    Ladies Who Lead launches Venture Vault for open, actionable learning

    MUMBAI: Ladies Who Lead, the exclusive women-led network founded by Aabha Bakaya and Aditya Ghosh, has officially launched Venture Vault an open-to-all, immersive learning platform designed to equip professionals with real-world business insights.

    Previously available only to members, Venture Vault is now accessible to all genders, welcoming founders, freelancers, consultants, and corporate leaders alike. The initiative is built to bridge critical knowledge gaps in strategy, scaling, and leadership through practical, high-impact sessions.

    The first public edition of Venture Vault kicked off in Mumbai, drawing a crowd of over 250 attendees — from CXOs to startup founders. The event featured a star-studded panel including Ghosh, (Akasa Air CEO) Vinay Dube, (Bombay Shaving Company founder) Shantanu Deshpande, (Humans of Bombay founder) Karishma Mehta, and (Blume Ventures) Karthik B. Reddy among others. The sessions tackled early-stage funding, execution challenges, and customer acquisition strategies.

    “We believe that true leadership is nurtured when insights are shared and opportunities are made accessible to everyone,” said Ladies Who Lead founder Bakaya.

    “This platform is our commitment to fostering a future where diverse voices and bold ideas drive innovation.”

    Co-founder Ghosh added, “Following successful pilot runs, we are now introducing Venture Vault to non-members as a pan-India platform to foster knowledge sharing and networking.”

    What sets Venture Vault apart is its focus on actionable learning. Rather than traditional theory-heavy formats, the sessions are designed to offer real-time strategies and conclude with live Q&As, allowing participants to engage directly with business icons.  

    The launch marks the beginning of a multi-city rollout, with upcoming editions set for New Delhi and Bangalore. By integrating digital media, expert-led panels, and interactive formats, Venture Vault is positioned to redefine entrepreneurial education in India.

    With this move, Ladies Who Lead signals its intent to build an inclusive, future-ready professional ecosystem, empowering individuals across sectors to learn, connect, and grow together.
