"I can say with confidence that the Vedica Scholars Class of 2024 will be the future global leaders," he added.

Leaving the scholars with a challenge for the future, he said, "Today, you're job seekers, but I want you to become job creators in the next decade." Vedica is a pioneering programme for women that blends management practice, liberal arts, personal growth, and effective communication into a single, holistic curriculum.

Backed by a distinguished Governing Council, including Gita Mittal (Former Chief Justice of the Jammu and Kashmir High Court), Meenakshi Gopinath (Educationist and Former Principal, Lady Shri Ram College), and Tara Singh Vachani (Managing Trustee, Max India Foundation), and a Global Advisory Council comprising renowned experts like Tiger Tyagarajan (Founding Member and Former CEO, Genpact), Joanna Barsh (Director Emeritus, McKinsey and Company), and Utsav Baijal (Partner and Head of India Private Equity, Apollo Mumbai), Vedica has emerged as a pioneering institution empowering women to advance their careers.

Now in its 10th year, the programme remains committed to increasing the number of women in the workforce and supporting their continued growth and success.
