The KE BLR Women’s Meeting, held on 17 January 2026 at the Rotary Club, Ulsoor, convened 34 women entrepreneurs for a thoughtfully curated morning of learning, dialogue, and meaningful connection.
The session opened with a warm Indian breakfast and was seamlessly anchored by Aishwarya Toppo, whose composed presence set an engaging and professional tone. The opening prayer by Laura Gonsalves grounded the gathering in gratitude and purpose.
Laveena D’souza extended a warm welcome to Mr. Silvian Noronha of the Rotary Club, expressing sincere appreciation for his continued encouragement of women entrepreneurs and for graciously providing the venue. A fruit hamper, aligned with the session’s focus on nutrition and well-being, was presented as a token of appreciation.
The morning progressed with an interactive health-and-nutrition ice-breaker, followed by an engaging Nutrition Bingo, fostering participation and collective energy.
The highlight of the meeting was the session “Women’s Nutrition Uncovered” led by Shona Prabhu, Founder of Nutrifymydiet.
