Product/Services Offered
I am Shilpa Venkat, Founder, WOW Women Of Wonder Group, Pune. WOW is a unique women's group which has facilitated so many Stay at Home Mothers (SAHM) to start small businesses from home. These ladies had to leave their thriving careers because of family responsibilities. The urge to keep doing something on their own has made them small time successful entrepreneurs. WOW Group is a very unique and biggest women's business group on Telegram messenger app in Pune. This is an exclusive BUYER - SELLER women's group. The group was created in 2015. Apart from business the group is super helpful and informative too. Daily business happens in the group, and women are actually getting regular and consistent business orders. I have shown utmost dedication in the last 5 years and currently WOW has 2000+ women members from all over Pune on Telegram and growing each day. The group has motivated many women to start small businesses from home and given confidence to many women to start something small on their own. WOW Group has ladies from all fields (as service providers) and we have equal number of ladies who have joined the group to just avail the amazing services. This is a forum and a great platform wherein daily business happens through the group. I also organize exclusive flea markets for WOW. Till now 15 successful flea events have been conducted.
I always want to keep myself productive and I love taking up new challenges. My constant urge to keep learning new things. Apart from WOW Group, I am also a successful Freelance child photographer.
I have always been a person who loves to learn and have had mental courage to take up new challenges. Initially, I started WOW on Whatsapp in 2015 with just 12 members. I got an idea of making WOW an exclusive Buyer and Seller Group, a one stop place for all your needs on a messenger app. Over the year, the group reached the 250 member limit on Whatsapp and that's when I shifted the entire group on Telegram. It has been a roller coaster ride as convincing people to join WOW on Telegram. But I always had a strong gut that WOW is a right idea to connect Buyers and Sellers.
I love the fact that my mind is full of ideas.
I have become more confident. Being the Founder of WOW, I get an opportunity to interact with many people. It's more about people management. Managing a 2000+ women's business group needs lot of patience and dexterity. I have learnt to handle various kinds of people.
The most unique factor of WOW Group is that it runs on a messenger app Telegram. Way back in 2016, Telegram was a lesser known app. Yet I took this as a challenge and have been constantly promoting the group. Why Telegram because business is super fast in the group. There's instant one-to-one communication between Buyer and Seller in a messenger app.
Positive attitude, willpower and trying to find a solution with a calmer approach.
Nothing that I can think of !!
I am a super efficient Multi-tasker. I manage my work and Homefront responsibilities with proper time management and multi-tasking.
Patience is the key. A person starting their own business expects orders to start flowing in from day one! Well, that does not happen. Keep on promoting your business and be ready to put in lot of hard work. Stop comparing your products with competitors and only focus on your service, quality and customer satisfaction.
