Vanshika Goenka is the Founder and CEO of Kool Kanya, a social networking community to support and help women grow in their professional journey.
She was determined to build a space where women can receive everything – from mentorship, help in navigating legal and financial challenges, and finding new opportunities under one roof. With Bachelor’s in Political Science from Brown University, she realised her dream by founding Kool Kanya in January 2019.
She realised the gap between opportunities presented to men and women early in her life as her family members and relatives did not count on daughters to carry their family businesses forward. However, it was years later when she was working at a company that manufactures sanitary pad that prompted her to act on the lack of women in the workforce. The entrepreneur noted that a room full of men were discussing feminine hygiene products, and that’s why she launched herself on the journey of starting Kool Kanya.
