The Lloyd Summit 2016 event with Blogadda was a great opportunity for women professionals, business women, entrepreneurs and those working in the corporate world to know that nothing is impossible for women. There were many sessions where I got to hear about many experiences from CEOs, Writers, Singers, Professionals, Comedians and people from different fields explaining how a woman is not less than a man when it comes to any field.
1. The Opening Chat with Apurva, Urjita and Bhawna made me aware of the issues and household problems when it comes to women writing about sex erotica novels and how they are frowned upon by their family members. Urjita and Bhawna gave their experiences when their family supported them and how there were 18 writers for their novel 18+ wherein the main focus was on sex humor and the stories about these 18 personalities coming together and making their book a combination of humor and boldness. These novels were also being sold at the event and Apurva and other writers were signing the book for the attendees.
2. The CXO Panel with Nipun, Shijini and Reena were quite open about the issues that women face in today's world. Shijini spoke about her inspiration when she saw women from Delhi working late nights and not fearing despite Delhi being an unsafe place while Reena said that her father wanted her to work and be independent as she needed to stand on her feet even after getting married. Nipun said that he introduced unisex machines to appeal to both genders and he also added his own experience where a customer was cheated with regards to the after sales service by a repairer. Reena sais that the meaning of beauty means celebrating oneself and Nykaa being a brand wherein women can easily access the app and also read articles about tips on enhancing their beauty.
3. The Dare to Be with Neeti and Sonam who came individually was more appealing due to the experiences that were shared by Sonam and Neeti who belong to the entertainment field. Sonam's session was pretty short and she showed us a video of her song while Neeti was fun to watch where she said that she has received assignments wherein the sponsors spoke about women empowerment but asked her about charging high fees. She also laughed at the fact that she was referred to as "Dear Sir" in written applications. I had a blast hearing her humorous experiences and how she faced the gender biased world when it comes to comedy.
4. The Future of Work with Sonali, Rega, Deepali and Neha was more informative wherein Deepali mentioned that one should consider their career not as a 100-meter race but as a marathon. She being an experienced advisor was more brief about women taking maternity leaves and being considered non-working after their delivery. She also says that women should spend the money to have maids and a driver so that they can concentrate on their work and it helps them in the long run. Rega talks about her training session where she allows her employees to learn on their own and guides them at times. It was interesting to hear these women entrepreneurs share their experience and talk about different working experiences.
5. The Fireside Chat with Venky was the most entertaining one where the host introduced him with cheers and he representing the KKR team made the crowd even more lively. He spoke about how Jai Mehta asked him to join the team and he became the CEO without having to give any interview. He also said that one should be honest and confront the people openly (as he spoke about how he had to inform Saurav Ganguly about the team change) instead of avoiding any confrontation. It was interesting to hear how he planned a strategy during the bidding sessions and the marketing team was managed by him to give the exposure to all the sponsors of KKR.
6. The Good Girls Show with Varun was entertaining where he spoke about his early childhood and school days where his friends had a different idea about children being born and how he was made to leave while the Pyar Hua Ikrar Hua song was played. He said that feminism is not about equality but about one gender oppressing the other and I completely agree with him on that as feminism these days is misunderstood.
7. The Lightening Pitches introduced 3 entrepreneurial women who were from different fields and they spoke about their websites they plan to launch soon and how they will be a tough competition to the already famous brands like Amazon and Flipkart.
