The meeting organised in association with the Union Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME), was supported by Aatm Nirbhar Women's Association (ANWA) and the privately-run GLA University in Mathura.
"'Women Talk' events are gatherings where W-Talkers present, share their inspiring and extraordinary stories, thoughts, ideas and experiences. It helps the audience to be aware about how women-entrepreneurship is booming in India," an organiser said.
Currently, women entrepreneurs may be less but overall women comprise about 30 per cent of corporate senior management positions, which is notably higher than the global average (24 percent). It is a great opportunity to learn and be entertained by amazing 'Women Talkers' and speakers," she added.
