In Association with 
To celebrate International Women’s Day, we hosted the ‘Women of Worth Conclave.’ The conclave had multiple sessions where influencers from various walks of life came together to discuss and deliberate on key issues, moderated by NDTV’s anchors. The aim was to awaken the country to issues of hidden disparities and discuss a range of subjects to highlight the evolving role of women in India.
L’Oréal Paris in association with NDTV, has launched the Women of Worth Awards 2016, a campaign to scout, recognise and award achievements of brave and driven Indian women who have committed themselves to distinguish their own lives by making a difference in the lives of others.
