Sapna Shah
Co-Founder
Onroad Driving School
Leadership is a quality that Sapna has embodied from the very beginning. Since she Co-founded Onroad Driving School in 2008, the business has grown into a Sydney wide operation and employs 28 Instructors. Sapna's vision for the business was to employ a large quota of female instructors. Known as a male-dominated industry, Sapna wanted to turn this around and begin this change with her business. Being a woman, this vision was important to Sapna to encourage other Driving Schools to do the same and empower women.
