It was a pleasure to have these guests from diverse community leaders for this ATA International Women’s Day. All the woman guests spoke about how the women have multiple avenues to excel and serve their local communities, be it becoming entrepreneurs or venturing into politics.

They also reminded the women to respect our Indian culture and traditions and pass it on to our next generation kids.
