How and when did you come up with an idea of forming WBC?

Women Business Cult is not just an idea but a feeling of empowerment. As an women entrepreneur since more than 10 years personally I went through many phases where it was very difficult to find a tribe of like minded women Business Entrepreneurs. Thus having this thought and wish of having a platform where I could find like minded, goal oriented and at the same time helpful women was always on my mind.So When I found my Co-Founder Deepika Maheshwari have the same mindset and the urge to do something for the women Business Entrepreneurs, instantly we both started working on it and here we are with a team of UNSTOPPABLE WOMEN who are goal oriented, hard working and impeccable in their business..

What is the main objective of WBC?

"Empowered Women Empower Women"There is nothing more motivating or powerful than seeing how women are launching and growing their Companies and Businesses. Our mission is to provide successful women entrepreneurs a platform to share their business stories and secret weapons to help others think big, minimize their risk and accelerate their success.

With Women Business Cult's unique approach of com-bining visual inspiration, networking, Branding, Collab-oration with Business more and more profits can be earned in every aspect. Plus by the act of Collective Growing we have become the go-to source for many successful Collaborations and Deals in Terms of Profit-able Business. Thus, we Believe that Women are the Best Inspiration to each other.

How many women entrepreneurs are a part of WBC?

Women Business Cult has many women entrepreneurs in Hyderabad and even globally. We have 2 ways by which we operate. ONLINE AND OFFLINE MEETINGS..

We have Offline group of ladies who are from hyder-abad and meet every month at our Formal Meets, Infor-mal Meets and On The Various Events we plan to give them more visibility and networking opportunities. And the other is ONLINE MEETS which connects Women entrepreneurs from Pan- India and even Globally.

Each member of women Business Cult is a contact which can generate hundreds of further contacts, thus giving a number is never possible coz each member acts as a brand ambassador for all the other members.

How is WBC helping women entrepreneurs?

For any business, it is important to get your name out there both in person and online. Joining women Busi-ness Cult will help people find you, get to know you, and build a credible relationship with you that can boost your business.

Here are 5 benefits of business networking by Women Business Cult :

1. Networking builds connections for the future. 2. Networking increases brand awareness and gets your name out there. 3. Networking establishes your expertise. 4. Networking draws referrals. 5. Networking produces ROI ( Return on Investment)

Consistency is key! Stay active and you will realize the more you put into networking, the more you will get out of it.

Ultimately, when it comes to promoting you or your business, networking and social media are powerful tools for word-of-mouth marketing. Whether online, in networking groups or at a networking event, you can build sustainable relationships with other individuals, and establish your business as a focal point of the community. And we at Women Business Cult use all these tools in order to brand you in the best possible way. We promote not only the members but their prod-ucts and services too by using all social media plat-forms too.

I learnt that we need guts but we can't always just act on them as we need evidence to back it up as well. We need to use our resources as much as we can to get validation.

10. What advice would you give to a fellow female who is trying to become an entrepreneur? I would like to advise that we should always keep learning as the most successful businesses are led by those that are consistently expanding their mindset, beliefs, experience and knowledge.

Nikita AgarwalOwner of cloud kitchen - MASALA HUB


Well, I have been a food enthusiastic all my life. Cook-ing became a passion as my two little daughters were growing up and the idea to make everyone fall in love with my specially curated dishes, which my family has loved over the years, paved the way to start MASALA HUB, and its been a great journey so far.


Any food business's USP should be the taste, and so is ours. Apart from being totally safe, fresh and hygienic, our offerings are also made using mostly organic and healthy ingredients.

3. What challenges did you come across when you first started your business?

The biggest challenge was to cater to different cus-tomers with individual menus and different tastes. Food is a very vast and wide column. To customise multiple orders according to the customer's taste on the same day is a task. Retaining the crispyness after packaging is a tough job. We are learning till date. It only means we are ready for and in process of improvement everyday.


