Arathi Shetty speaks on women’s social and economic empowerment at The Influencers Meet anchored by Edelgive Foundation

Gender equality remains an uphill battle across the geographies of rural and urban India, Edelgive foundation’s event, The Influence Meet spoke about the need to strengthen grassroots interventions that are working with women and girls to embark on their social and economic empowerment journey.

Arathi Shetty, Non-Executive Director of Allcargo Logistics spearheads the Avashya Foundation and is one of the influencers at the Edelgive Foundation’s platform The Influencers Meet, which brings together like-minded individuals.

She believes this platform created by Edelgive is one of the best ways to join forces and to reach out to a much wider range of beneficiaries and amplify the positive impact of one’s activities to a large extent. Working and interacting with the influencers on this platform has been enriching and inspiring.

She spoke about Striving together for a women-friendly world, just as it’s important to applaud the women who are shattering glass ceilings, it is also important that we keep in mind and mitigate the hardships faced by women who don’t even know that it exists, because they’re still not empowered to explore their rights, choices and the world around them.

Edelgive Foundation is playing an important role by enabling efforts in this direction and a collective experience and perspectives of all its influencers can be a powerful force in making the world a better, equally safe and happy place for women across diverse socio-economic backgrounds.
