Hyderabad: To mark theWorld Creativity and Innovation Day, the Association of Business Women in Commerce and Industry (ABWCI), in collaboration with NIMSME, organised a one-day symposium, where renowned speakers stressed how women are playing a pivotal role in business in driving social and economic progress across diverse sectors through creativity and innovation.

Small-scale industries are not in a position to invest in innovations. As our organisation is in 37 countries, we are trying to bring more trade ideas from different countries and trying to bring that type of synergy in Indian entrepreneurs.” The event was held under the leadership of B Kavitha Rajesh president South Asia,ABWCI. A Chowdary, Founder, International Startup Foundation was key speaker of the event and also Dr. P. Raghu Ram, Founder CEO, Ushalakshmi Breast Cancer Foundation was also one of important speaker in the event.

Stressing on how the tri-sector partnership is playing a vital role, he said the government, the private sector and various other profitable organisations are working together in ushering in such change.

In India, participation of women workforce has increased, but their contribution to the economy in terms of entrepreneurship has not gone up. The reason is there is no ecosystem supporting women entrepreneurs.
