Meet the SHEROES - Ami Savla

Have you ever dreamt of a system wherein you can exchance the books lying in your house for something else you could use? The Barter system died down a long time ago but with Xchange-it you can still make use of the concept. Ami Savla, our Shero today wanted to promote to concept of collaborative consumption and that's how the idea of Xchange-it came about. 

Money does make the world go round after all, but in some cases maybe it doesn't! Let's see what she has to share with us today!

What is the focus of your Venture?
My vision with XChange-it is to develop a cashless trading platform where people could exchange Books, Goods, Skills & Services the Barter Way and thus promote the concept of collaborative consumption.

How is this initiative unique in your own words?
The key principle of our business is distinctive from others as we consider that each person has a skill, ability, service or intellect to share with all of us and we hope in such inflationary times, our cashless trading platform helps each of us in our own distinctive way.

How did the idea to start this venture come about?
XChange-it is an outcome of a dream I had envisioned when I was working as an HR Professional in an IT company. Striving hard to revolutionize the business world with my solitary ideas and transform my dreams into reality, I quit my job to give full time to this project and thus came up with one-off sapling ‘XChange-it, Bond over Barter' that introduces a cashless trading platform in the merchandising system of the country.

What are the challenges you have to overcome to be successful in this line of work?
The biggest challenge through our journey was to gain people’s trust with the quality of our venture as it doesn’t involve money, as in today’s time quality is measured with a price.

But with our determination and constructive efforts, we have gradually succeeded in overcoming it and now people are accepting our intention of establishing a friendly community barter way through relationship building.

What are the words of advice that you choose to live by?
All that I need to say to the young and enthusiastic women out there is that if you are passionate, just follow your instinct, dedicate your time and soul for what you love and you will be an achiever!

I believe in giving back to the society not when I am 50 years old but right now gradually giving it back at every stage as I move ahead in this journey of life.
