The occasion was made more significant for all the women as WEFT launched its app ‘Womentastic’ – is a digital platform for women entrepreneurs to connect, network with each other, talk freely and opinionate and find solutions to their problems.
The fact that women entrepreneurs face numerous challenges in every field in different ways, thus WEFT Foundation began as an initiative to facilitate women with their entrepreneurial dreams. And the launch of the APP, is an extension and taking the efforts to another level by providing women a common platform to gain instant access and visibility. Womentastic -the app fulfils the fundamental need of women entrepreneurs – to reach and connect. Womentastic which has been founded by Iti Rawat, Sanjay Kaul, and Gaurav Raheja was received with an amazing response even before its launch and several women downloaded the App at the launch event itself. The event was attended by dignitaries like the App’s Founders, along with Rekha Sharma, Dipika Trehan, Aparna Vedapuri Singh, Alina Alam, Vandana Suri, Anisha Singh
Ms. Iti Rawat, Founder of Weft Foundation commented on the event and the Womentastic app, “it is been an overwhelming to see the wonderful reponse at the successful launch of the event and the support from the community for the app. Womentastic is the result of our belief that women already have the innate capacity and skill to succeed as entrepreneurs, and giving them a digital platform like Womentastic will further enhance their entrepreneurial skills and facilitate mutual support among them. Networking is an essential aspect of being an entrepreneur, and our app makes it easier than ever. Imagine being able to acquire funding with a single click of a button, or finding legal, health, counseling at different levels and other help by just submitting your query to the relevant group. Womentastic has everything a woman entrepreneur might want, from careers to business opportunities, and more. Our motto is ‘stronger together’, as we believe that women supporting each other is the best way to promote women’s empowerment.”
