FLO Bangalore, under the leadership of Chairperson Ms. Dekyi Yangtso Chawla, organized “FLO – AWE – SUM,” a transformational leadership development program designed to inspire purposeful leadership, cultivate mindful presence, and create lasting significance.
Held at Prestige Falcon Towers, the program was conceptualised by AWE Vertical Head, Dr. Kshama Shah Bhatia, and brought to life with the collaborative energy of her team members — Bindu Sastry, Priya Ramanarayan, Ira Gelani, and Anita Makharia. Together, they crafted a seamless balance of high-energy sessions, reflective practices, and actionable insights.
The day was further enriched by Past Chair Namrata, who led two grounding meditations that anchored participants in stillness and mindfulness. The program is aligned with FICCI FLO’s National Initiative Women In Leadership Roles.
