Hello Readers
New Newsletter Alert!
This week’s WER Newsletter begins with a focus on National Startup Day 2026. The event has taken itself to the forefront as it marks the celebration of the thriving startup ecosystem in India, especially with women founders.
With the India Startup Initiative completing a decade, we look at the unprecedented contributions of women entrepreneurs in different spaces, Tier 2 cities working towards consumer brands development and the Indian startup ecosystem’s future being shaped by the increasing trend of leadership among these women.
Furthermore, we highlight the significance of having women at the steering wheel in various fields, ranging from Saina Nehwal’s retirement to Smriti Irani’s participation at Davos in 2026 to promote gender equality on a global platform.
We also bring to you an enlightening conversation with Asha Menon, Vice President, Global Customs Regulatory Affairs, DHL Express, who has graciously agreed to share her remarkable life experiences and insights on leadership with purpose.
We also feature an enlightening conversation with Achal Khanna, CEO, SHRM India, APAC, and MENA, sharing her perspective on the ways in which AI is impacting the skill requirements and building more inclusive work environments.
Each of these represents the progress of women in the areas of entrepreneurship, sports, the field of leadership, and the labor sector.

• RedBus Appoints Divya Amarnath as VP & Head of HR
