About Us

SocioTurtle is building a more outcome-driven bridge between learning and opportunity for women students β€” connecting them with educators and employers through visible skills, stronger validation, and meaningful community.

Poonam Pal, Founder of SocioTurtle
Poonam Pal, Founder

Built on 19+ years of transformation leadership across industries and systems.

Our Beginning

SocioTurtle began with a simple conviction: talent deserves access to opportunity.

After 19+ years leading enterprise transformation across telecom, banking, automobile, oil and gas, chemicals, manufacturing, and media, Poonam Pal saw the same pattern again and again: capability existed, but access to opportunity did not.

SocioTurtle was born from that insight: make learning more visible, validation more credible, and opportunity more accessible for every learner ready to move forward.

Strong capability existed, but real visibility and access did not.

Gained institutional backing

Incubated at COEP BHAU Institute since June 2026, strengthening our path from idea to scale.

What Guides Us

β€œTalent is everywhere, but opportunity is not equally distributed.”

SocioTurtle exists to close that gap for women students by connecting them with educators and employers in one continuous story of learning, validation, and opportunity.

SocioTurtle Stories

Short comic-style stories where Socioturtle encourages curiosity, learning, and wisdom through everyday experiences.

Comic strip 'The Mentor Who Was Once Lost': a junior turtle feels overwhelmed by choices like career, skills, internships, and higher studies. A senior turtle offers to explore it together, admitting she was once just as lost, and they walk forward together. Lesson: today's guide was once finding their way too.
