InsideIIM's Ode To The Women Leaders Of Today And Tomorrow

“It’s time we realise that feminism is equality of both genders and not the empowerment of one,” echoes Aranya Johar, poet and a part of BBC’s Most Inspirational Women of 2020. Echoing this sentiment, b-schools across the country encourage gender diversity with bonus points for female applicants. At InsideIIM too, we recognise the immense contribution women bring to management. In 2019-20, we met and interacted with some outstanding women leaders and pioneers. Many of our readers, and b-school students too, came up with inspirational stories on life, depression, inclusion and more. We’d like to thank all you ladies (all genders really!) out there. Today, on International Women’s Day 2020, here’s some inspirational stories celebrating womanhood, survival and inclusion.
