Here's a personal note to The Beehive from Anna Marie...
In gratitude I introduce myself to all of you, I'm Anna Marie Stauss, CEO of Sinko Corp. We are a very small women owned business working with a women's Co-op that we support, and organize in the slum areas of Calcutta, India. We now work with 3 locations and 432 women but are expanding to 4 more areas and hope to provide over 630 women a dignified way to earn a living from home by January 2017.
Our products are all handcrafted out of organic cotton and jute for the home. We have a 3 prong mission: to provide flexible/low tech work for women in desperate need to earn; to provide a durable, reusable, biodegradable and organic alternatives to plastic housewares; and to reduce landfill that grows daily as we replace our household products.

Her Advice to Aspiring Female Entrepreneurs
- Think it through. When it's hard, if it's something you're not in love with, you'll walk away and then you'll fail. If you really believe in it, then you'll stick with it.
