Yashashwini Launches First Training Session to Empower Women Entrepreneurs in Gwalior

A new journey has begun for women in Gwalior who dream of starting their own businesses. Yashashwini, a Women Entrepreneurship Development Cell started by GIncube at the Gwalior Smart City Incubation Centre, has launched its first training session — and it's already making an impact.

1. A Powerful Beginning

The inaugural session held recently at the incubation center attracted over 30 enthusiastic women participants, all eager to learn the secrets of building a successful business. The energy in the room was contagious, filled with curiosity, determination, and an inspiring sense of purpose.

2. Guidance from Startup & Business Expert Ms.Prateeksha Dubey

She encouraged participants to believe in themselves, understand their goals, and take small steps towards achieving them. Her talk was full of useful tips, real-life examples, and inspiration.

3. Building a Supportive Community

Yashashwini is about more than just training; it’s about community, mentorship, and long-term growth. The session fostered a meaningful dialogue where women openly shared their ideas, dreams, and challenges. Prateeksha took the time to address their questions, making the experience interactive and highly personalized.

4. A 12-Week Journey of Empowerment

This first session marked the beginning of a 12-week training series designed to equip women with essential business knowledge and entrepreneurial confidence.
