The Lions International presents News18 SheShakti 2025, a celebration of women who are not just achieving milestones but turning them into enduring legacies. This platform went beyond recognition, becoming a reflection of India’s evolving spirit where women rise above barriers and lead the way in shaping the nation’s future.
From boardrooms to battlegrounds, stadiums to universities, women are charting new frontiers in spaces long seen as male preserves. Their stories are not only about success but about rewriting the rules of leadership, proving that women today are creators of change, pioneers of innovation, and custodians of India’s growth story.
The journeys shared at SheShakti 2025 carried this spirit. Mira Erda, India’s first female Formula racer and athlete Asha M showed how grit and discipline can shatter stereotypes in sport. In entrepreneurship and AI, women leaders reminded us that the future of India’s digital economy is being shaped as much by women as by men.
This momentum carried into academia, where Professor Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit, the first female Vice-Chancellor of JNU, broke institutional glass ceilings to redefine intellectual leadership. In agriculture, Mallika Srinivasan, Chairperson of TAFE, transformed a traditional sector into a global engine of empowerment. Additionally, in defence, Surgeon Vice Admiral Arti Sarin created history as the first woman to head the Armed Forces Medical Services, assuming command responsibility across the Army, Navy, and Air Force.
Together, these leaders embody the theme From Breaking Barriers to Building Bharat. Their stories remind us that when women lead, they don’t just achieve personal victories — they create a stronger, more inclusive India. To know more, visit https://www.news18features.com/she-shakti-2025/
