TiE Chennai, on Thursday, April 30th 2009, launched TiE Stree Shakti- a Women’s Entrepreneurship Forum for TiE women members originally started by TiE Mumbai. It was kickstarted by Namrata Sundaresan, an avid volunteer and entrepreneur at TiE Chennai, who will form a special task force for the forum.
Soon after TiE Mumbai launched the forum on March 9th, 2009, TiE Chennai, one of the 15 centres in the country followed with this Special Interest Group Forum. The Idea to start this initiative was the result of the experience of women members of TiE, as well as the startling facts uncovered by a GEM study headed by Rama Bijapurkar and Ireena Vittal. This study pointed out that about 3 lakh women across 6 cities, wanted to own a business. With so much potential remaining untapped and overlooked, TiE decided to provide these aspiring entrepreneurs the support system they’d require to either grow their existing business or to start one. Mentoring, documentation, acquiring finance, networking, are few of the many tools that will be taught to these entrepreneurs.
In the event held at Chennai, a broad range of entrepreneurial activities ranging from agriculture, manufacturing and service sectors including education were discussed. The participants shared their success stories and also brought out the fact that women entrepreneurs can significantly contribute to family and society in terms of measurable economic activities. Entrepreneurship transforms a woman by imbibing dynamism, innovation and self-confidence. For all members, who know of any women folk who might benefit from the same, kindly forward and encourage them to join. This session is open for all women entrepreneurs from all walks of life.
