Despite the growing popularity of startups and rising number of incubation centers in India, the participation of women in entrepreneurial ventures in India hovers at a dismal 14%.

The  lack of an adequate support group  combined with the  difficulty in accessing entrepreneurial knowledge  deter women from starting businesses on their own. A mentor can play a key role in helping a budding entrepreneur, but there are  few mentorship programs  available to help women connect with other female entrepreneurs.

Our program aims to combat this issue by creating a platform where  women can connect with other women  and  swap skills.  With WWS, you can find someone who can help you learn a new skill, whether it be baking or programming. Apart from  one-to-one sessions,  the platform will also feature  instructional videos  by mentors, so that lessons are easily accessible.

Our target demographic consists of  emerging female entrepreneurs between 18 and 30 years old  who are looking to acquire the skills necessary to run/promote their business. We focus on  India as a starting point  since despite its large economic growth rate, restrictive gender roles have led to a dearth of female entrepreneurs. There is also  a lack of programs which specifically support women entrepreneurs.  WWS aims at filling this vacuum in the market.
