Mr, Harshit Gupta Entrepreneurs don’t aim at making a million dollar, they aim at impacting the lives of a million people. I embarked upon this journey in 2015. My mother is my inspiration along with all the domestic engineers whom we call as housewives. We initially aimed at doing something for them, but soon we realised that under the umbrella of women empowerment there are many more issues untouched and need to be resolved. So we began by conducting workshops and felt as well as discovered that education is the most powerfull tool that can bring a change in this world. Womenite aims to create an egalitarian society through education, love and empowerment. India has got the largest population of youth and if their energy is channelised in the right direction, then it’s my belief that we can fight with any issue. poles Aen hes eae CONTACT US http:/ /www.womenite.com Womenie http://twitter.com/Womenite [4] hitp://www.facebook.com/ Womenite http://www.instagram,com/Womenite http://www.youtube.com/c/Womenitee @® https://in.linkedin.com/company/womenite Harshit Gupta - 9717973658 Tamanna Gupta - 9711110318