Being true to the customers. Putting their heart in understanding what the consumer needs. Trying to innovate and bringing out something new without compromising on the 'quality' are the qualities required in any food entrepreneur. Pun intended, Haha.


MASALA HUB's primary goal is to reach out to food lovers who look for authentic dishes which are home-made and want their guests to relish new tastes and flavours when they have any occasions/get togethers at home.

Nikita AgarwalOwner of cloud kitchen - MASALA HUB


The fact is that MASALA HUB was started because of the pandemic. It's a lockdown baby. A lot of people missed going out, eating out, and that's where we came in and instantly became a crowd favorite among the circles.

7. What is your most memorable experience as an entrepreneur?

A memorable experience I would say was when we received orders from Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, Gujarat to send it to their guests in Hyderabad. It felt really surreal that the word has travelled far. A few months back I had a famous local celebrity who ordered from us,that was again an excitement for me.

8. Does being an entrepreneur affect your personal life? If yes, What do you do to balance yourself?

There is this constant fear of putting on weight cos I keep tasting and eating all what's being made, so I need to seriously balance... Jokes apart, it is an import-ant part. Working for yourself and having something of this kind, your children see you at work, involve and engage along and learn new aspects. It has positive affects only, if any!

9. What is your source of motivation in life and what have you learned from your failures?

My family, especially my parents are my biggest source of light and strength. Somedays I just feel down and my husband is there to push me up again. Failures have taught me to get up more effortlessly every time.

10. What advice would you give to a fellow female who is trying to become an entrepreneur?

Just go for it girl. May be you won't fit in at once. Try your hands. Give your full effort. Love your work and most importantly, respect your work. Just cos you are a working female, doesn't mean that your work is a backseat performer in the family. Small or big doesn't matter.

Since childhood, I’ve been very keen about business. It got a push when I was in my second semester of degree. I started my first business. Training’s, workshops and consultations were always fun. It was a wonderful experience but a bad partnership can really make work difficult. I tried more options, more businesses and more partners. None worked out for me. Left me devastated with minimal hopes and clarity on future opportunities.

I started working on my hobbies. Candle making and soap making were my most favourite. Ive always loved to create experiences. Lock down gave me enough time to explore, learn and practice more. And that’s how “Tropi-ganics” began. To a surprise, my skin are needs turned out to be trending. Most of the audience, was looking for organic and natural skin care solutions.

While I was researching, I found out more about the scary impact of chemicals on skin. And these are easily available in most drugstore products that we use in our daily life. I decided to come up with a range of products that would help in detoxification of skin.

My products also help with issues like stress, anxiety, insomnia, dead skin, blackheads, white heads, acne, pimples, chapped lips, pigmentation, tan, cracked and dry feet. They work magic for aromathera-py too which provides a natural, organic and luxury bath experience.

I am grateful to my family, friends, customers, God, well wishes, and universe for all the support. It has been a great journey.

Families started to prefer investing more in jewellery than in a big fat wedding affair as jewellery is always considered as a long term invest-ment.

7. What is your most memorable experience as an entrepre-neur?There have been many moments that continuously kept on inspiring us. However, I would like to share this most recent one that happened in July 2020, post lockdown.

7. What is your most memorable experience as an entrepreneur?Most recently, I had my first experience with featuring our jewellery at several exhibitions.

8. Does being an entrepreneur affect your personal life? If yes, What do you do to balance yourself?Work & Personal Life - they're two sides of a coin. You just gotta do what you have to, in order to balance them both.

9. What is your source of motivation in life and what have you learned from your failures?My family is my source of inspiration and motivation in life - both work and personal.

10. What advice would you give to a fellow female who is trying to become an entrepreneur?Persistence, Consistency & Absolute Dedication is what it takes. Do not stop. Just keep going forward!

When compared we are much blessed that them and we can also certainly achieve what we desire. From failures I have learned that they are not permanent. So, it is with success.

At least you will know what not to do the next time when you try something new again.
