Promising leaders and businesses have shared their experiences of creating and sustaining compelling experiences in their respective sectors. However, we at Economic Times Edge take pride in moving the spotlight to the hidden pillars of INDIAN ECONOMY who have and who are making our NATION PROUD nationally and globally – The Women.

The Women play a pivotal role in the success of any society and culture, without the upliftment of women, no society can prosper. From doing office jobs to taking responsibility for household work, and doing so selflessly, women are the backbone of our society. They are constantly evolving and reaching new milestones across a wide spectrum of human activities in modern times, making their presence felt in entrepreneurship, administration, education, IT, health, science, army etc. at regional, national, and global levels. The world has witnessed the advent of women leaders such as Hillary Rodham Clinton, Indra Nooyi, Indira Gandhi, Oprah Winfrey, Mary Kom, Kalpana Chawla, Pabiben, Chavvi Rajawat, Chanda Kochhar, Kiran Bedi to name a few.

“It is the time to stop accepting the things that cannot be changed but changing the things that cannot be accepted.” – Angela Davis

Today we have many real-life examples where women have outperformed to their boundaries, spread their wings and have left no arena which remains unconquered by women. Whether it is politics, leading businesses or experimental fields such as Robotics, Electronics, AI, Space Sciences and a lot more, women power is everywhere. It is a no-brainer that the gender that makes up half of the world has so much to offer when there are no impediments stopping them. There are a lot of factors limiting how much value women are able to contribute to the prosperity of the world.
