The panel will bring to the fore issues concerning women seeking to create a place for themselves in different environments, be it in lucrative jobs, challenging startups, and even small-scale industries. Breaking the glass ceiling and GROW: Global Reach Opportunity for Women; are the two topics included in this all-women track.

We are looking forward to including panellists and keynote speakers who either hail from Nagpur or have a connection with the city and have put it on the map. Their insights and global perspectives can encourage and guide the audience with similar aspirations.

Inspired from last 2 Social Tracks, a number of Non-Profit Organisations and change leaders have started various activities mainly focusing on the subjects we covered in the last Global Nagpur Summit. Looking at their efforts and feedback from participating NGO’s, we came to the conclusion that we need to focus on specificity in our plan. So that we can expect a tangible impact on the organisations which are already aware and doing good this session is aimed at being interactive, showcasing innovative case studies and deliberating on pre-planned one on one meeting with experts and selected NGO’s
