future from across Sri Lanka, and potentially even invite male entrepreneurs to join. Talking to us about what the interviews entail, Wijekoon explained that the interview shed the spotlight on challenges faced by these entrepreneurs, and more importantly, how they drove their way towards success.
