Radhika Subramanian, Director of Finance at Ennoventure, Inc. – “The theme ‘Accelerate Action’ calls for urgent and meaningful steps toward gender equality, recognizing that progress is only possible when women are empowered as leaders, innovators and changemakers. Studies consistently show that organizations embracing gender diversity are more resilient, forward-thinking and successful. A report by the World Economic Forum highlights that closing gender gaps in economic participation could boost global GDP by $28 trillion by 2025, making it an undeniable testament to the power of inclusive growth.

Women bring unique perspectives that drive innovation, encourage collaboration, and create lasting impact. Their leadership is not just beneficial; it is essential for sustainable progress. At Ennoventure, Inc., we believe that accelerating action means creating real opportunities for women to thrive, breaking barriers, and championing equitable access to leadership and growth.

This International Women’s Day, we reaffirm our commitment to advancing gender parity, promoting an environment where women can lead with confidence, and inspiring collective action to build a more inclusive, prosperous future for all.”

2. Pantherun Technologies

Tiffany Chan, Co-Founder and COO, Pantherun Technologies – “Women have always been resilient, strong, and capable of shaping the world around them. It’s inspiring to see more women today pursuing their interests fearlessly, breaking outdated stereotypes, and driving progress in every field. While we’ve made meaningful strides toward gender equality, the journey continues.

This year’s theme, ‘Accelerate Action for Gender Equality,’ is a powerful call to push forward with bold, decisive steps. By challenging bias, dismantling barriers, and creating more opportunities, we can foster a future where women thrive, in all fields including technologies like cybersecurity and data protection, where diversity strengthens innovation.

At Pantherun Technologies, we believe that true progress comes from action, not just intention. We are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace, championing mentorship, and ensuring that talent—not gender—defines opportunity. Our focus on gender equality isn’t just about fairness; it’s about building a stronger, more secure digital world where diverse perspectives drive meaningful breakthroughs.”

3. Onebeat

Sevonne Eliyahu, Chief Revenue Officer, Onebeat – “Women have always been a driving force in the retail industry, making up 60% of its workforce. Despite their significant presence, few hold leadership roles, limiting their influence on decisions that shape a key consumer base – women. Increasing female representation in decision-making positions will bring diverse perspectives to the table and help retail tech companies address intricate consumer challenges across all genders.

As technology and AI reshape the industry, bridging the gap between businesses’ perception of consumers and their actual needs is more critical than ever. Globally, women make up just 22% of the AI workforce. Given their pivotal role in retail and tech growth, advancing women into leadership is not just about inclusivity —it will also drive consumer-centric innovation and industry-wide progress.

International Women’s Day is an opportunity to address these gaps. In line with this year’s theme of unlocking equal rights, power and opportunities, intentional efforts must be made to uplift women. Policies focusing on tech upskilling, training and mentorship can drive meaningful change, leading to better consumer-centric practices and a more equitable future.”

4. Visionet Systems

Suvarna Nikam, Global HR Head, Visionet Systems – “Progress on gender equity and inclusivity demands more than intent—it calls for fast-paced action, clear goals with measurable impact, committed tracking, and above all, an unapologetic drive to learn and grow. We must start early, cultivate strong internal sponsors and champions across our teams and organization, and foster a culture of shared learning.

At Visionet, we believe the most powerful inspiration comes from within. Through platforms like Women of Visionet, we provide a safe space for our people to share their stories—stories that are often more impactful, relatable, and actionable than those seen across the larger industry. By learning from one another, we accelerate progress and drive meaningful change. Real change happens when we lead by example, transforming ambition into decisive action and tangible outcomes. This International Women’s Day, let’s not just celebrate—let’s accelerate action!”
