SheSight and AIWB Join Hands to Support Women Entrepreneurs
On March 9, 2025, as part of the International Women’s Day celebrations, SheSight Global and Austin Indian Women in Business (AIWB) came together to recognize and support women entrepreneurs at a special event held at the Platinum Event Center in Round Rock, Texas. The event hosted the “Best Women Business Pitch Competition” and served as the platform for the Fly High Women 2025 Award for AIWB. The award recognized entrepreneurs with the best business pitch and remarkable growth story. This marked the beginning of a collaborative effort to support women entrepreneurs by offering them visibility and opportunities to showcase their ventures.
At the event, SheSight and AIWB announced their collaboration, an initiative designed to give small and micro women-led businesses more visibility and a platform to share their journey. Through this partnership, SheSight will feature AIWB entrepreneurs in the magazine, offering them opportunities to showcase their ventures through special features and coverage.
The initiative focuses on bringing forward the voices of women who are building something of their own, whether small or big, and ensuring that their work gets the recognition it deserves.
