YFLO Kolkata hosted its inaugural event, held on April 21, 2025, at Taj Bengal, Kolkata. The event marked the beginning of a year rooted in purpose, passion, and positivity.
This year’s theme, ‘Born to Shine’, encapsulates the essence of modern womanhood—S for Strength, H for Hope, I for Inspiration, N for Nurture, and E for Empowerment.
The highlight of the evening was the guest of honor, Bollywood icon, Ms. Karishma Kapoor. She reflected on her journey, the strength she drew from life’s challenges, and her clarity of purpose. This year the chapter introduced 2 clubs:
•The Social Network Club, which is aimed at fostering deeper member connections through curated experiences.
• The Creating Smiles Philanthropy Club focused on giving back to the community, including an upcoming visit to Adhigam Bhoomi, supporting the dreams of underprivileged girls.
An interactive Q&A followed, along with a fun segment with playful games and dance. Karishma’s talk and insights left the members feeling empowered, uplifted, and motivated.
