“Action isn’t about grand gestures; it’s about everyday decisions that move the needle. In advertising, and any industry, really real change happens when more women don’t just enter the room but shape the conversation. It’s about making leadership the norm, not the exception.

Our industry is built on moving pieces… brands, narratives, people, and it only gets stronger when diverse perspectives lead the way. The real acceleration? It’s not just about more seats at the table; it’s about ensuring those seats come with a voice that’s heard, valued, and truly makes a difference.”

Dr. Jyoti Kapoor, Founder-Director and Senior Psychiatrist, Manasthali

Women balancing work and home often face stress and burnout, making mental well-being essential. Prioritising self-care through regular exercise, healthy eating, and quality sleep helps sustain energy.

Setting boundaries at work and home prevents exhaustion, while delegating tasks reduces overload. Practicing mindfulness and relaxation techniques like meditation or deep breathing can ease stress.

Building a strong support system, family, friends, or professional network offers emotional relief. Normalise mental health discussions in families, workplaces, and social circles. Creating a judgment-free environment empowers women to prioritise their mental health without fear.

“It’s high time that there should be collective forge to build a more inclusive world for women. Even today, women do not receive the same level of confidence as men when managing certain affairs. This is especially true in tier-two cities, where workplaces and businesses are men-dominated.

Same level of confidence is not being placed in women workers/entrepreneurs. Therefore, you need to bring the change in yourself and stand up for injustice. Whatever you aspire to be in your professional life, be clear about it in your mind.

The universe works in your favor only when you know exactly what you want. Don’t give up—define your strategy and align it with your goals. Sometimes, success may take a little longer because we, as women, are not always encouraged to be self-centric.

But women can manage everything—family, personal space, and business—beautifully. The key is clarity, persistence, and the belief that you can have it all with the right balance.”

As we honor these remarkable women today, let their words inspire us to support and uplift one another. Together, we can pave the way for future generations of female leaders, ensuring that their dreams and ambitions are realized.
