How was SHEROES Started?

The idea behind SHEROES is very simple. It is to partner with every woman in India so that she can stay on a career path of her choice and meticulously excel at it. Now, this includes all types of working women, be it that of a first-time intern, work at home mom or a top corporate strategist or an entrepreneur.

According to Sairee Chahal, “I have been an entrepreneur more than once and have also been on the corporate side story, with its own trappings of success and career ladder. However, one does realize the need to address what looks like a reducing peer group as you grow into your career. SHEROES.in was set up with the view of converting the talk about diversity into the action. We all know the figures, the data, the gender and women at work debate but how do we bring out solutions. SHEROES.in is a step in that direction. The response has been great and we are very early into this. This can only go one way - towards more and more solution-oriented change concerning the women at work”.
