Women Entrepreneurs India's Founder - Mahalakshmi Saravanan
2X International Award Winner | Honoured with an ISRO PSLV memento 1:200 by ISRO IPRC-Mahendragiri| TEDx speaker | Social entrepreneur

Hello everyone!
Greetings from Women Entrepreneurs India!
I’m here to share some inspiring words for all the entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship is not just about building businesses; it’s about building dreams, creating opportunities, and making a difference. I believe that every entrepreneur is a visionary, a problem-solver, and a change-maker.
As the Founder of Women Entrepreneurs India, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful and transformative the entrepreneurial journey can be. It takes courage to start something new, resilience to overcome challenges, and passion to keep moving forward. I urge you to remember this- Your ideas have the power to change the world. Every setback is a setup for a comeback. And every small step you take today is a giant leap towards your dream. Stay focused, stay determined, and stay inspired.
Surround yourself with people who uplift you, who challenge you, and who believe in your vision. Remember, the journey of entrepreneurship is not a sprint, it's a marathon. Take it one step at a time, and celebrate every milestone along the way. To all the aspiring entrepreneurs reading this, take the plunge, embrace the journey, and never give up on your dreams. The world needs more innovators, more leaders, and more dreamers—just like you. Keep dreaming, keep building, and keep inspiring. Thank you!

Testimonials
Dr.Manjula Gopal
Founder - Votano"This is a very strong message I want to share with every WEI member. I underwent a very critical issue for the past two years as I signed a bond as guarantor and I didn't know how to handle it emotionally and more legally as I had no experience with it and I could not seek help from anyone financially. The founder of WEI immediately guided me to a legal advisor who was very kind and understanding to find a solution for the same legally and am finally free from the stress and back to my healthy activities physically and mentally. Thanks to Women Entrepreneurs India and the Founder for the unconditional support."

Entrepreneur
Mrs.Parimala Lokesh"I'm writing this testimonial because, thanks to the suggestions and ideas I gained there, I've just started earning money. For someone who was feeling lost and unsure, Mrs. Mahalakshmi's ma'am inspiration was like a guiding light. Thank you for encouraging me to become an entrepreneur. I've only just begun to earn, but the seed of this success was planted by Mrs. Mahalakshmi Saravanan madam. Thank you, ma'am. My heartfelt gratitude is with you always. I especially appreciate your excellent time management. You almost always respond to my messages immediately, for which I'm very thankful. A single word from you can motivate me. I'm naturally shy, and I remember during our first conversation, I told you I was hesitant to approach people for sales conversions. You said, "If you're shy, you can't do business. Overcome your shyness, and you can achieve business success." That one sentence really pushed me. Thank you, ma'am, for that inspiring word. Thank you once again to Women Entrepreneurs India for this wonderful opportunity to express my gratitude."
