Delhi Entrepreneur Gets Disheartened Over Lack of Women At Startup Event; ‘Where Are You Guys?’

Walked in to gain new opportunities and learn more– walked out with rather unsettling observation! Taking to social media, a Delhi woman, who is also an entrepreneur, shared about a startup event that she recently attended. As per the video, her spirits were high, and the learning experience at the event was even higher. However, what left her somewhat disheartened was the blatant lack of women entrepreneurs at the event. “Where are you guys?” the woman wrote in her video’s caption, as she recalled how the event hardly had women attending it. “I could count them on my fingers, maybe five at most,” the caption read. Naturally, the woman was disheartened, as she pointed out how so many women around the country are so talented and full of ideas;

“Women are building. Women are dreaming. They just need to be seen, invited, and encouraged.”The video went viral in an instant, leaving many reacting. Most found the observation equally problematic, while some encouraged other women to follow their dreams more.Times Now could not confirm the details and the authenticity of the post.Check out the viral post: “Walked into a startup event that was genuinely good. The energy was great, the ideas were fresh, and it was good to learn about new ideas and things people are building and thinking big. But there was one thing I noticed, and I have been thinking about it since. There were very few women in the room. I could count them on my fingers, maybe five at most. Not as a complaint, just an observation that stayed with me. Everything was inspiring, except the lack of women. Where are you guys? Women are building. Women are dreaming. They just need to be seen, invited, and encouraged,” the post read. The post was shared on Instagram, by the handle ‘Divyanshi Dhouni’.
