News18 SheShakti 2025 to spotlight women powering governance and a new Bharat
Celebrating women leaders who are breaking barriers and building a new Bharat through governance, equality, and innovation
India’s policy & governance ecosystem is changing, and women are not just breaking through barriers, they are actively shaping the future of the nation. In the past year, women have achieved significant milestones across various fields; shattering glass ceilings, redefining what excellence means in administration, and playing key roles in government, business, and other sectors. Today, India has secured a position among the 20 countries where women hold more than 40% of local seats, with over 1.4 million elected women representatives, including Sarpanchs. This rise in women's participation highlights their increasing influence and leadership in shaping the country's policies and governance.
This year, Lions International Presents News18 SheShakti 2025 is dedicated to highlighting those in positions of power and influence, individuals who are rethinking institutions, pushing for reforms, and making sure growth benefits everyone in an inclusive and sustainable way.
Over the years, SheShakti has become India’s leading platform for celebrating women who are shaping the country’s path recognising both early breakthroughs and leaders who are building a new India. The third edition of SheShakti builds on this vision with greater urgency. It is imperative to celebrate the role of women in envisioning a new India and SheShakti provides a platform for meaningful discussions on governance, equality, innovation, and leadership, where inspiring stories meet ideas that can influence the country’s future.
