Women Entrepreneurs Are Very Rare: Padmaja Ruparel, Co-founder, IAN Group
"India's entrepreneurship has grown but there is a very abysmal growth of women entrepreneurs. And even more abysmal is the fact that funding is rare. In 2022, 14.7% of the funding went to women. In 2023, it dropped to 9.7%," said Padmaja Ruparel, Co-founder, IAN Group at the NDTV World Summit.

"We need to create the Black Rock of India led by a woman. Then we'll make it. That, to me, is what will drive the entrepreneurship," she added.
As the Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi settles into his third term, India's global influence continues to expand, reshaping both geopolitical dynamics and economic landscapes. Amidst ongoing conflicts in Europe and West Asia, India has emerged as a responsible global power, adeptly navigating complex international relations and offering leadership.
In this transformative era, the world turns to India for guidance. It is within this context that NDTV proudly presents its flagship event, NDTV World Summit 2024 – The India Century, scheduled for October 21st and 22nd.
Continuing NDTV’s legacy of pioneering media, we will also launch NDTV World at the summit, with the tagline: "Seeing the World from Where India Stands." NDTV World aims to be a leading voice from Asia and India on the global stage.
