She started cut flower business in 2000 with literally no financial support and today, she is regarded as a founder of cut flower industry in the state.

Nusrat states – “If a girl goes out of her home for studies, it is somewhat a daily routine, but if a girl goes out for her home to run a business, the first step is to make the people understand what business she is doing; have to make them understand what an entrepreneur is.
But i would say since last 11 years many things had drastically changed. Now people are more educated towards the things. I remember i was doing a government job and i left it to start my own business. studies are very important. If you get a job in which you are satisfied then move on with it and if you don’t get a job, you should not feel low, this is not the end i would say. Kashmir is a place which is full of resources and women have the talent to utilize it to achieve greater heights in the field of business or whatever field they will opt.”
