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!

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
