Sairee Chahal launched SHEROES in 2014 to provide job and work-life balance support to professional Indian women.

Nearly half of Indian women leave their professions mid-career for child or eldercare responsibilities.

SHEROES is an online community with 20,000 members that helps women find flexible, contract, part-time and work-from-home jobs.

Babygogo, based in Delhi provides day-to-day parenting advice; co-founder Siddhartha Ahluwalia said that the acquisition “is an indicator that our community does seek support around aspects that go beyond their identity as mothers.”

The terms of the deal were not disclosed. SHEROES has raised two rounds of funding and is on an acquisition streak.

The company previously acquired chat and SMS-based counseling service LoveDoctor and Gharkamai, a service that helps women find work-from-home gigs.
