Editor's Note

Hello,

My name is Lata Tokhi and I am the Founder of 'Dot Com Women' as well as the editor of 'The Dot Com Woman Ezine'. I was born and raised in the beautiful city of Nagpur, India and live here with my husband, Rohit and daughter Sanika.

I launched Dot Com Women on March 8, 2003 in an effort to give something back to the loving and supportive women on the web from all over the world who assisted me in building a lucrative career.

My goal for the site is to help women use their talents to achieve the best in life – both personally and professionally.

Professional Background:
I am a Post-Graduate in Commerce. I gave up career in Finance for Graphic Design. Then on to Web Development and Web Mastership!

What I Love Most About My Job:
The ability to work from home, which allows time for family and other interests, as well as the satisfaction of helping other women.

My Biggest Supporter:
My best friend and husband Rohit Tokhi.

Personal Interests:
Reading, swimming , traveling, fitness, yoga, meditation, naturopathy & vegetarianism. I also love crafts, cooking and home décor and I am an expert in Eggless cakes and vegetarian desserts.

What keeps me going:
The road to success always has the most difficult paths. Don’t ever give up on your faith. Remember the following quote:

"Courage doesn't always roar.
Sometimes courage is the little voice at
the end of the day that says
I'll try again tomorrow."
