There was no room for mansplaining at the INDIA TODAY Woman Summit-Gender Equity held in Chennai on February 9. Instead, it was all about leading women across fields sharing their experiences of overcoming odds and lessons learnt along the way. The audience-young and predominantly female-bore witness to the testimonies of sheroes in the arts (Carnatic vocalist Aruna Sairam, Bharatanatyam dancer Narthaki Nataraj and actress Pooja Hedge); in science and medicine (Suchitra Ella of Bharat Biotech, Nigar Shaji from the Indian Space Research Organisation, Prof. Annapurni Subramaniam, director, Indian Institute of Astrophysics and Dr Pratima Murthy, director, National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences); and in business (Saundarya Rajesh, founder-president of the Avtar Group; Lavanya Nalli, vice chairperson of the Nalli Group of Companies; Dr Urjitha Rajagopalan, director, MGM Healthcare; Megha Asher, co-founder of beauty label Juicy Chemistry; and Nalini Parthiban, co-founder of Sweet Karam Coffee).
