I think we should invite Saiba Gul who is an
engineer turned entrepreneur and is passionate about women empowerment,
especially in South Asia. She was born and brought up in Lahore and is an
alumna of MIT. She had worked on
low-cost solar lighting for post-Tsunami refugees.
At present, she is
associated with ‘Popinjay’
Brand handmade, quality fashion accessories by actively engaging
skilled artisans, and embroiderers,
especially women.
The women are given practical training and very good wages so that they could be self-reliant and work with dignity which eventually leads to uplifting the social status of such artisan women.

I think that this kind of empowerment project is inspiring. Thanks for this suggestion Aayushi.
