Busiqueens Picnic 2024: A Day at Eco Park for Women Entrepreneurs and Their Families
Work-life balance is easier said than done. On 27 January 2024, Busiqueens members took a day off together at Eco Park, with their children, games and a little business on the side.
The Busiqueens Picnic 2024 (then the Super Womanpreneurs Picnic) was held on Saturday, 27 January 2024 at Eco Park, Kolkata. It gave women entrepreneurs and their families a day of rest, play and connection away from work.
Around 30 members and family members joined, travelling together by bus from Lady Brabourne College.
The journey
The day started with a pickup from Lady Brabourne College. Breakfast was served on the bus: a sandwich, a cupcake and a cold drink, so everyone arrived at Eco Park ready to play.
Games for all ages
Ludo, racket games and football kept both mothers and children busy. The highlight was the Picnic Contest, where members wrote a short piece on What is picnic for you? and the best entry won a special gift.
A little business on the side
Members were encouraged to bring business cards and flyers, so the day was productive as well as fun. Many collaborations in the community start in exactly this kind of relaxed setting.
Why a day off matters
Most women entrepreneurs in our community run their businesses alongside home and family. A day like this is a reminder that rest is part of growth. Join the free Busiqueens Facebook group to hear about the next family day.
