HerRising 2024 Mumbai: Breaking Barriers and Redefining the Future of Women in the Workforce

Muru Arjunan, CTO- Herkey, Addressing the Conference

 

Mumbai, 11th September 2024 – HerKey is excited to announce the overwhelming success of HerRising 2024, which continued its journey with a vibrant in-person event in Mumbai. As part of India’s largest hybrid conference and career fair for women, HerRising 2024 offered a powerful platform for learning and networking, attracting women professionals from diverse industries.

HerRising 2024 in Mumbai featured a vibrant mix of keynote speeches and workshops curated around women embracing their multifaceted roles while thriving in their careers. This year’s theme, #ToBeHer,  celebrated women’s strength, resilience, and ambition across India.

Manoj Paul, Managing Director, Equinix India Pvt Ltd shared an insightful keynote at HerRisising. His engaging insights on shaping success through strategic planning and execution resonated deeply with the attendees.

Neelu Khatri,  Co-founder and SVP International, Akasa Air said, “Resilience comes from embracing uncertainty and preparing for the worst-case scenario while staying focused on what truly matters—your basic needs and self-investment. When you prioritize yourself and build a strong ecosystem around you, every challenge becomes an opportunity. Often, it’s not the world that sets our limits but our own beliefs. With the right mentors to guide us, the emotional intelligence to connect deeply with our challenges, and the self-confidence to push beyond expectations, we can break through any barrier. It’s this combination of support, self-belief, and resilience that allows women to truly redefine what’s possible.”

Muru Arjunan, Chief Technology Officer, HerKey, welcomed the audience and touched upon the 4Ms of a woman’s life- Marriage, Mobility, Motherhood & Medical Care. That’s why usually a woman’s career graph looks very different from a man’s. Muru also dwelled upon the importance of allies in a woman’s career. For every HER she needs a ForHer and HerKey brings both together on a common platform so that every woman gets what she needs to advance in her career and beyond with the power of communities.

Aditya Birla Capital, Cargill, Corning, dunnhumby, and numerous other prominent corporations were in attendance. The event witnessed the participation of industry leaders such as PwC, Ericson, S&P Global, Mastercard and more.

As the success of the Mumbai event follows on the heels of the Gurugram edition, it sets the stage for the highly anticipated HerRising 2024 event in Bengaluru on September 12th. With each gathering, HerRising continues to expand its reach and impact, fulfilling its mission to empower women and foster an environment where they can thrive.
