Revathi Roy is globally recognised as ‘a cab lady who has been transforming the lives of thousands of underprivileged urban women in India !'
Revathi was a 45-year-old housewife with three young children when her husband slipped into a coma in 2004. After two years of anxiety and mounting medical bills, he succumbed to his illness. “I didn’t even have money to buy food,” she says matter-of-factly.
Having taken many loans from friends whom she could not pay back she landed in jail and when she came out nobody would give her, a felon a job.
Instead of wallowing in self-pity, Revathi's time in Byculla jail helped her to understand the needs of a woman who's dignity and self worth have been stripped away and this inspired her to pick up the pieces of her broken life and started rebuilding and turned her one skill driving, into a business and work towards empowering urban poor women.

On one wall of Revathi Roy’s crowded cabin hangs an amateurish portrait of author JK Rowling. The words painted alongside-in block capitals-are telling: ‘Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life’.
“My son gifted this to me,” says Roy with a smile, adjusting her dark-rimmed glasses to read the quote aloud. “He told me, ‘This is exactly how your life has been’.”
