WOMEN ACHIEVERS

SHAKTI AWARDS 2025

The Conclave is an organic result of our weekly show We Women Want where we raise similar issues. In fact the concept behind the show was inspired by the honourable Prime Minister’s vision of Nari Shakti to empower the Girl Child.

The focus of the discussions will be on women’s issues and rights, supporting those who have faced gender biases & prejudices, while celebrating those who broke through the glass ceiling. We will be discussing issues like body shaming, legal rights, health issues, biases against women in the entertainment industry & other workplaces with Bollywood stars, designers, fitness experts, women CEOs and parliamentarians. The We Women Want Show has become a support group for women all over as we raise issues that cut across all divides.
