What makes this summit different from all others is that it is not been put together by an event management company, this is really a labor of love by ordinary citizens who are fed up of waiting for the government and corporations to create opportunities for change and growth for women in India. It is a bunch of friends who have gotten together to try and make a difference and so far everyone who has signed up has done it because they believe in the project.
The team at BooGio11 Productions has also made a conscious decision to stay away from window dressing the summit with token celebrities to create hype or for advertising. All the people who are onboard have been carefully selected for being pioneers and trailblazers in their respective fields and who can lead by example and experience.
