Kobra Dastgirzada is one of the most inspirational entrepreneurs of current times in Afghanistan. Kobra started a business after she got the idea of establishing a female fitness club in 2005, but it was a new phenomenon in Afghan culture and was not welcomed; while people were unsupportive of Kobra in her idea, she resisted and finally made women fitness an accepted culture in Afghanistan.
