Women leaders drive social and economic change in India and UAE

In India, women are increasingly shaping institutions and industries, moving beyond traditional definitions of success to influence sectors such as education, healthcare, technology, and beauty. Key figures include Devyani Jaipuria, who focuses on educational and healthcare institution-building, and Falguni Nayar, who founded the beauty and lifestyle platform Nykaa. Additionally, Roshni Nadar Malhotra continues to lead in the technology sector as Chairperson of HCLTech.

In the United Arab Emirates, Aparna Bajpai is working to empower women through both community building and financial independence. Through the BeingShe initiative, she provides platforms for recognition and belonging, including the BeingShe Excellence Awards. Furthermore, through Aurex Privy and the SheOwns initiative, she assists women in real estate advisory to build lasting wealth and property ownership.
