Greetings!
We are so excited to have hit another milestone since we reopened the ISW India Center, total paid membership in ISW has crossed 1000 members. This is both a testament to the reenergized programming - from classes, events, panels and tutoring - and the welcoming new facilities. While the hard work of the volunteers and EB has helped raise the visibility in the community, it is eventually the members that inspire us to provide the programs and events that keep you coming back.
We would like to thank all our members for their continuing support that help us achieve this milestone.
Puneet Kohli, President, India Society of Worcester

EVENT RECAPS
ISW PEN & ISW WEW Event
Nuts and Bolts of Starting a Business
This was a special event as the two initiatives (PEN & WEW) co-hosted a session on the “Nuts and Bolts of Starting a Business” on April 30th at the India Center. It was exciting to hear three strong independent women and one passionate gentleman talk about how they got started and the challenges they faced in their journey to get their venture up and running. While one of them co-founded her business with her 12-yr old daughter, another found ways of converting his passion of photographing his twin boys into a dedicated profession.
The room was packed with over 25 people and many tuning in to the Facebook Live stream as Kelly moderated the panel after Snehal and Ragoo introduced the program. Check out more details on the speakers and a link to the live stream on ISW Facebook.
