Leading Indian Business Women Confirm Participation at the Women in Leadership Forum in Mumbai this October 2011


Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Monday, July 25, 2011 -- (Business Wire India) -- Leading business information group naseba has announced dates for the Indian edition of their global Women in Leadership (WIL) Series. It is returning to the country's financial capital on October 13th - 14th 2011, and is being held at the JW Marriott in Mumbai.

WIL is a cutting-edge platform for businesswomen from all backgrounds, industry sectors and countries around the world.
Amongst the delegates in attendance will be top Indian and global businesswomen, industry visionaries, leading politicians, knowledge thought leaders and entrepreneurs.

According to US corporate law firm Dickstein Shapiro: "Companies that increase the number of women in leadership roles have a competitive advantage. Compared with the median companies in their industries, organisations with a higher number of women executives performed better with respect to profits as a percentage of revenue, by a range of 18 to 69 percent."

In line with the theme for this year's conference: 'My career - a cornerstone of my identity' - renowned personalities have been confirmed as speakers for the two days. These include: Naina Lal Kidwai, Group General Manager and Country Head, HSBC India; Sangita Singh, Senior Vice President, Wipro Technologies; Vibha Pinglé, President and Founder, Ubuntu at Work; Shahnaz Husain, Chairperson, Shahnaz Husain Group of Companies, and Marsha Gabriel, CSI Advisor and CEO, The Helping Hand Network /CSI Congress, South Africa.

Over the past few decades, women's roles and their development in India have experienced tremendous change. They are venturing way beyond the traditional responsibilities of wife and mother, as a career is now an integral part of a woman's identity. The 2nd Annual Women in Leadership Forum India provides a suitable networking platform for businesswomen from across India and abroad, where they can discuss and celebrate their important role in today's competitive society," said Sophie Le Ray, CEO of naseba.

Official partners confirming their participation so far are Monster India, Radio City, Femina, Naree.com and Business Wire India.

"We are very excited about this partnership," enthused Priya Florence Shah, Editor of Naaree.com and a successful internet publisher. "I completely support this event and believe it is high time India's women achievers had a platform of their own. We enthusiastically invite all businesswomen in India to be part of this."

The forum culminates with the prestigious WIL Achievement Awards in partnership with Monster India. The ceremony recognises the achievements of prominent businesswomen and gender diverse organisations.
