FICCI FLO Initiatives Under the Leadership of 43rd National President Ms. Puja Garg
This year, the Initiatives, under the leadership of the 43rd National FICCI FLO President, Ms. Puja Garg, are designed to help women move from aspiration to achievement, whether she is a student, entrepreneur, professional, artisan, policymaker, or community leader.
This year’s theme, “Strength Within, Scale Beyond,” focuses on institutional excellence, deeper alignment across chapters, and a bold expansion of national and global impact. Also, the National Initiatives will be rooted in sustainability, innovation, entrepreneurship, skilling, livelihood generation, policy advocacy, and leadership.
FICCI FLO is continuing to bridge the gap between potential and opportunity through knowledge, opportunities, mentorship, and resources that women need to thrive in an ever-evolving world.
