She was 24 years young then and a complete layperson when it came to her edupreneurial venture as she is a first-gen entrepreneur and had no mentor nor a support system. She faced many challenges in her journey but these hurdles only gave her an impetus to go on. In 2013, after two years of dedicated research and planning, Dr. Vasavvi launched Inner I Foundation Pvt.

In the consecutive years, IIFPL launched other verticles-the Tender Day Cares, Early Childhood Educators Training Program, Dream Catchers ~a skill development initiative for adolescents, ReevEd Solutions an education consultancy for aspiring edupreneurs, and My Preschool at home (home-schooling).
