More Than a Chat Group: How to Use the Women Listed WhatsApp Community to Grow Your Business

July 23, 2025

If you’ve joined Women Listed, you probably know about the events, the listings, and the Instagram shout-outs. But there’s one powerful feature that often gets overlooked — and it’s sitting right on your phone.

We’re talking about the Women Listed WhatsApp Entrepreneur Community — a growing network of women-led businesses from across India, actively exchanging ideas, leads, and support. This isn’t just another group chat. It’s a space where real conversations spark real opportunities.

Here’s how to use it wisely — and actually grow through it.

What Actually Happens in These Groups

The Women Listed WhatsApp groups aren't formal networking spaces. They’re ongoing conversations where entrepreneurs share immediate challenges, quick wins, and practical questions. From GST confusion and supplier searches to pricing strategies and hiring help, you’ll find women openly navigating every stage of business.

The member mix is diverse — established founders, new business owners, freelancers, and women transitioning from corporate roles. That variety means you’ll find insights across industries, from digital-first startups to product-based home businesses.

Making Your Participation Count

Simply being added to the group won’t create results. The women who benefit the most are the ones who show up intentionally.

Introduce Yourself Thoughtfully

Instead of a generic “Hi, I’m XYZ from XYZ brand,” take a moment to share your story. Tell us what you’re building, the stage you’re at, and what kind of support or collaborations you’re looking for. A clear, meaningful introduction helps others connect with your purpose and remember you when an opportunity arises.

Respect the Rhythm of the Group

Some groups have specific days for promotions, while others lean more into discussion. Always read the group guidelines before posting your business updates. Women Listed’s WhatsApp spaces are designed to give everyone a fair chance to promote, ask questions, and contribute meaningfully — so being mindful helps the entire community thrive.

Ask Questions — and Offer Help

Need a product photographer in Delhi? Looking for eco-friendly packaging vendors? Unsure how to price your first workshop? Post your question — someone in the group has likely faced a similar challenge. And when you see a question you can answer, jump in. Recommend a vendor, share a tip, or just cheer someone on. That’s how real connections are built.

From Chats to Collaborations

Some of the best partnerships on Women Listed have started right here. A product-based brand found their graphic designer through a group referral. A coach and a wellness brand co-created a campaign. Two founders, aligned in values, co-hosted a festive pop-up that boosted visibility for both.

These aren’t one-off wins. They’re proof that when women engage with purpose, growth follows.

Don’t Just Scroll — Engage

It’s easy to stay silent in WhatsApp groups. But this space works best when you treat it like part of your weekly business rhythm — just like checking emails or following up with clients. Set aside time to catch up on chats, offer support, or ask for feedback.

The next time you open the group, don’t just scroll. Say hello. Share a win. Offer a lead. Ask that question you’ve been sitting on.

And if you’re not in the group yet — just head to the Contact Us page on Women Listed and drop us a message. We’ll help you get started. Because this community is built to help you feel seen, heard, and supported — by women building something, just like you are.
