The WomCon Business Carnival is a tribute to all such women who have dared to dream and taken leaps of faith to embark on their entrepreneurial journeys. It is also a platform to inspire and educate the next set of women as they prepare to take the plunge. Kotak believes in Naari Shakti – the power of half a billion Indian women to make the impossible possible.
