- Dimpy Tolani Kulchandani was celebrated by the Ahmedabad Deputy Collector Maitridevi Sisodia, during the iRise Weekender Series on September 20, 2025
- The award recognized her work as a social activist, entrepreneur and influencer
On Saturday, 20th September 2025, the city of Ahmedabad witnessed a special moment when Dimpy Tolani Kulchandani, the founder of She Splash – a leading Indian women's community – and co-founder of Parvesh Utsav Foundation, was awarded by Ahmedabad Deputy Collector Maitridevi Sisodia at the iRise Weekender Series hosted by Upshot Brand Media.
The award is to recognize Dimpy's unique, continuous work as an influencer, a flourishing entrepreneur, and a social change activist, to empower women of India. The event also represented the ever-growing influence of Indian women entrepreneurs across the nation.
Dimpy was honored by Maitridevi for her leadership in connecting and building a community of women where collaboration and mentorship are alive. In her acceptance speech, Dimpy said she was dedicating the award to "every woman that was doing the work quietly, and silently building their brand," which is a nod to her work to support women wishing to find a mentorship to grow their business - no different than the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
Dimpy's She Splash is evolving into a leading force for women in empowerment, entrepreneurship, and networking.
The initiative is becoming a movement for Indian women entrepreneurs, assisting with the conversion of ideas into businesses, and providing a platform to share success stories and empower women across the nation!
Dimpy's acceptance in Ahmedabad indicates the surge of the women's network in India and the grit of women changemakers, as women increasingly take on leadership positions in various fields.
With She Splash and the Parvesh Utsav Foundation, Dimpy works to scale up these initiatives nationally, filling gaps, offering mentorship, and opening doors for future women leaders.
The iRise Weekender Series, hosted by Upshot Brand Media in partnership with Indriya Jewellers (a venture of Aditya Birla Group), provided an opportunity to recognize changemakers like Dimpy.
She Splash also served as the community partner for the program, securing its status as a leading platform for Indian women entrepreneurs.
These partnerships provide accountability, professional networking opportunities, mentoring, and increased visibility, which have led to initiatives like the She Splash Awards to highlight the remarkable stories of women leaders.
