An interactive session “THE SHE FACTOR” with former Governor Ms. Margaret Alva & her daughter-in-law Ms. Anuja Chauhan, the lady of the Advertising Industry, worked as the youngest Vice President & Creative Director for JWT.

Ms. Alva & Ms. Chauhan shared her experiences and anecdotes, and the ‘She factor’ that not only make them achievers but also an inspiration to other women.

When a question was asked to Ms. Alva how a son should be raised with a character, she talked about the importance of upbringing by the parents & Girls should be given as much as freedom as boys. Ms. Anuja shared very interesting incidents during her inter-caste marriage between Rajput & Christians. But she also praised her mother-in-law to be very supportive in all her endeavours, who has never forced her values on Anuja & respects her upbringing.

Ms. Anuja also stated that the values that Ms. Alva has inculcated in her son Mr. Niret Alva (Anuja’s husband) despite being brought up in a political background is commendable.
