Swati Goswami
Founder @ iPlayRuff & Meowwlicious
Timeline
Life Beyond Entrepreneurship: My journey also took me beyond entrepreneurship. After being crowned Mrs. Universe – Tourism, I travelled extensively, exploring over 40 countries and immersing myself in diverse cultures and experiences. These global interactions broadened my perspective and strengthened my belief that growth begins outside one’s comfort zone.
Encouraged by people who connected with my story, I entered the world of content creation. Today, I consider my social media platforms a digital memoir—a space where I document my experiences in entrepreneurship, travel, lifestyle, and personal growth with authenticity, inspiring others to pursue their own unique journeys.
Biggest Challenges: Like every entrepreneurial journey, my path has been far from linear. Transitioning from the security of a corporate career to building businesses from the ground up required navigating uncertainty, financial risks, and constant learning. Breaking into unconventional industries demanded resilience, while balancing multiple roles—as an entrepreneur, traveller, content creator, and mother—required discipline, adaptability, and perseverance. Every setback became an opportunity to learn, evolve, and move forward with greater clarity.
"Founder @ iPlayRuff & Meowwlicious | Mrs. Universe – Tourism"
From Corporate Professional to Entrepreneur, Global Traveller and Digital Storyteller:
My career reflects the power of reinvention. As a software engineer from Chhattisgarh, I spent nine years building my career in the corporate sector, where I developed a strong foundation in technology, business operations, and leadership. While the stability of a corporate career offered valuable experience, my entrepreneurial ambitions inspired me to pursue a path of my own.
In 2020, I founded iPlayRuff, a brand dedicated to designing, manufacturing, and distributing premium lifestyle products for pets and pet parents. Building on my passion for creating meaningful consumer brands, I later launched Meowwlicious in 2024—India’s first dedicated sexual wellness and intimacy e-commerce platform, with the vision of making intimate wellness more accessible, informative, and stigma-free.

Top Advice
Success is rarely built overnight. Invest in learning, stay curious, and never hesitate to start small. Embrace calculated risks, remain consistent through failures, and avoid comparing your journeys with others. In an age of instant gratification, resilience, integrity, and continuous self-improvement remain the most valuable long-term investments.
Your career doesn’t have to follow a conventional path. Keep learning, stay adaptable, and don’t be afraid to reinvent yourself. Sometimes, the opportunities that transform your life begin with a single step outside your comfort zone.
