00:00 Ladies and gentlemen, to set the context for the evening and to tell us what Outlook Business

00:05 Women of Worth is all about, please help me welcome on stage with a warm round of applause

00:10 Editor Outlook Business, Ms. N. Mahalakshmi.

00:17 Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. What an absolute delight to host this evening in Calcutta.

00:33 It was two years ago that I came for only the second time to Calcutta to essentially

00:41 understand the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Calcutta. We had a property for women entrepreneurs

00:47 which we had developed about four years ago and we used to do about 15 women entrepreneurial

00:54 stories in a special edition and host them in an award function in Bombay. And we wanted

00:59 to expand that and, you know, bring in more and more women entrepreneur stories to mainstream

01:06 media and with that intention two years ago I came here and met a whole bunch of entrepreneurs,

01:13 inheritors and found remarkable set of stories. And that gave me also the insight that we

01:21 couldn't do justice to women entrepreneurs by just putting in 15-20 stories in a special

01:28 edition every year. There were far many more beautiful stories to be told. So last year

01:34 we decided that we should create a full-fledged portal to tell these stories. So here we are

01:42 with wow.outlookbusiness.com which profiles stories of remarkable women entrepreneurs.

01:49 And here we are, this year we are doing a four-city tour and showcasing whole bunch

01:54 of women entrepreneurs across cities. And we are super excited to be in Calcutta. Thank

02:00 you very much for this enormous response. And to the women entrepreneurs of Calcutta,

02:06 kudos, congratulations. Look forward to showcasing lot more inspiring stories and engaging a

02:12 lot more. And I can't speak Bengali but I can sing. So just a couple of lines in Bengali,

02:20 something I learnt in my college days. But I just remember it was apt even for somebody

02:28 who is starting out as an entrepreneur because it's pretty much like when you pass out of

02:32 college. It's entrepreneurial journey is full of hope, dreams, you're starry-eyed, you want

02:38 to change the world, you want to change your own life. So here it is.

02:43 (Sings in Bengali) (Applause)

02:50 (Speaks in Bengali) (Applause)

02:57 (Speaks in Bengali) (Applause)

03:04 (Speaks in Bengali) (Applause)

03:11 (Speaks in Bengali) (Applause)

03:18 Wow, Calcutta, hip hip. Hip hip. Hip hip. Thank you so much.

03:23 (Applause)

03:24 (End of session)
