SparkOn.org Founder Rashmi Baya on NRI Life, Career Shift & Launching a Business in Netherlands

Rashmi’s journey as an NRI began in Japan, where she initially encountered challenges continuing her banking career due to the language barrier.

Undeterred, she chose the challenging path of switching her career, opting to teach English. As she relocated to Singapore, Rashmi re-entered the banking sector. However, she still felt unfulfilled, and realized she is no longer interested in this field. Hence, Rashmi took a bold step, leaving her job to follow her passion. This led to her engaging in social projects, volunteer work, aiding women and children in shelters and alongside also pursuing a degree in psychology and counselling.

The trajectory of Rashmi’s life took an unexpected turn when her mother, unfortunately, became wheelchair-bound and grappled with loneliness and melancholy.

As Rashmi and her sister searched for ways to keep their mother busy, Rashmi conceived the idea of SparkOn. SparkOn emerged from a simple yet powerful idea – the power of forming connections through the sharing of knowledge, purpose, and joy. It offers a platform for learning various skills through live interactions, both in-person and online.

The courses offered are not only affordable but also incorporate face-to-face interactions, enhancing accountability and engagement. The core mission of SparkOn is to build an inclusive community, breaking down barriers of age, background, and experience.

As our conversation continues, Rashmi shares real-life examples of individuals whose lives have undergone remarkable transformations through their engagement with SparkOn.

These stories highlight the positive impact the platform has had on people from different walks of life. Exploring Rashmi’s journey and the origins of SparkOn.org reveals a story of resilience, compassion, and entrepreneurial spirit. It’s not just about a career shift or creating a platform; it’s about making meaningful connections across borders. Her journey showcases resilience, compassion, and an unwavering entrepreneurial spirit.

Rashmi’s story is an inspiration for those considering career changes, seeking purpose, and wanting to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
