Retro Awards Night and Magazine 4.0 Launch: Celebrating Women Entrepreneurs in Kolkata
A retro dress code, an awards ceremony and a new magazine edition: on 4 February 2024, Busiqueens members gathered at YourSpace for a night of glamour and sisterhood.
The Busiqueens Retro Awards Night and Magazine 4.0 Launch Party took place on 4 February 2024 at YourSpace, Kolkata. Women from different industries and stages of business came together to celebrate each other's success, dressed in vintage-inspired fashion.
The night combined three things: an awards ceremony for women entrepreneurs, the launch of the fourth edition of the Busiqueens Magazine, and a ladies' meet-up full of networking.
Honouring women entrepreneurs
The awards ceremony recognised members across categories such as Favourite Makeup Artist and Favourite Educationist. Each awardee's journey was celebrated on stage, and the retro theme contest was won by makeup artist Bushra Amir, who recreated the look of actress Zeenat Aman.
Magazine 4.0 launch
The fourth edition of the Busiqueens Magazine was unveiled on the night, with stories, insights and practical advice for women in business. The cover featured Priyam Chakraborty, founder of Prisha Edu Consultancy, which connects parents with home tutors.
Retro fashion and networking
Guests came in looks inspired by earlier decades, mixing old-world charm with modern confidence. Between the awards and the launch, members exchanged ideas and contacts, and several new collaborations started that evening.
