Check out 16 Return-To-Work Programs In India For Ambitious Women Like You!
Women entrepreneurs are as ambitious and hard-working as their male counterparts. With some support, we can and will break all barriers!
Women turn entrepreneurs for many reasons; to fulfil a passion, to cater to a need in the market, to get back to work in a more flexible manner, to give back to society….
Some women turn entrepreneurs when they reject an existing career and instead, find their true passion. Some women turn entrepreneur to capitalise on the skills acquired from their work life.
For some, working on your own is a better way of balancing work-life goals. For many others, entrepreneurship is about the chance to create something innovative, unique, be the best at something, or employ others and create a positive workplace.
Whatever your reason, as entrepreneurs, we all need:
Here at Women’s Web, we have always been recording the growth story of women entrepreneurs in India, and our #BreakingBarriers to Growth workshop is meant to support you, as a woman who is an entrepreneur, or planning to be one.
While we are as ambitious and hard-working as any male entrepreneur, women still face certain unique challenges – be it our own assertiveness or risk-taking abilities, skepticism from some in the market, or work-life balance issues that still continue to bigger for women.
Therefore, we also get a special boost when we meet up and learn, together with other women reaching for the stars! For women turning to entrepreneurship after a break, it is also a great chance to create some new networks that will help your fledging business or freelance activity.
Women’s Web’s Step Above series is meant to give women at work a big boost, and we’re starting with the first event for this year, Breaking Barriers to Business Growth.
This is a “workshop-plus” format with coaching sessions and talks from inspiring women entrepreneurs who have crossed early hurdles and grown their businesses.
The coaching sessions will be led by Coach Bhavna Toor of Shenomics which works with women to achieve their leadership potential, and Raghavendra Badaskar, AVP-Consulting, Intellecap, which supports start-ups and SMEs with tested tools to scale up their businesses. Their tools include essentials such as business model creation, market sizing and validation from customers.
I believe that participants will go back with three key take-aways:
While the event is being held in Bangalore (14th March) and Mumbai (20th March), there are “virtual seats” to enable those who cannot make it in person, to watch the event from their desks (or even on their phones!)

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.
It is shameful that in today's world too, women are abused and even killed for giving birth to a girl, and the infant's life is also of no value.
Trigger Warning: This deals with domestic violence, suicide, and violence against women, and may be triggering to survivors.
I am so glad that the esteemed courts are now giving the much-required verdicts regarding certain ideologies that were not at all entertained earlier. I mean we all have studied this much biology at our school level and it is our duty (our generation) to educate our elders about it.
Why someone have to lose a life to bring such awareness to the society. Delhi High Court gave this judgement concerning a case that filed by the deceased daughter’s parents against her in-laws. She committed suicide as she was harassed and tortured for dowry and giving birth to two daughters.
