Wo stree hai kuch bhi kar sakti hai - Celebrating Women's Leadership From national security briefings to transforming industries, women leaders in India are demonstrating remarkable strength, innovation, and influence across diverse sectors. Let's highlight some inspiring examples : In a significant moment for national defence, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh and Colonel Sofiya Qureshi took the lead in India's briefing on 'Operation Sindoor'. The choice of women officers leading was powerful, reflecting the mark of strength and sacrifice. Wing Commander Vyomika Singh is a distinguished helicopter pilot in the Indian Air Force (IAF), commissioned in the flying branch, who has operated in challenging terrains and participated in rescue missions. Colonel Sofiya Qureshi is a decorated officer of the Indian Army's Corps of Signals and notably was the first woman officer to lead an Indian Army contingent in a multinational military exercise in Pune. Their leadership in this critical briefing underscores the integral role of women in safeguarding the nation. Simultaneously, women entrepreneurs continue to reshape India's economic landscape. Pioneers like Falguni Nayar, founder of Nykaa, have transformed the beauty and cosmetics sretail sector through a leading online platform. Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw of Biocon is credited with pioneering the biotechnology industry in India, building one of the country's largest biopharmaceutical companies. Richa Kar founded Zivame, revolutionising the lingerie market by making it accessible and comfortable for Indian women. Other notable women leaders include Vandana Luthra (VLCC) in beauty and wellness, Radhika Aggarwal (ShopClues) significantly contributing to e-commerce growth, Upasana Taku (MobiKwik) advancing digital payments and financial inclusion, and Aditi Gupta (Menstrupedia) empowering women through menstrual health education. These businesses demonstrate the profound impact of women-led ventures in innovating and revolutionising various sectors. These examples across defence, business, and other fields showcase women leaders not only breaking barriers but also driving significant change and progress in India.
