I moved to Austin area in the middle of the pandemic without knowing anyone in the city. As a single woman, I felt a bit alone and lost. But then I found IDIA and was introduced to women who uplift, encourage, and inspire other women. It's given me a sense of community that I never dreamed of having before. I look forward to meeting more of the women and going to the events. Very thankful for the IDIA team and their organization. Their mission is one that everyone women should be proud to be a part of!

If I ever need advice/help/recommendations, the info I get from IDIA members is always the most accurate and dependable.
Highly recommend this group to women based in TX.

IDIA is an excellent group by women for women. I truly appreciate their work. The tremendous amount of information that share with women is mind-blowing. Personally they helped my business reach out to a huge crowd which was a humongous task for me. I sincerely pray for them to receive immense support and energy to continue this awesome work for ages to come. A great round of applause to Sneha Kashyap Thakur and all great souls who work along with her.

IDIA is a blessing for all the members as we get to connect with each other and share our experiences and inspire each other.Thank You Sneha and all the team members for putting so much effort and organizing meaningful events.I cherish all the good moments of being part of fun events and hopefully will get chance to attend more as I always feel disappointed when I am not able to attend some events. GIVING and SHARING gives more satisfaction than any other thing in life. It feels like a small community where each one is important and we help each other grow and teach each other how to live our life. Its easy to forget sometimes to enjoy life when we get so busy with personal life and challenges and being part of these events brings back joy in life. Being part of this community helps women with small business to have a platform to grow their business. I am so happy to be connected with all of you!
