LEADING THROUGH ADVERSITIES: WOMEN WILL CHANGE THE FUTURE OF INDIA
#Women4Business Interviews
How are women being impacted by
COVID-19, and how are they leading to address the challenges faced by
others? To learn, The Women’s Forum for the Economy and Society is
conducting a series of interviews with women entrepreneurs and
ambassadors for women’s empowerment around the world.
These
interviews are unveiling unique insights into the far-reaching impacts
of Covid-19, and the diverse ways these inspiring women are responding
to the crisis with leadership and innovation.
Anita Dongre, Founder, The House of Dongre
The
Women’s Forum met with Anita Dongre, creator of The House of Dongre. One
of the most successful fashion houses in India, it employs over 2,600
people directly and provides employment opportunities to thousands more.
Anita has been a trailblazer at the forefront of Indian fashion for
over 20 years, having recognised the need to create and cater to the
fashion choices of an Indian woman at a time when few brands existed.
For Anita, the business of fashion should be conducted the way it was
always meant to be – looking towards the future, practicing and building
processes that are sustainable, respectful of the people involved and
environmentally conscious.
