Have you ever felt like a stranger in your own hometown just because of a language barrier?

In this episode of the Be Your Own Boss podcast, host Sachin sits down with Anusha, an accidental entrepreneur who turned her lifelong struggle with language into a thriving coaching business. Growing up in a Tamil-speaking household before moving to Maharashtra, Anusha knows firsthand the isolation of not speaking the local tongue.

She shares her incredible journey from an HR professional to a restless stay-at-home mom who, during the pandemic lockdown, launched a language coaching business in under 24 hours—with zero teaching experience. Anusha breaks down her highly practical, grammar-free approach to teaching Marathi, Hindi, English, and Tamil, and reveals her golden "dictionary hack" for expanding your vocabulary effortlessly.
