Incredible women: Swathi Reddy Gunupati | Managing Partner | Mudhra Ventures LLP and Executive Director | IQuest Enterprises Private Ltd

“This International Women’s Day, I extend my heartfelt wishes to the incredible women who, through unwavering dedication, contribute to the fabric of our society. It is crucial to recognize that 18% of about 30,000 active digital startups in India are led by female founders or co-founders, highlighting the need for increased representation.

Also, in the past year, we have witnessed a remarkable surge in women employability, reaching 52.8%, bridging the gender gap. Working closely with numerous women-run organisations, I have witnessed first-hand the remarkable contributions they make to our industry and our society. Their leadership and innovation play a vital role in shaping a more inclusive entrepreneurial landscape.

Let’s celebrate the achievements of these outstanding women and continue to support and empower them in their endeavours. Here’s to breaking barriers and creating a future where women not only thrive but lead with strength and determination.”
