Harmeet Singh, VP Marketing, Merchandising, E commerce, The Body Shop India says, "In a corporate career spanning 20+ years. I have seen numerous instances of disparity between men and women - women are often disadvantaged to succeed despite being as capable and more. Self-belief has played a big role in my journey and I truly hope young girls everywhere believe in themselves and have the support of their family and community to achieve what they want to be, I am an advocate for gender equality and my dream for a better world is one where men and women are treated equally.”
