HerKey successfully concluded ‘HerRising 2024’ in Gurugram this September. As part of India’s largest hybrid conference and career fair dedicated to women, the event provided a dynamic platform for learning and networking, bringing together diverse professionals across various industries.
HerRising 2024 in Gurugram featured a dynamic mix of keynote speeches and workshops, all designed to inspire women to thrive in their careers while embracing their multifaceted roles in their lives. The event perfectly embodied this year’s theme, #ToBeHer, celebrating the strength, resilience, and ambition of women from across India.
The event introduced a groundbreaking report, The Broken Rung: Challenges in Women’s Career Progression, a collaborative effort by HerKey and the Prin. L.N. Welingkar Institute of Management, Bengaluru. This report highlights the systemic barriers preventing Indian women from advancing into managerial roles. With data-driven insights and actionable recommendations, it seeks to foster greater gender equality in the workplace and drive meaningful change.
Muru Arjunan, CTO, of HerKey, emphasised that usually a woman’s career graph looks very different from a man’s. Muru also dwelled upon the importance of allies in a woman’s career. For every HER she needs a ForHer and HerKey brings both together on a common platform so that every woman gets what she needs to advance in her career and beyond with the power of communities.
The event offered a valuable platform for women to network with like-minded professionals, learn from industry leaders, and explore new career opportunities. The success of the Gurugram gathering paves the way for the upcoming HerRising 2024 events in Mumbai and Bengaluru. As HerRising expands across India, it stays true to its mission of empowering women and creating an environment where they can thrive.
