Excerpts from our exclusive interview with her:

Q1) Tell us a little bit about your start-up and your journey, please;

I Tanushree Sharma, founder of Loveactually.me started the initiative with the vision of bringing behavioral change. LoveActuallyMe is an online and offline initiative for PWD (People with disabilities) to empower, enable, and encourage the community to meet, greet, and network with like-minded able and disabled individuals. 

I started LoveActuallyMe with my best friends Krishna and Rajneesh. The seed was germinated off my mother’s illness and Rajneesh’s sister who had Cerebral Palsy. We gauged people’s behavior whenever they came across any PWDs. One day I decided to put my papers and get into the voyage.

 Q2) What was your key driving force to become an entrepreneur?

Doing something differently, I have always done things differently and left my mark. I knew that I have to do something different from what everyone else is doing. My driving force is to stand out whatever I do, I enjoy being in the driving seat and love breaking paradoxical thoughts and notions.

Q3) How did you come up with the name for your business/startup?

The name was something which we thought thick and thin and zeroed on LoveActually, but Rajneesh added Me to make it LoveActuallyMe, which stands for love me the way I am and who I am but before that, I need to love myself rather than asking for love from others.

Q4) What service(s) or product(s) do you offer/manufacture?

LoveActuallyMe is a socializing platform for able and PWDs to connect with the right set of people on a personal and professional fronts.
