Do women entrepreneurs face investor bias when it comes to raising funds to grow the business? Neha Behani, the co-Founder of Moojic shares her experiences.
Do women entrepreneurs in India face a subtle bias as far as investment and funding is concerned? Neha Behani, the co-Founder of Moojic shares her thoughts.
Neha Behani is Co-Founder of Moojic, an innovative in-store radio service for retail stores. They offer a customisable radio platform that can easily manage your radio network across any number of stores.
Moojic has been been recognised as one of the hottest, fast-growing start-ups in the Indian tech industry; however, it certainly wasn’t a piece of cake achieving this growth.
Moojic needed investor funding to scale up, i.e take the service across a large number of users; with complete belief in what they were doing, and a clear business plan to show investors how they would make money, Neha and her co-Founders managed to raise the funding that they needed.
In this video, Neha talks about the apprehensions that (some) investors have about women entrepreneurs, especially that familial responsibilities will impede the start-up’s growth. How did they deal with such apprehensions? Watch and find out!
Neha Behani was one of our inspiring speakers at our last #BreakingBarriers workshop for women entrepreneurs. Come and join us on September 12th, Mumbai for the next session, Breaking Barriers To Growth: The Money Edition to attend a hands-on workshop and listen to more such inspiring entrepreneurs who have made it!
Whether you are just starting a business, or have been an entrepreneur for some time and want to grow further, #BreakingBarriers is the place to network with fellow entrepreneurs as well as experts to help you grow!

People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
14 years after her last feature film Dhobi Ghat, storyteller extraordinaire comes up with her new film, Laapataa Ladies, a must watch.
*Some spoilers alert*
Every religion around the world dictates terms to women. The onus is always on women to be ‘modest’ and cover their faces and bodies so men can’t be “tempted”, rather than on men to keep their eyes where they belong and behave like civilized beings. So much so that even rape has been excused on the grounds of women eating chowmein or ‘men will be men’. I think the best Hindi movie retort to this unwanted advice on ‘akeli ladki khuli tijori ki tarah hoti hai’ (an alone woman is like an open jewellery box) came from Geet in Jab We Met – Kya aap gyan dene ke paise lete hain kyonki chillar nahin hain mere paas.
The premise of Laapataa Ladies is beautifully simple – two brides clad in the ghunghat that covers their identity get mixed up on a train. Within this Russian Doll, you get a comedy of errors, a story of getting lost, a commentary on patriarchy’s attitude towards women, a mystery, and a tale of finding oneself, all in one. Done with a mostly light touch that has you laughing and nodding along.
