The Forbes India Under 30 summit has grown to symbolize much more than just a list of young achievers; it represents the ambitions, innovation, and persistence of a generation that challenges the status quo, the company said in a press release.
“Forbes India Under 30 has been more than just a list — it is a reflection of the aspirations, ambitions, and tenacity of a generation that is willing to challenge the status quo and redefine success. Our 2024 cohort is a testament to the fact that age is no barrier to impact, and creativity knows no bounds,” said Brian Carvalho, Editor, Forbes India.
The summit will feature a significant panel discussion titled “Women Who Win”, moderated by Neha Bothra, Associate Editor, Forbes India. The panel will include influential speakers such as:
• Navya Naveli Nanda, Co-founder of Nimaya Foundation
• Anoushka Rathod, prominent digital content creator
• Seethalakshmy Narayanan, Vice President, Premji Invest
This discussion will focus on the accomplishments of young women leaders who are reshaping industries, fostering innovation, and overcoming obstacles to drive change.
The summit’s presenting partner, L’Oréal Paris, will host the ‘Women of Worth’ session, which will spotlight the resilience, creativity, and leadership of young women achievers. This session aims not only to celebrate their successes but also to inspire the next generation of women changemakers.
The process to finalize this year’s Under 30 list involved thorough research, interviews with industry experts, and extensive media analysis. Forbes India also invited applications and nominations through their platform, engaging with audiences on social media. After expert consultations, the final winners were selected from nearly a thousand nominations, ensuring a diverse and competitive lineup.
