A successful team is a group of hands working together as a team but with one mind!  We are fortunate that that one mind is Dr. Bhagyashree Patil, the Founder Chairperson of Rise and Shine Biotech Pvt. Ltd and Pro-Chancellor of Dr. D. Y. Patil Vidyapeeth Society, Pune.

She has donned many hats in her expansive career. She is an educationist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist known for her indomitable spirit and her penchant to work for the betterment of society.

An advocate of women empowerment, she has contributed immensely for the betterment of the lives of several women by giving them a happier and healthier life. Women’s day is celebrated on 8th March but Dr. Bhagyashree Patil firmly believes and mentions that every day is women’s day!

She often says, “Women help yourself first to help others”! According to her, financial independence is paramount. When a woman is financially independent, she has the ability to live life on her own terms. 

A woman with an invincible verve, Dr. Mrs. Patil has been instrumental in introducing a number of programs in the rural village areas of Theur and Yavat, and encourages social upliftment, especially of women. 

The quick success of Rise ‘n Shine Biotech Pvt. Ltd has given employment opportunities to a large number of women from about 10-12 villages in Maharashtra. Dr. Patil aims to assist these women and through that help their family financially. She also holds regular medical camps to ensure their well-being.

She always motivates rural women saying that a woman walking with her legs will surely reach her destination but a woman walking with her brains will take herself & her family to achieve her destiny.

Empowering women means equipping them with the tools they need to have power and control over their own lives in terms of self-strength to build efficiency in themselves. A woman has to be strong in respect of her social acceptance and education, apart from being financially independent and emotionally strong.

Dr. Bhagyashree Patil has always guided women about how to handle emotions, especially how to increase their ability to express and control emotions in the right way. Handling emotions is a delicate skill. Emotions need to be balanced in all the fields, may it be career or family.  

Through counseling, she encourages women to increase the power of their mind and to face any battle confidently. She emphasises on women building their own immunity; on being mentally and physically strong. She says, “Practice all positive affirmations continuously and it will work wonders. It’s like magic. Believe in yourself and your hard work with full determination & dedication. The secret is to try all possible ways to create a joyful energy within you. Enjoy every moment, enjoy yourself.” She says E N J O Y yourself but she means to say I N J O Y-Your joy should be like fountain from within!

Hailing from a humble farming background, Dr. Patil has always been passionate about the upliftment of the farming community. Rise ‘n Shine is the dream project of her hard work, dedication & determination. This biotechnology company is a result of her entrepreneurial skills fused with her passion for Women Empowerment, which aims at serving the farmers and growers of our country and also internationally. 

Over the past two decades, she has nurtured the company and now has a plethora of international collaborations. Rise ‘n Shine Group of Companies has been recognized  by the Progressive Search for Excellence as the first and only Indian company to be actively involved in the global floriculture breeding space. 

She has always had a holistic approach to the upliftment of the women community and hence her success story is known across the globe. Under her leadership, Rise n Shine Biotech Pvt. Ltd has nurtured a strong network of collaborative alliances with reputed global companies. They are also exporting their planting material globally to approximately 40 countries.

To spread the message “Health is Wealth”, she has organized and conducted various medical camps with special reference to geriatric care for senior citizens. One of her future projects is to open a hospital in rural areas for accessible and affordable medical care for the locals. 

She is an ardent supporter of women empowerment through knowledge. She truly believes that education can transform our country and uplift the underprivileged.
