Women entrepreneurs today are not short on invitations. Conferences, panels, founder meetups, women-in-business brunches — the calendar stays full. The rooms, however, are not always worth showing up to. The difference between a forgettable event and a genuinely useful one comes down to a single question: does this room actually understand what I'm building — and what it costs me to build it?
It's the question Women Listed asked when building Biz, Biryani & Bachche 2.0 — and the answer shapes everything about the event.
Not Every Room Is Built for Business
There is no shortage of events made for women. Some are beautifully hosted, genuinely fun, and socially rewarding. There is real value in those spaces — community matters, and not every gathering needs an agenda.
But there is a specific kind of founder — one who is past the early excitement, actively growing her business, and hungry for something more substantive — who walks out of those rooms a little flat. Not because the event was bad. Because it wasn't built for her. She wasn't looking for a good time. She was looking for a real conversation. About revenue, about positioning, about what it actually takes to scale. About the unglamorous, specific, sometimes exhausting work of building something serious.
That gap — between the social event and the strategic one — is exactly what Women Listed set out to close. Not by making things harder or more corporate, but by creating spaces where women-led businesses are treated as the serious, growing enterprises they are. Where a founder can talk about her business the way she thinks about it: with rigor, with ambition, and without having to simplify herself for the room. Because the most valuable thing an event can offer a growing founder isn't a goodie bag or a great venue — it's the feeling of being genuinely taken seriously.
What a High-Value Event for Women Founders Actually Delivers
The best events do three things well. They bring in panelists who have built something — not speakers who talk about building. They create structured visibility, whether through pitches, showcases, or introductions that land in the right hands. And they make space for honest exchange — the kind where a founder can say what is hard and walk away with something practical, not just a new contact. That combination is rarer than it should be.
The speakers at this Women Listed Mother's Day event aren't on stage for optics. They're there because their journeys speak directly to the women in the room.
Chef Gauri Verma, Founder of Confect, represents the creative entrepreneur who turned craft and conviction into a real brand. Surbhi Bafna, Founder & CEO of Allter, built a D2C baby care brand from her own experience of motherhood, and a refusal to settle for products she couldn't trust. Between them: honest lessons in brand-building, visibility, and growing a company while navigating every other role life assigns you.
The event also includes curated networking and Elevator Pitches — because women founders don't just need inspiration. They need to be seen.
A Women-Led Business Event Built Around Serious Growth
Women Listed has spent years making one argument with its events: women entrepreneurs don't need more rooms. They need better ones. Rooms where ambition is expected, business is the real agenda, and a founder never has to wonder whether she belongs at the table. Biz, Biryani & Bachche 2.0 is that room.
