“When passion meets purpose, magic happens”:  Meeru Gupta, VP, Bata India

India’s Women’s World Cup triumph is far more than a sporting milestone; it’s a story of courage, conviction, and the power of belief. This win belongs to every girl who was ever told, “This is not for you,” and yet chose to dream anyway. This victory reminds us that when passion meets purpose, magic happens. These girls are pure magic, and they’ve made every Indian proud.

The Women’s World Cup win is a beautiful life lesson for every professional, especially women striving to make their mark. You may feel unseen today, but that doesn’t mean you’re unworthy. You may be waiting for your chance, but that doesn’t mean it won’t come. Every effort, every quiet moment of preparation, is shaping you for your time. When that moment arrives, it belongs to those who never stopped believing. This victory reflects the power of faith, teamwork, discipline, and resilience, qualities every leader must embrace. It teaches us to stay focused even when no one is watching, to rise above doubt, and to let our work speak for itself. Let’s continue pushing boundaries, supporting one another, and breaking barriers because when dedication meets opportunity, the world takes notice.
