EVENT SCHEDULE INFORMATION
Leadership and Sustainable Development
Female leadership is inclusive, encourages participation and shares information and power with those she leads. Capability of considering the “humane” side of individuals and generate high levels of empathy is the hallmark. Women’s empowerment is a key factor for achieving sustainable economic growth, social development and environmental sustainability. Sustainable development is broadly defined as development which meets the requirements of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Entrepreneurship and Start Up Ecosystem in India
Entrepreneurship is an important tool to empower the women in the country by increasing family, economic, financial and social status. Women are making a mark in this area of life too. With women now traversing in this arena, it is evident that the future is female. There has been a surge in the number of women entrepreneurs leading to newer ideas coming to life. Women are inspiring women, and there is a need to keep up the momentum. But, what still lacks is the backing from society to keep these entrepreneurial ideas coming and to keep women going.We all need to come together, support women, and move forward as a society since only then can our world see more Indra Nooyi, Falguni Nayar, Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, and several others on the path to greater success.
