It is a busy day at the WE Hub (Women Entrepreneurs Hub) office in the premises of Dr BR Ambedkar Open University in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. Serving as Telangana’s incubator for women entrepreneurs, WE Hub has a co-working space, a play area for children and a nursing room for mothers. The lounge of the 12,000-square feet office offers a beautiful view of the Durgam Cheruvu Cable bridge. A Bathukamma painting by artist Chandra Ananthuni which hangs on the wall along a staircase reflects the culture and traditions of the State. “We started our journey in 2018 in a 6X4 square feetroom with six chairs,” recalls Deepthi Ravula, CEO of WE Hub They moved to the Jubilee Hills office in 2019 in the hopes that an inclusive physical space would encourage more women to reach out with their entrepreneurial dreams. “We wanted to shatter the myth about State-led facilities and encourage women from across the country to feel it as their space and a place they want to work with,” Deepthi adds.More Related News
