Introducing the Second Edition of the Women Who Build Podcast by Shreya Bakliwal.
Description
Most of you who know me, know that my niece inspired me to start Women who Build. She is a 14-year-old baker who wants to launch her bakery business and wants to learn how. And now, my listeners encourage me to keep it going (see image).
In the first edition of Women who Build, we launched >10 episodes, talked to women worldwide, and were fortunate to have been called the “Best Podcast” by a few.
Then, the second wave of COVID hit India and I took what I thought was the scariest decision of my life at the time. I quit my job and took some time off to pause and reflect. I spoke to more and more listeners and understood them better. Interestingly, during our cool-off period, we witnessed a 60% MoM growth in the number of listeners!
On a macro level, the face of women's entrepreneurship was changing. In India for example, women entrepreneurs built back better. Only 6% of women did not make shifts to their business models. It is this grit and acumen that we think is important for today’s new-age entrepreneurs.
Thus, in this second edition of Women who Build, we will enhance our conversations with 3 things, which will help our listeners improve their decision-making. ONLY 3 things -
- Intention - Why did you embark on this journey? We want to answer some of these questions for listeners to decide for themselves.
- Resilience - How do you continue growing, failing, and growing again? We want you to take the long-term lens while keeping yourself sane.
- Teams - Building the right internal team, choosing the right investors, building for customers.
So if you have any interesting women founders, investors, operators, or even customers who would enjoy being a part of the podcast, hit me up and let us together help more and more women enter the startup ecosystem!
