As part of a specially curated week of learning for the Bengaluru Chapter, FICCI FLO Bengaluru hosted Her Legal Legacy, a focused session aimed at strengthening women’s financial and legal awareness. The initiative was led by Chairperson Dekyi Yangtso Chawla and executed by Manasa Ilango along with the Professional Services Vertical, ensuring a seamless and impactful experience.
Hosted at WeWork Embassy Quest, the session addressed critical yet often unspoken questions around inheritance, property rights, estate planning, and financial security. The discussion was led by senior legal experts from Khaitan & Co, one of India’s leading law firms, who offered case-led insights and simplified explanations to demystify complex legal frameworks.
Participants gained clarity on inheritance laws across religions, distinctions between ancestral and self-acquired property, and the importance of proactive succession planning. The session reinforced FLO Bengaluru’s commitment to empowering women with the knowledge required to secure their financial future with confidence and foresight. The event was supported by Khaitan & Co as Event Sponsor, with gifting sponsored by CKC Group.
