From Passion to Prosperity: A Journey of Determination
YesMadam, the bootstrapped at-home salon startup, has once again captured attention on LinkedIn. This time, it’s not about the brand’s services or achievements but about a remarkable individual: Gayatri Panda, the platform’s diamond-category service partner.
Hailing from West Bengal, Gayatri has achieved a milestone that has placed her on billboards across the Delhi-NCR region. She has become YesMadam’s best-performing service partner, earning ₹58,00,000 since joining the platform, completing an impressive 4,355+ services.
Achievements That Shine Bright
In 2024 alone, Gayatri earned ₹15,00,000 by delivering over 1,200 at-home salon services, with more than 1,000 loyal customers rebooking her for her exceptional work. Her success story has turned heads, including that of Mayank Arya, Co-Founder & CEO at YesMadam, who shared her achievements on LinkedIn.
The post also caught the attention of industry leaders like Rajat Gaur, Founder of The6c, who honored Gayatri’s hard work with a diamond gift—a gesture recognizing the contributions of gig economy workers who are reshaping India’s service industry.
Overcoming Challenges with Resilience
Gayatri’s journey is nothing short of inspirational. When she joined YesMadam six years ago, she faced significant challenges, from language barriers (as Hindi and English weren’t her first languages) to adapting to tech-enabled service bookings.
With the consistent support of YesMadam’s training team and her own determination, Gayatri climbed the ladder from a standard service partner to a diamond-category professional—a feat that reduced her commission rate from 20% to 12%, allowing her to earn more from her hard work.
Gayatri Speaks on Her Journey
In her own words, Gayatri shared:
“Jab mene YesMadam join kiya tha, mujhe nahi pata tha ki main itna kuch hasil kar sakti hoon. YesMadam ki training team ne mujhe bahut kuch sikhaya aur har din mere liye ek naye aage badhne ki ummeed ban gaya. Aaj jab main kehti hoon ki main khud apne ghar ke liye kamaati hoon, apni mehnat se gaadi aur sona kharida hai, aur apne bacche ko ache school bheja hai, mera dil khushi se bhar jata hai.”
Her words reflect not just financial success but a sense of pride and independence that has transformed her life.
Empowering Gig Economy Workers
Gayatri’s success isn’t just personal—it’s an example for thousands of beauty professionals across India. Her story underscores the potential of the gig economy when structured with fairness, transparency, and opportunities for growth.
Mayank Arya, Co-founder and CEO of YesMadam, commented:
“Gayatri’s journey epitomizes what we envisioned when we founded YesMadam. Her dedication and success are testaments to how determination, combined with the right opportunities, can lead to extraordinary achievements. We remain committed to creating more such success stories across India.”
Building a New Paradigm in the Beauty Industry
YesMadam’s focus on fair compensation, continuous training, and technology-enabled opportunities has redefined the beauty and wellness industry. Gayatri’s inspiring story is a shining example of the company’s mission to empower professionals and transform lives.
