Today we’d like to introduce you to Shubha Sridhar.
Shubha, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Helping others has always been at the core of who I am. No matter where I’ve lived—whether in a different country or state, if an opportunity to support someone presents itself, I embrace it, even if it’s beyond my immediate ability. I find deep happiness and fulfillment in being of service, and that drive is what led me to create the Shakti Foundation for Women.
I started Shakti with a vision: to build a broad, inclusive platform that uplifts local entrepreneurs, undiscovered talents, and small nonprofit organizations that often go unnoticed. Many people in our community offer their time and skills voluntarily, and I felt strongly that they deserved recognition and support. Shakti was born to be that connector from point A to point B for anyone seeking opportunity, visibility, or collaboration. Our mission quickly expanded to include fundraising events, career development, financial literacy, mental health awareness, and more. We’ve become a bridge between nonprofits, volunteers, and professionals creating a network where women can grow, learn, and thrive together.
When I began this journey, I was alone, and yet today, I’m proud to say that 19 passionate individuals stand behind Shakti, working tirelessly to spread awareness and extend our reach. We want people to know that if they ever need help, Shakti is here—a home they can turn to.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Starting and running the Shakti Foundation for Women has been anything but smooth or easy. Like any meaningful mission, it came with its share of obstacles, moments of uncertainty, limited resources, and the constant need to prove the value of what we were building. I’ve always believed that challenges are powerful teachers; they not only help you grow, but also equip you to guide others who may be walking a similar path.
There were times when I had to push my limits, navigate unfamiliarity, and build connections from nothing, but not once can I say I was ever truly alone. My Kannada community, friends, and family stood by me with tremendous support in this journey. Our sponsors, who believed in Shakti’s vision from the very beginning, joined hands with us and helped turn ideas into impact.
Every setback became a stepping stone with so many people backing me up. Today, Shakti isn’t just an organization—it’s a movement powered by resilience, collaboration, and the belief that when women rise, communities rise with them.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am a passionate and trusted real estate professional based in Austin, Texas, known for my deep commitment to helping families and individuals find not just houses, but homes. With years of experience navigating the dynamic Central Texas market, I specialize in residential real estate, with a particular focus on first-time homebuyers, relocation clients, and investment properties.
It’s not just about transactions, it’s about relationships. I am someone who listens deeply, advocates fiercely, and goes above and beyond to ensure every detail is handled with care. Whether it’s guiding someone through the complexities of buying their first home or helping a family relocate across the country, I aim to bring clarity, warmth, and expertise to every step of the process.
I am proud of my ability to bridge cultural gaps and support my clients from diverse backgrounds. My work often extends beyond real estate, like connecting newcomers to local resources, schools, and other community networks. This holistic support is a reflection of my broader mission through the Shakti Foundation for Women, where we empower others through education, opportunity, and connection. My reputation is built on integrity, responsiveness, and results.
My strong ties to the community, combined with my market knowledge and tireless work ethic, make me a standout in the industry. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply exploring your options, Shubha Sridhar is the kind of agent who makes you feel confident, informed, and genuinely cared for.
How do you think about happiness?
Helping others isn’t just something I do, it’s where I find my deepest joy. Whether it’s offering guidance, creating opportunities, or simply bringing a smile to someone’s face, I flourish on making a difference.
My journey is defined by a blend of creativity, compassion, and purpose, and I try to bring that energy into everything I touch. My belief that every act of kindness ripples outward into all the communities I interact with.
I embody uniqueness and creativity in every initiative, always looking for new ways to uplift others. My ability to see potential where others see obstacles, and my commitment to lifting others as I climb, make me a true force for good.
