Leap.club soon to launch their 'First Physical Club for Women' in Mumbai
The professional networking platform for women Leap.club is going to launch its first physical space in Mumbai by next month. During, 2020, the former executive of Zomato, Ragini Das and Anand Sinha, commenced this professional network for rising women leaders.
Over the past four years the platform has exceptionally grown with attaining a remarkable height with over 25,000 paid members on its platform. It has become a strong networking tool among mid- and senior-level women in the workforce, offering a plethora of online and offline activities and events.
Now, they are endeavoring towards their new journey of constructing their first offline club on July 10–a physical space in Bandra, Mumbai. The startup is expecting that they will imitate this same model with more clubs in Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru.
The Co-founder, leap.club, Ragini Das, commented, “Over the last two years of participating in various events, we have discovered that face-to-face interactions have significantly increased. This realization inspired us to create a dedicated space where we can channel all the energy and enthusiasm we have experienced.”
She also mentioned that, they have the idea of physical club from the beginning , but the pandemic compelled them to take backstep and they had to run it on online mode instead. But once the pandemic is one, and women thronged to their events, the idea of creating a safe physical space for women began to gain momentum. The founder duo hopes that, they will start the club with 1500 women.
She also explained, “We realised women needed places to meet other women, they needed things to happen at these places, a place to work out of, a space to record content or do podcasts. We initially thought of launching it in Gurugram, but chose Mumbai because of the vibe and strength of the community in the city.”
Ragini also informed that, 100 women have already paid the annual membership fees of Rs 30,000 without even seeing the place. Another 100 members will be onboarded for August. There are over 2,000 women on the waitlist; the aim is to onboard 100 women into the club, every month for the first year.
