He credited the Indian Constitution for paving the way for women to step into leadership roles in various sectors, and highlighted GeM’s role in opening up business opportunities for women entrepreneurs, especially those from Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
The event was a star-studded affair, with DICCI bigwigs like Ravi Kumar Nara and Dr. Milind Kamble in attendance, along with successful entrepreneurs like Geeta Pednekar and Avinash Jagtap. Several leading women entrepreneurs were also honored for their contributions to the industry – talk about girl power!
