For women freelancers

Join Draupadi at Work

Thank you for being here :)

Draupadi at Work is Decoding Draupadi's free WhatsApp community for 10,000+ women freelancers and creative professionals in India. On weekdays, the group is a channel for curated gigs, opportunities and resources. On weekends, we open the chat for networking and advice. And we meet offline too, at events and workshops.

To keep it a strong, high-intent community, we vet every profile. Fill in your details and we'll add you within a week.

What happens after you apply

You'll see your application number as soon as you submit. Once a week we read every application by hand. We check your name and number, then the LinkedIn or social profile you shared.

If you're through, we add you to the WhatsApp group and email you a welcome note, usually within a week of applying. If we can't verify you, we'll write and ask for a little more, like a portfolio link or someone who can vouch for you. Joining is free.
