FAQ's
Ladies Who Lead is a first-of-its-kind members-only platform founded by Aabha Bakaya, where we curate exclusive events and experiences for our members to connect, network and collaborate in a premium lifestyle environment.
The idea was to build a safe space that encourages and empowers working women to create a bigger impact in their businesses, and share their success stories, mantras and guiding principles with the rest of the interactive community, thereby creating a haven of shared knowledge.
We opened membership in September 2021 to provide our members with exclusive ACCESS to our platform.
We are currently present in Mumbai, Delhi/NCR & Bengaluru.
Ladies Who Lead is an exclusive “women’s only” network, bringing together women achievers across cities.
At LWL, we don’t require our members to follow a mandatory networking curriculum. Neither do we accept members based on their financial profile. Lastly, we don’t rate our members on their level of engagement with the community.
We are an inclusive community where members attend events, with a vision to interact, empower, inspire, network and grow – both professionally and personally, under a social umbrella of curated experiences.
Once you become a member, you will get access to all our distinctively curated events where you can interact and network with other members.
On signing up, you will get added to a WhatsApp group, enabling you to communicate with fellow members, get access to the latest LWL news and alerts, receive updates on upcoming events and stay engaged with the community at large.
You will also get to avail our special brand partnership benefits from a wide selection of 40 + aspirational brands like RAAS, Taj, Olive Bar & Kitchen, Sarovar Hotels and Resorts, Massive Restaurants and more.
The offers are time bound. You will need to check at the time of renewal to see if there is any promotional offer. However, we do not carry forward the early bird offer of previous sign ups by policy.

LWL is a platform that celebrates women leaders across spectrums – individual achievers, professionals and entrepreneurs. We invite you to connect, engage and benefit from this community by growing both personally and professionally. While we do celebrate your success, we do not market your brand for you, but in turn we provide a platform for you to build connections on your own.
At a learning level, you can explore synergies, gain exposure to diverse perspectives and build thought leadership from industry leaders. Furthermore, your presence will fuel your company’s branding, visibility, association and share of mind.
Note that some of our events do have opportunities for brand integrations and partners, where we give preferential treatment to our members who wish to collaborate across our properties.
There is no mandatory attendance policy at LWL events. In case you cannot attend an event(s), it does not affect your membership status.
However, We do recommend that our members attend at least 8 events per year to maximize the benefits of their membership.
Joining LWL doesn’t come with a pre-requisite of commitments from our members. While we curate events of interest, growth and engagement, members can attend the events at their own discretion and convenience.
You are the best fit if you’re just starting out! Nothing works more than connections, network and strong word of mouth, when you are beginning to ascend the business ladder. More so, the strong credibility and experience of some of our members will only benefit you in business practice and give you unparalleled knowledge and a plethora of new ideas.
Titan members have access to all events. Should anyone have a specific query or want to meet a particular Titan member, they may feel free to reach out to us and we will connect you, basis their availability.
Your membership card is sent to you via email. If you cannot find it, please email us and the team will email your membership card to you again.
