Gurugram, May 2, 2025: BML Munjal University (BMU), a Hero Group initiative, hosted the third edition of its flagship Women in Leadership (WIL) Conference. Centered around the theme “Power, Progress, and Possibilities,” the event brought together gathering of leaders, experts, academicians, and young professionals to champion and celebrate women in leadership. Organized in partnership with the NHRDN Rewari-Alwar Chapter, the conference served as a dynamic platform for knowledge sharing, collaboration, and inspiration.
The conference commenced with a welcome address by Ms. Swati Munjal, President of BML Munjal University, and opening remarks by Vice Chancellor Prof. Shyam Menon. Ms. Tanu Kashyap, Director General of NIFT, delivered the keynote, offering reflections on leadership in a rapidly evolving world. A fireside chat featuring Ms. Mamta Saikia, Dr. Pratik Modi, and Mr. Dharm Rakshit highlighted the role of inclusive ecosystems in driving meaningful change.
Speaking around the same, Ms. Swati Munjal, President, BML Munjal University, remarked, “At BML Munjal University, we see leadership not as a title but as a responsibility—one that calls for courage, empathy, and the will to uplift others. Women are not here to adapt to old leadership paradigms; we are here to reshape them. Through initiatives like the Women in Leadership program and Mera Business, we are nurturing changemakers not just for boardrooms, but for communities and grassroots as well. When women lead with authenticity, feminity and purpose, the impact extends far beyond organizations—it transforms societies, systems, and the future itself.”
The Women in Leadership Conference 2025 stood as a testament to BMU’s continued commitment to fostering inclusive leadership and empowering women to break barriers, drive innovation, and lead with impact. Tanu Kashyap, Director General, National Institute of Fashion Technology, remarked, “True power stems not from authority, but from the possibilities we embrace. leadership is about providing direction and motivation to those we work with, creating an environment where people can thrive. Leadership is not about being at the top, but about the positive impact we can have on others along the way.”
The panel discussion on “The Future of Work: AI, Innovation, and the Changing Leadership Landscape” brought together leaders from IBM, JSW Group, Hero FinCorp, and Kent Engineering to explore the impact of AI on leadership, skills, and workplace dynamics. In the latter half, participants engaged in workshops around topics such as AI-led leadership strategies and business storytelling.
The 2025 edition of the Women in Leadership Conference reinforced BML Munjal University’s commitment to advancing inclusive leadership. The event provided a focused platform for dialogue, skill-building, and collaboration—equipping participants with perspectives and tools to navigate and lead in a rapidly changing world.
