From women in tech to CEOs and founders - Meet India’s top changemakers and leaders at SheSparks 2023

YourStory’s year-long commitment to empower, enable and encourage women in the workforce is all set to kickstart with a one-day event on March 3, 2023, in New Delhi.

From women in tech to CEOs and founders - Meet India’s top changemakers and leaders at SheSparks 2023

Sunday February 26, 2023 , 4 min Read

Since its inception, YourStory is passionately working towards creating a diverse, inclusive and equal world. We strongly believe that our country’s women workforce will play a critical role in driving India towards its goal of becoming a $40 trillion economy. We also believe that it will be women from different walks of life and from across the towns, cities and villages of our country who will lead us to this mean feat. 

All these factors have led us to create SheSparks - a platform to celebrate women achievers, and inspire more and more girls and women to join the workforce and make a difference.

YourStory is thrilled to announce SheSparks 2023, commencing on March 3, 2023, at the Indian Habitat Centre, New Delhi.

At the event, YourStory will also unveil its shared manifesto for owning and driving the change we need to see for more women to become economically and socially free. We will also work towards sharing policy recommendations with various government ministries.

We are also prepping up to launch our curated women’s entrepreneurship and skilling programs to help create 1 million job-creators through YourStory University. Based on practical, outcome-based learning and available in multiple languages, this program will help all women dreaming and daring to tread the road to entrepreneurship.
