I’ve been blessed with this opportunity to lead FLO Chennai as its youngest Chairperson in the history. I know with great opportunity comes great duty and I am filled with gratitude and a great sense of responsibility as I take on this role.
This wonderful organisation which has witnessed Visionary Leaders, Dedicated members who have really Shaped the Path of the organisation and to where it is today.I would like to extend my special thanks to the Past Presidents of FLO Chennai and the Past Chairpersons of Flo Chennai for their invaluable guidance.
I’ve had such wonderful role models and leaders who have been here before me and I pray that I’m able to do justice to their trust in me, to all your trust and faith in me.
I thought I would also take this opportunity to briefly introduce myself and my background. I am Chartered Accountant, Cost Accountant, Company Secretary and a Qualified Lawyer. I am also the elected Chairperson of the Southern Region of the ICMAI. I have been in the Executive Committee of FLO Chennai the last 5 years.
So FLO is not just an organisation that I’m part of, it has become a place of learning, growth for me and from where I have learnt about leadership, about giving back with grace and to truly empower women, I’ve gotten inspired to do more, become a better person, and have made amazing friends along the way.

My theme for the year is EEE – Empower, Engage & Elevate
I am committed to ensuring that the organization remains focused on our core mission: empowering women and promoting gender equality. I am eager to seize this opportunity to empower women to participate more actively in the economy, through initiatives with particular focus on promoting literacy in areas such as digital skills, financial literacy, STEM education, upskilling initiatives such as C2C (Campus to Corporate) and gender parity. Additionally, I am dedicated to supporting agricultural skills for women farmers, vocational training for young girls, and initiatives promoting startups and MSMEs, as well as professional development.
I believe that we have a unique opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of women and I am eager to work to achieve this goal.
I am fortunate to be supported by an exceptional team composed of dedicated and enthusiastic women, and together, we aim to make this year a truly rewarding one for all.
