Commenting on the integration, Sairee Chahal, founder SHEROES, said,
SHEROES already lends holistic support and space, both professional and personal, to its community of women through products like ShebySHEROES, MARS, AskSHEROES and its online communities on the SHEROES App. The aim is to strengthen women in their personal and professional pursuits. This acquisition will integrate with those efforts. Women Restart has been a strong community on the SHEROES app ever since we launched and having them onboard will bring deeper support via the platform.
Women Restart was born out of the challenges women face in restarting their career. It acts as a support system for women wanting to make a career comeback by helping them in developing an understanding of their own job readiness and familiarizing them with the latest trends and technologies used in the workplace. By connecting women with other professionals, the platform inspires and empowers them to confidently progress with their career goals.
“SHEROES has been building a community of women from across the country, helping them find mentorship, resources and a circle of support. It has done some stellar work by building and leading this category. This integration will allow us to leverage their vast network and reach out to a broader section of women seeking growth. We look forward to working under the SHEROES aegis and make a bigger impact,” said Sheetal Arora Founder of Women Restart.
With over a million women served till date, SHEROES aims to emerge as the world’s most transformative women’s social product. With a vision to impact the lives of 100 million women in the next 10 years, SHEROES has been working towards putting the growth of women on the nation-building map and reducing gender disparity.
