TiE Hyderabad and World Trade Center Shamshabad join forces to empower women entrepreneurs through the TiE Women Meet & Greet networking session. The event serves as a platform to discuss and highlight the various initiatives undertaken by TiE Hyderabad to support and encourage women in their entrepreneurial endeavors.

Rashida Adenwala, the President of the TiE Hyderabad chapter, takes the stand to furnish a comprehensive outline of the TiE Women program to the passionate attendees. The program comprises two phases designed to foster growth and success for women entrepreneurs.

In phase-1, women entrepreneurs engage in a chapter-level competition where they receive valuable mentoring and participate in a pitch competition. The sessions cover essential topics such as product development, the art of storytelling, marketing, and brand building, among others. These empowering sessions equip the participants with essential skills and knowledge to excel in their entrepreneurial journeys.

The regional competition selects the top three winners, who earn the coveted opportunity to advance to phase-2. In the second phase, the ultimate winner will represent the state at the global finale, a prestigious platform that allows them to pitch their ideas to venture capitalists (VCs) worldwide and compete for an equity-free prize. This opportunity opens doors for the winners to gain global recognition and attract potential investors to support their ventures.

Namita Banka, the esteemed Founder of Banka BioLoo Ltd, shares her remarkable journey as a successful social entrepreneur during the event. Her accomplishments, including achieving an IPO in 2018 and listing her company on NSE India, serve as an inspiration to fellow women entrepreneurs. Her story highlights the potential and possibilities that exist for women in the business world.

Murali Bukkapatnam, a TiE Hyderabad Charter Member, applauds all the participants, acknowledging the bold step they have taken to become entrepreneurs. He emphasizes that being part of the program already makes them winners. Bukkapatnam acknowledges the unique challenges faced by women entrepreneurs, as they balance their business responsibilities with family commitments. He encourages the participants to utilize the expertise and guidance of mentors and the support staff of TiE Hyderabad to overcome any obstacles they may encounter along their entrepreneurial journey.

The TiE Women Meet & Greet event reinforces the commitment of TiE Hyderabad and WTC Shamshabad to empower women entrepreneurs. They aim to provide the necessary resources, support, and a collaborative community for women to thrive in the competitive business landscape. By creating a conducive environment for women-led businesses, TiE Women endeavors to cultivate success stories and drive positive change in society.

The networking session serves as a valuable platform for women entrepreneurs to connect, learn, and grow. It fosters a sense of camaraderie and mutual support, creating an ecosystem where women can thrive and excel. Through initiatives like TiE Women, TiE Hyderabad, and WTC Shamshabad contribute to bridging the gender gap in entrepreneurship and nurturing a diverse and inclusive business environment.
