3. Year-end is always a time for retrospection. Looking back allows us to understand
what we did correctly and where we slipped. What our readers loved and what did
not click with them. Of the 255 pieces we published in 2021, some stand out for
being hugely inspirational while some others ended up giving business ideas to our
readers.
30 Stades’ stories often bring out the hidden gems from across India – heritage
monuments, culinary heritage, crafts, performing and visual arts and artisans,
farmers, social enterprises, women entrepreneurs, environment warriors, NGOs
and more.
“But our ten most-read pieces underline one trend
that is a clear winner among our readers – stories
of women entrepreneurs who defied all odds to
succeed in their chosen fields.”
4. Not surprisingly, five out of our top 10 stories of 2021 document the journey of
women entrepreneurs. They are from Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Tamil Nadu
and Karnataka. Their stories highlight the potential of not only women,
entrepreneurship and home businesses, but also the belief in passion and hard
work.
“Our Money section carried a piece on value-for-money
small-cap stocks for investment. Given the robust research
behind it, the listed stocks continue to do well even today,
just like the story.”
