Took a Career Break? You're Not Alone
Life happens. Sometimes, you need to step away from work, for family, health, or personal reasons. But getting back in? That's the hard part. The job market moves on, skills get rusty, and self-doubt creeps in.
For many women, traditional office jobs don't offer the flexibility they need. That's where remote work changes the game. Meet Shruti, Abhila, and Mehala - three incredible women who restarted their careers with MARS. And then there’s Anshika, for whom remote work meant she could be the caregiver to her young school-going brother right from the beginning.
Each had a different reason for working from home, but they all share one thing: they rebuilt their careers, their confidence, and their independence. Their stories prove that career gaps don't define you, your determination does.
Shruti's Story: Finding a Supportive Community
"Whoever I meet at SHEROES, they are good human beings." says Shruti with a twinkle in her eye. Shruti had built an impressive career with brands like Myntra and Flipkart. But she needed flexibility without sacrificing financial independence. That's when she found MARS.
"Here, I got to know what remote work actually means." Today, as a Content QC at Leverage Edu, she's not just earning, she's growing. "I can work from home, take care of my mom, and still build my career."
But for Shruti, working with MARS is more than just a job, it's a support system. "Pallavy Ma'am and Vedika are always dependable," she says. The community at MARS doesn't just provide opportunities; it fosters confidence, skill development, and genuine connections.

Mehala's Story: Stability and Inspiration for the Next Generation
Mehala, from Coimbatore, had a decade-long career before personal circumstances forced a break. Her husband's job required frequent relocations, making office work impossible. After moving to her mother's village, she struggled to find remote work due to connectivity issues.
But she never gave up. She stayed in touch with the MARS recruitment team, who eventually matched her with the right role at Sellamate AI. "For a working woman, suddenly being unemployed is stressful. MARS gave me the chance to work with a structured company, ensuring stability and peace of mind."
Beyond financial independence, Mehala found purpose. "A daughter watches her mother. Seeing me work, she learns the importance of standing on her own feet. It motivates me to push forward every day, knowing I'm setting an example of strength and resilience. When she sees me working, she understands the value of financial independence. I want her to grow up watching an independent woman."
Genuine work-from-home jobs are rare, but MARS provides structured, corporate-backed roles with timely payments and professional growth. Mehala is grateful she found this opportunity, and she encourages other women to apply to MARS without a doubt.

Anshika's Story: Building a Career from Home
Anshika Chopra's journey with MARS proves that remote work isn't just an alternative—it's a real career path. From Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh, Anshika started working while still in college, balancing studies with financial responsibilities. After losing her father, she became the primary support for her mother and younger brother.
"I was in search of work-from-home opportunities because I couldn't leave my brother alone at home."
She struggled to find a legitimate remote job, until she found MARS. Over the past two and a half years, she has worked on projects with Coffee.io, The Sleep Company, and Delhivery.
The biggest advantage? "We are only females here, so we get the best support. We can share any kind of problem, which we usually cannot share with men."
Anshika says "It feels great to get a white collar remote job because I can support my family, I can pay my brother's school fees and help my mom with household expenses."
Unlike many work-from-home platforms on the Internet, MARS provided her with a reliable platform, backed by structured processes, verified opportunities, and a strong support team ensuring timely payments and career growth. "I have even recommended it to my neighbors," adds Anshika
More than just a paycheck, remote work has given Anshika the flexibility to be present for her family. "The best thing is that I can be there when my brother comes home from school, give him lunch properly, and still manage my work."
Her advice to women looking for genuine remote jobs? "This is a great platform. Whenever I needed work, I just reached out to Vedika Ma'am or Shruti Ma'am, and they always supported me. I never had to look elsewhere."
