“As a woman, it is our responsibility to encourage each other and support, so that we can confidently rise and shine. To celebrate each other’s success, we curate exclusive content and design campaigns/strategies for Winning Stree’s, which is for a female owned brand or a product that caters to women folk at home or work. I believe, with this website and the social handles, I have given voice to all my fellow strees to share their inspiring stories and with this platform we believe to inspire each other to grow together. As a community, we have gained much strength and in a span of a year my community already has 2000+ organic members. Not only this our platform has extensively worked towards getting more and more business opportunities to our fellow strees from multiple quarters apart from being able to spread a word about their businesses themselves. The upcoming Empower Stree initiative will surely be one of its kind and true to its name, Immensely Empowering!

When women support each other magnificent things are bound to happen and WinningStree is a forum made exactly on these thoughts.

Lastly but not the least, Dr. Shanjan Raj attended the meet braving her ill health and to keep her word. Such was her commitment, grit and sense of responsibility. She created and managed Earthen Decor! It was very unlikely and sad for a friend and colleague that too so young to have succumbed to her illness and pass away and it came as a shock to the entire community. The WinningStree annual meet event Shanjan’s last meet. A firm believer of women empowerment, WinningStree salutes this firm believer and worshiper of women power!
