Manju Modak, a previous participant, said of the program:

“The workshop covered all aspects to start a business, empowered us with the knowledge which we need to grow and practice to build our company. I liked every aspect of the program, [especially] Christine’s and Mai’s support and their knowledge they imparted along with rest of the instructors/professionals who [were] part of many sessions. I felt proud to be part of our wonderful women entrepreneurs team, [made] new connections and [gained] inspiration to do something good for us as well as for the society. A win-win journey.”
