The Women of the Future Awards, are about celebrating a bright new generation of talent, right across the world. We have seen in the UK how powerful these awards are in identifying new role models; and in establishing a mutually supportive network of fantastic young women.
At the inaugural event in Mumbai, a special presentation was made to Roopa Purushothaman one young woman, who represents so much of the positive qualities of this initiative. It’s our hope that she will be the first of many winners of – and indeed ambassadors for – the Global Women of the Future Awards.
We hope to launch the full awards next year in Mumbai.
