FLO Chennai, under the leadership of Chairperson Dr. Amulya Rao, hosted the Business Networking Event at the elegant Woodpecker showroom on Nelson Manickam Road, providing members with an inspiring setting that reflected the brand’s commitment to design excellence and craftsmanship. One of the highlights of the session was the structured networking format, where every participant was given one minute to introduce themselves and their business, ensuring equal visibility and creating opportunities for focused interactions.
The session commenced with an insightful presentation by Ms. Keerthana Swaminathan, who shared the inspiring journey of Woodpecker, one of Chennai’s most respected legacy furniture brands with five stores across the city. She spoke about the brand’s evolution, its commitment to quality, innovation, customer trust, and the values that have shaped its success over the years. Her entrepreneurial journey offered valuable insights and inspired members to think about building enduring businesses.
Following the presentation, 37 FLO members actively engaged in meaningful networking, exchanging ideas, exploring collaborations, sharing referrals, and identifying potential business opportunities. The structured format encouraged genuine conversations and fostered strong professional connections within the FLO Chennai community. The afternoon concluded with a delightful high tea, where members continued their interactions in a warm and relaxed atmosphere.
As a thoughtful gesture of appreciation, Keerthana graciously presented every attendee with a beautifully curated Woodpecker hamper as a return gift, adding a personal touch to the event and leaving members with a memorable keepsake. The event was a wonderful blend of inspiration, structured networking, and warm hospitality, resulting in meaningful business connections, valuable collaborations, and a truly enriching experience. It reflected FLO Chennai’s commitment to empowering women entrepreneurs by creating platforms that encourage learning, collaboration, and sustainable business growth.
