Ms Stuti Jalan, Founder of Women Inspiring Network, stated, “At Davos 2025,
I made a commitment that WIN would bring more Indian women leaders to Davos 2026. I’m proud and deeply energised to share that we have delivered on that promise.
This year, it is especially meaningful to welcome an inspiring cohort of Indian women leaders, including Smriti Zubin Irani (The Alliance for Global Good: Gender Equity & Equality), Nivruti Rai (Invest India), Sangita Reddy (Apollo), Dipali Goenka (Welspun Living Ltd), Priya Agarwal Hebbar (Vedanta), Radhika Bharat Ram (Shri Ram / KARM), Arti Gupta (Jagran Group), and Priti Rathi Gupta (Lxme), who are joining us at the WIN Lounge. Their presence marks a defining moment for Indian women stepping into global leadership conversations.”
Davos remains a unique platform where leaders come together to share journeys, exchange ideas, and help shape what comes next. I am grateful to our partners—Masimo, Arushi Arts, Qi, Lxme, RSS Electronics, Sunray Corporation, BouleyGandhi (BG), St Nicholas International Slavic University, iWill, Dupri and Dasra—for believing in and supporting our vision.
