Inspiring and authentic speakers and the anchors have enabled me to navigate, reflect and plan my own journey. It is all those little steps that makes the journey more enjoyable than the destination. This program gave me a wonderful opportunity to connect with powerful co-travellers from various fields along the way.

Dream for the galaxy.

Last year we immersed ourselves to make gender diversity, inclusion and belonging, a common parlance at dunnhumby. Partnering with XL4W & XLRI CGEIL on up! SURGE, was a crucial stepping stone for us, as we endeavored to unlock the true potential of brilliant women leaders across India on their journey to the C-Suite.
