The summit also opened an unexpected milestone for us, our first pitching opportunity in front of multiple investors and the most renowned Wadhwani Foundation. As we engaged with stakeholders, many were deeply interested in how we empower students, women, and the manufacturing ecosystem. Industrial experts, innovators, ecosystem enablers etc. explored collaboration, partnership, and mentoring possibilities with us. But what truly made the experience meaningful was our interaction with women entrepreneurs across all stages of life, from students to married women, each stepping into our stall with ideas, ambition, and the drive to build something of their own. Speaking to global women innovators from the UK, Brazil, Russia, and the UAE reinforced how powerfully women are shaping the sustainable innovation space. One of the most heartening moments we witnessed was men who shared that they had registered companies for their wives so they could start their entrepreneurial journey, proof that real change is taking root.

DPurpose Foundation had the opportunity to provide volunteership to several young women, and they showed every bit of their potential from the very first moment. They  benefitted immensely through direct interactions with key stakeholders, global speakers, investors, industry leaders, incubators, and accelerators. They engaged confidently with delegates, represented DPF with clarity, and built meaningful networks while strengthening their communication and professional skills. Each volunteer explored different roles, from visitor engagement to photography, learning teamwork, coordination, and leadership in a real-world global environment. At the end of the summit, every participant received a volunteering certificate and was also offered an internship opportunity, ensuring that this experience became a stepping stone for their future growth.
