  • Women entrepreneurs driving change in a so-called men’s world

    Women entrepreneurs driving change in a so-called men’s world

    Mumbai: Women entrepreneurs are accelerating India’s business growth story. Ventures led by women entrepreneurs are expected to grow by 90 per cent in the next five years. But will this translate into a better and more inclusive corporate world led by women?  What will it take to build a more enabling work culture? Will the change be achieved in isolation from society or will it require a complete shift in mindsets? Who will drive this change – men or women? What support systems do women need, beginning with managing their personal lives and challenges, to sponsors and mentors at work to opt for and then stay in top roles?

    All this and more, was discussed at the roundtable organised during Wonder Women 2022 conference to explore the possibility of women entrepreneurs driving the next wave of business and economic growth in India. A day-long virtual event was organised by IndianTelevision.com on 4 March to recognise and honour remarkable women leaders, entrepreneurs and change-makers for their outstanding contributions in the arena of media, entertainment and marketing industries.

    The panel comprising Anika Parashar (The Woman’s Company founder and CEO), Sukhleen Aneja (Good Glamm Group’s CEO of beauty and FMCG brands division), Deepali Naair (IBM director – digital sales, India & ASEANZK digital sales centre, Bangalore ), Elizabeth Venkatraman (Kotak Mahindra Bank joint president – consumer, commercial and wealth marketing), Kranti Sarma (Technicolor Creative Studio India head of studio), Neha Kant (Clovia founder and director) and Preeti Jhangiani (actress, model and Pro Panja League’s founder-director) was moderated by IndianTelevision.com founder, CEO and editor-in-chief Anil NM Wanvari.

    Answering the big question, Technicolor’s Kranti Sarma and IBM’s Naair put forward a positive viewpoint, but with a hint of realism. Sharing her experience at Technicolor, Sarma stated, “There are huge opportunities in the creative space right now, but for some reason, women are not coming forward to take them up; the small percentage who do, do not stay. There has been a lack of self-motivated and self-driven women in the field. This is why we have taken to a women-oriented hiring policy.”

    Quoting studies that showed more women leaving the workforce than men, and the pipeline of women who will move into senior leadership roles getting shorter, IBM’s Deepali Naair said, “The real challenge to bringing about inclusion is in building a gender-agnostic society. In the last few years there has been this narrative for women by women, but the larger part of the corporate world is run by men. It is they who need to be convinced to get involved as sponsors and angels etc.”

    Talking of plausible solutions she added, “Moving towards a gig economy in terms of how you solve for people coming and working for gigs, how you pay them, how does that unit economics work, will create a truly inclusive future for both men and women.”

    The speakers unanimously agreed on the need for a more holistic societal and cultural change to encourage women to follow their dreams and passion. The collaborative effort, they said, will involve everyone, beginning with the parents and teachers to mentors and bosses.

    “Education is key for women to understand, acknowledge and appreciate their rights. That’s where the journey begins. Moving ahead, big companies will have to drive the change by creating a culture of diversity where women feel more comfortable in bringing their perspective to the table,” said Preeti Jhangiani of Pro Panja League.

    Good Glamm Group’s Aneja insisted on the need for more positive stories being told by women about their sponsors, as well as people and processes that aided their professional journeys. “The involvement of men in this initiative is extremely important simply because they are the majority. We need more positive stories about them, and how they encouraged women to come forward. How they managed expectations, priorities and careers to enable a flexible workplace environment.”

    For Elizabeth Venkatraman, financial independence is the most crucial requirement for women empowerment. “While a lot of glass ceilings are being broken, bringing more and more women into formal financial services is the sign of true independence, which is something we are working towards,” she said

    Adding on to the point, Clovia’s Kant remarked, “The society has skewed us to think it’s okay to not be financially independent; to take the backseat and allow the men to lead. This needs to change. As parents we will all have to be careful of the cues we pass on to the children.”

    Anika Parashar, whose professional journey has been all about supporting women through her entrepreneurial ventures, noted, “Today, women in India and around the world are taking strides in business. While there were many who dropped out in absence of support, there are also several examples where help has come in various forms – as sponsors, angels, evangelists who believed in them. Women need to stop apologising and speak with pride.”

    Good Glamm Group acquires ScoopWhoop, signals foray into men’s grooming space

    Mumbai: GoodGlamm Group, the parent company of direct-to-consumer (D2C) beauty and personal care brand MyGlamm, has acquired the new-age digital media platform ScoopWhoop Media. This is the second acquisition by the company in less than a month and the fourth big buyout for the group after The Moms Co, BabyChakra, and content and commerce platform POPxo, which it acquired last year.

    With the ScoopWhoop takeover, the company now intends to build its venture into the men’s grooming category.

    “I have been an ardent user and fan of ScoopWhoop for a long time. It’s a privilege to have Sattvik, Rishi, Sriparna join the Good Glamm Group family and have ScoopWhoop accelerate the Group’s foray into building a content-to-commerce platform for the burgeoning male grooming and personal care segment,” commented Good Glamm group founder and CEO Darpan Sanghvi.
