"We continue our focus on strong driven women with a panel of female entrepreneurs who started their ventures at home, often on a shoestring budget, and then persevered against all odds to scale them to impressive levels and are today shining examples for women and entrepreneurs everywhere," Kaushik added.
On the occasion, women who are active in various social works were also honoured.

Sharing her experience, Nupur Agarwal Kalra, one of the attendees said, "It was full of energy, informative sessions, and discussions with lots of fun and laughter. There was a session on 'You too can make trending videos" by Vibhor Khandelwal, an expert from Youtube which was a very informative session. He gave us some good tips on how we can start making videos on YouTube with the right content and context."
"I loved the networking session where we build our network beyond our existing friends. I am sure this session is going to help me and other moms in reaching to other fellow mom's for any kind of collaboration, business expansion," Kalra added.
