Busting Taboos and Making Billions: FemTech and Wellness

This talk is not just about busting taboos around women’s health and highlighting the discrepancies in the gender gaps that we are all so familiar with.

It is not a scream for help. It is a loud call to inspire entrepreneurs, bust taboos, and pinpoint problematic areas that have the potential to be transformed into unicorn businesses.

This talk is about women's self-care at its core through the lenses of wellness strategies that mean business.

Don’t Be A Gender. Be An Airbender!

Why would you be a gender if you could be an airbender? In her powerful and captivating talk, Aradhana Khowala takes you into a time machine, all the way back to the Ancient Egyptians and the goddesses of India, where she brings you on a journey to discover the true origin of woman power.

Though her talk revolves around equality of opportunity and woman power, she emphasizes that the journey to such equality is not linear, and that the key is to work together to ensure that neither men nor women are left behind: 'progress on gender parity doesn’t have to be a linear progression'. Why can’t it be a tangential arc that still contributes towards the geometry of societal design?

THE GREAT DEBATE - DO WOMEN REALLY BELONG ON TOP?

REGENERATION NEEDS A PARADIGM SHIFT OF MINDSETS.

CLIMATE CHANGE

Keeping an eye on the code red for humanity
