WEDP - 2nd Batch (Ashlesha)


Vaishali Rawal

Founder, VRinda's Svedanika

WEDP helped upgrade all that plus give the right direction to actually putting theory into practice. The course content was good and impactful. The mix of mentors was well thought out. Overall, for me WEDP was just the thing I needed at that point in time.
