What is BossLADIES Accelerator
Not a course. A transformation.
An 8-week intensive where 15 women entrepreneurs go from "running a business" to building a business that runs with them. Every session is live, every framework is India-specific, and every outcome is measurable.

Program Model
Online-first. Offline where it matters.
Built for women running real businesses — not women who can pause their lives for 8 weeks. The online model is rigorous. The offline moments are transformative.
Online Sessions (Weekly)
2 live Zoom sessions per week — Tuesday evenings (8–9:30 PM) and Saturday mornings (10–11:30 AM). All sessions recorded and available for 48 hours.
- Live teaching + Q&A with Himja or guest experts
- Breakout rooms with your cohort peers
- Weekly homework & implementation tasks
- Dedicated WhatsApp cohort group — 24/7 support
- Weekly accountability check-in on Sunday evening
- Access to all session recordings + resources
2 Offline Touchpoints
Two in-person sessions where the real magic happens — human connection, peer trust, and a live pitch in front of an audience that matters.
- Week 1 — Kickoff Day (Chandigarh): In-person cohort intro, brand audit workshop, goal-setting, peer contract signing
- Week 8 — Pitch Day: Each founder presents their Scale Plan to mentors, potential investors, and key BossLADIES partners. Certificate presentation.
- Venue, lunch, and materials provided for both days
- Travel support discussed on a case-by-case basis
8-Week Curriculum

Why Join the Accelerator
The advantages of joining.
India-Specific Frameworks
Every strategy is built for Indian market realities — WhatsApp-first sales, GST-aware financials, tier 2/3 city distribution, and MSME funding landscapes.
Expert Mentorship
Direct access to Himja Rana (MADE Consultancy) and 4+ guest experts from finance, branding, digital, and sector-specific domains across the 8 weeks.
Cohort Peer Learning
15 women, carefully curated for diversity of industry and stage. Your cohort becomes your board of directors — for life, not just 8 weeks.
Accountability System
Weekly homework, Sunday check-ins, peer accountability partners, and a public Scale Plan commitment on Pitch Day. No one coasts through this program.
Certificate + Alumni Status
BossLADIES Accelerator Graduation Certificate, alumni badge on your digital member profile, and lifetime access to the BossLADIES Alumni network.
Investor + Buyer Access
Pitch Day brings in real investors, bank representatives, and potential buyers. Not a demo day formality — real conversations with real decision makers.
Investment
One price. Full access.
No hidden fees. No upsells. Everything included from Day 1 kickoff to Pitch Day certificate.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do I need to be a BossLADIES member to apply?
No — any woman entrepreneur can apply. However, BossLADIES Elite members receive a 20% discount on the program fee (₹28,000 instead of ₹35,000).
What stage of business should I be at?
The Accelerator is best suited for women who are already generating some revenue — whether ₹20,000/month or ₹5,00,000/month. It's a scaling program, not a startup validation program. If you're pre-revenue, join BossLADIES Connect first.
How many hours per week does this require?
3–4 hours of live sessions per week + 2–3 hours of implementation tasks. This is a serious commitment. If you can't dedicate 5–7 hours/week, this is not the right time for you.
Is EMI available?
Yes — we offer a 2-installment option (₹20,000 at enrollment + ₹15,000 at Week 4 start) on request. Mention this in your application or ask our team via WhatsApp.
Do I have to attend the in-person sessions?
In-person attendance for Kickoff Day and Pitch Day is strongly preferred — these are where the deepest learning and connections happen. If attendance is genuinely impossible, we work out alternatives case-by-case.
What happens if I'm not selected?
We give every rejected applicant specific feedback on why and what to work on. You're also automatically waitlisted for the next cohort. Rejection is never final — it's just not yet.
