Empowering Tomorrow: The Rise of Women in Global Workforce Dynamics

Event conceptualised and executed by ET Edge

MUMBAI, India, June 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The global landscape of workforce dynamics is witnessing a profound transformation with the remarkable rise of women as key contributors, leaders, and innovators. Over the past decade, women have redefined organizational cultures, fostering inclusivity, collaboration, and sustainable growth. As they continue to comprise an increasingly significant portion of the global workforce, their impact on economies, industries, and societies at large has become undeniable. According to recent data from the International Labour Organization (ILO), women’s participation in the global workforce has seen a steady increase, with projections indicating a continued upward trajectory in the years to come. This surge in women’s workforce participation represents one of the most profound economic and social shifts of the 21st century, underscoring the imperative of creating environments that enable women to thrive and excel.

Against this backdrop, the ET NOW Best Organisations for Women Conclave 2024, hosted by Times Group, emerges as a pivotal platform for celebrating the strides made in advancing gender equality and empowerment in the workplace. Scheduled for March 21, 2024, at the illustrious Sahara Star in Mumbai, this exclusive conclave brought together visionaries, thought leaders, and change agents from across industries to illuminate the path towards a more equitable and inclusive future.

The event commenced with an inspiring keynote address, setting the stage for thought-provoking discussions, insightful panels, and engaging conversations centred around women’s empowerment, leadership, and organizational excellence. At the heart of the conclave was a commitment to spotlighting organizations that have demonstrated exemplary practices and initiatives in promoting gender diversity and fostering a culture of inclusion.

Dr. Seema Rao, a trailblazing figure in martial arts and India’s first woman commando trainer, delivered a special address, debunking the “Superwoman Myth” and emphasizing the importance of perfectionism and prioritizing self-care. A thought-provoking panel discussion titled “The She Suite: Of Legacy, Ladder, and Leadership” featured distinguished women leaders sharing personal experiences and strategies for navigating the complexities of leadership.

Attendees gained insights from a case study on MG Motor India and the Changing Role of Women in Manufacturing, followed by a presentation from the Knowledge and Research Partner and the unveiling of the Coffee Table Book.

A historic panel discussion, “Taking Charge: Stories of Triumph from Women in Uniform,” brought together pioneering women officers from the Indian armed forces. Delving into topics of gender equality, inclusion in combat roles, and women’s vital contributions to national defense, the session emphasized the significance of representation and exceptional leadership qualities. Featuring Colonel Noreen Shanet John, Lieutenant Colonel Namrata Rathore, Wing Commander Rajalakshmi Prithviraj, and Lieutenant Commander Aanchal Sharma, alongside the esteemed chairmanship of Lieutenant General (retd) PJS Pannu, the event showcased both the remarkable achievements of women in uniform and the evolving dynamics within the armed forces.

Special addresses, panel discussions, and fireside chats continued throughout the evening, covering topics such as re-entry of women in the workforce post-motherhood, stories of triumph from women in uniform, the significance of employee resource groups and support networks, and the role of diversity in driving innovation.

The event concluded with a Global DEI Alliance special segment, followed by a closing address.

Throughout the day, attendees delved into a diverse array of topics, ranging from redefining success metrics to dismantling systemic barriers that hinder women’s advancement in the workplace. With a blend of interactive sessions, immersive workshops, and networking opportunities, the conclave promises to be a catalyst for meaningful dialogue, collaboration, and action.

Moreover, the unveiling of the Coffee Table Book, a visual ode to the achievements and journeys of organizations committed to women’s empowerment, served as a poignant reminder of the progress made and the milestones yet to be achieved on the journey towards gender parity.

The ET NOW Best Organisations for Women Conclave 2024 represents a milestone in the ongoing quest for gender equality and workplace empowerment.

SPJIMR holds Annual Convocation 2025 with HUL’s Nitin Paranjpe as Chief Guest

802 graduates embark on a journey to lead with integrity, passion, and a growth mindset

MUMBAI, India, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan’s S.P. Jain Institute of Management and Research, one of India’s leading business schools, hosted its Annual Convocation 2025 at its Mumbai campus on Saturday, 17 May. The event celebrated the achievements of over 800 graduating participants from across the Institute’s full-time and modular postgraduate programmes, including two (2) Fellow Programme in Management (FPM) scholars.

The Convocation was graced by Mr. Nitin Paranjpe, Non-Executive Chairman of Hindustan Unilever, as Chief Guest. Also, present were Mr. Deepak Parekh, Chair of SPJIMR’s Governing Council; Dr. Varun Nagaraj, Dean, SPJIMR; faculty and staff; and family members of the graduating participants.

Delivering the Convocation Address, Mr. Nitin Paranjpe drew upon his decades of global business experience to urge the graduating cohort to lead with purpose, resilience, and a commitment to continuous growth. Speaking of India’s bold aspiration to become a Viksit Bharat by 2047, he highlighted the need for a new kind of leadership—one that is ethical, compassionate, and driven by the common good.

Mr. Paranjpe shared three powerful life lessons drawn from his personal and professional journey: “There’s no such thing as a good job or a bad one — it’s the mindset you bring that shapes your experience. The real joy, and the foundation for excellence, lies in loving what you do. Don’t chase being the best in the world — strive to be the best version of yourself. Continuous self-improvement is your right, your responsibility, and your greatest opportunity. Purpose is that inner force that fuels your energy and passion. When you find what truly drives you, hold on to it — it’s the most precious gift you’ll ever have.”

In his address, Dean Dr. Varun Nagaraj shared a candid reflection on the challenges graduates face in an uncertain world—geopolitical tensions and the dual promise and peril of AI. He urged them to enter this complex landscape with confidence, guided by SPJIMR’s mission of value-based growth and wise innovation.

He reaffirmed SPJIMR’s commitment to nurturing leaders who combine knowledge with empathy and impact with purpose: “Tomorrow you will be a different and better person than today. Embrace a growth mindset—remember, you are a work in progress, not a finished product. The world offers no ready-made answers; solutions come only through hard work and wise innovation.”

Sixteen (16) top achievers across programmes were presented with Scholastic Medals by Chief Guest Mr. Nitin Paranjape, and 50 recipients from the Dean’s Honour List received their commendation certificates from the Dean. 

Diplomas were conferred across the Institute’s full-time and modular programmes, including the Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM), Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGPM), PGDM (Business Management), Post Graduate Executive Management Programme (PGEMP), Post Graduate Programme in Development Management (PGPDM), Post Graduate Programme in General Management (PGPGM), and Post Graduate Programme in Marketing & Business Management (PGPMBM).

The Convocation ceremony concluded with the traditional hat throw, celebrating the graduates’ journey and the beginning of their next chapter as responsible, value-based leaders.
