The fifth edition of India?s largest forum for women professionals deliberates
upon potential and alternative work opportunities for aspirational women

New Delhi, July 12, 2017: Technology is changing professional opportunities in an extraordinary way. In fact, it is ensuring a sustainable work-life balance for women who are unable to be a part of a full-time organization as well as for those relying on self-employment. Besides just work, it is opening up new avenues for support, mentorship and networking. These were some of the major highpoints of the MIA SHEROES Summit 2017 held in association with KlayPrep School and Daycares, Medela and Paytm today.

In partnership with CNBC, Inc42, 91Springboard, the mentorpreneurs, Spacewhiz and Styling Partner, FableStreet, the 5th Edition of the MIA SHEROES Summit at Delhi was themed as#FutureOfWork. The event focused on the core endeavour of SHEROES -- India?s largest platform ecosystem for ambitious and aspirational women ?influencing more and more women to join either the workforce, micro-entrepreneurship, remote work or leadership roles and enabling them to tap into the #FutureOfWork.

On the sidelines of the summit, Sairee Chahal, Founder & CEO, SHEROES, said: The SHEROES Summit every year unveils the gateway to the finest opportunities, resources and conversations for women. This year we have associated with MIA by Tanishq the popular jewellery collection dedicated to women from every walk of life and it is a matter of pride for us because both SHEROES and MIA are celebrating their potential of balancing work and home with ease and equal enthusiasm. This year?s event is a reflection of our efforts on expediting more and more women to maximize their potential in determining work opportunities for the future.

\"Women today aspire to leave a mark in the world around them and be powerhouses ? they want to head the operations of an organisation or a career in a dream job, simultaneously also be a mom, wife, daughter. While women have eased themselves into their roles and have proved to be strong managers, it\'s important to acknowledge that women often have to choose between motherhood and careers. Having onsite day care centres at workplaces can solve this major hurdle that holds women back. \"said Priya Krishnan CEO Founding Years Learning Solutions
