About

2011 was a lonely time for the homebased entrepreneur. There was no way to connect with each, to share stories and issues that were common to us all. However, at the same time, many businesses were cropping up on Facebook. This struck an idea of making a Facebook page for homebased business entrepreneurs. We got to work, put up a page by the name of Elan Women’s Social Club (now ElanWS), sent personal invites via inbox to many businesses and got a good number of responses. 23 ladies confirmed their presence and all 23 showed up. It was an amazing session, the first of its kind.

The idea resonated deeply with women who, like us, had felt isolated and needed a space to share, learn, and grow together. The meetups sparked valuable networking, joint ventures, and partnerships, with many women even starting new businesses after being inspired by the community.

Fast forward to 2013 when we finally decided to hold an exhibition which many had been asking for. The visitors kept flooding in and the sales kept piling up for the business owners. The event was a huge success, with women’s businesses flourishing, creating lasting relationships, new opportunities and building confidence with every sale.

From that point on, there was no looking back. We have had a multitude of networking meetups, workshops and exhibitions and plan on having many more. The future of women entrepreneurs is bright, and with each new connection, we move closer to empowering more women to step into their greatness.
