Parama Ghosh left her safe and lucrative job as a lawyer to fulfil her dream of being a fashion designer, shutting down the naysayers. She said: "I come from a family of lawyers. I am the first one to step out of that comfort zone and do something on my own. I have always gravitated towards art, thanks to Ma who put me in a drawing school even before I started formal schooling." Parama also spoke of her in-laws' immense support in her decisions.

Singer Lopamudra Mitra reflected on her mother's influence on her life. "I grew up in a family where singing as a profession was a no. My father was against my decision to pursue singing as a career but my mother was my pillar of support. When I was in class V, I wanted to leave my school and join Multipurpose Government Girls' High School because I thought my school did not have a big enough playground. My mother had my school changed. That small incident convinced me my mother was my biggest strength."

Joita Sen, director and head of design and marketing, Senco Gold and Diamonds, shared that she always took her father as her inspiration. "My father would make it a point to share the daily, mundane goings-on at his office, at the dinner table. He would tell us the solutions to business-related problems, drawing scenarios from his business. So, there was a lot of practical learning I gathered from him. He groomed me to take care of his real estate venture, a male-dominated industry. I have got my creative side from my mother. I would also look up to the value system at home. Luckily, I got married into a progressive family which has always wanted me to join hands in their business," said Joita.
