Hannilee Fish
I am an international speaker, best-selling author of One Minute Miracles, and a “Resilience Strategist” – which means I guide people in overcoming challenges with simple practical tools and habits that can be easily incorporated into life. I am currently training to be a barrister, and I also speak to and work with many organisations about resilience and “tools on the go” Believe it or not, we are all under constant stress - any time the pressures of life come at us our nervous system becomes overwhelmed. I have identified and collected tools to bring people back into balance so they can feel peaceful, more productive and more present – they can achieve more and still have time to have a cup of tea afterwards! Between the ages of 16 and 23, I was an athlete – I played for Tottenham Hotspur Ladies FC, National League basketball and I coached soccer in the US. Aside from the obvious things sport taught me so early on – (focus under pressure, communication skills and team work), I can truly say that sports “saved” me – from difficult situations I had experienced in my young life. -

She began doing henna out of curiosity in 2012. She was often given requests for it for the various mothers she was working with as a birth doula and Blessing Way / Sacred Event facilitator, it seemed natural for her to pick it up and give it a try. Doing henna turned out to be something that brings her a sense of peace while allowing her to express her creative side. Her style is abstract, flowy with a sometimes tribal feel, though she is good at looking at something and replicating it. She is easy to be around with a great sense of humor and the ability to put those around her at ease and make them feel safe. -

Karla Walker
A person´s attitude and approach to challenge are what most enable them to learn, achieve and contribute, and turn out to be of greater significance than inborn talent, economic status or family background. Excitingly, the right skills can be taught. This uplifting conclusion, drawn from several years working as a teacher in Inner London State Schools and in Central and South American not for profit education, has inspired me to create the HUMAN education programme for young people. I was blessed to have attended an outstanding independent school, where students were empowered to view themselves as active, responsible participants in their learning. I later understood the wisdom and importance of their approach, viewing success holistically, rather than solely based on external, summative outcomes. After my BA and Postgraduate degrees in East Anglia, I returned to London to teach, and saw first-hand how internal motivation and attitudes affected learning; time and time again, it was a positive, open mindset which most enabled students to process complex ideas and master new skills. I am excited and honored to share these findings with the Women´s Economic Forum: and hear those of others as we work together to realise this profound social change’ -

Kavita Devgan
Kavita Devgan has many avatars: she is a popular health columnist, practicing nutritionist and weight management consultant with several hundreds of successful weight loss patients. She offers practical, customised programmes that deliver weight loss the right way – via habit modifications – to ensure long term results. She is also a health columnist with premier Media Groups in India and has been writing for last 15 years, besides being a prolific and feted speaker too. She is the author of the book Don’t Diet! 50 Habits of Thin People (Jaico).
About the book Generic and non specific diet plans don’t work. They just can’t. In fact the focus must move away from ‘diets’ to ‘eating right’, and from following ‘fads’ to changing ‘habits’. Because the only process that actually delivers lasting weight loss results is changing the way-you-eat
. But is it possible? Yes it is!
All you need is a change at the basic level – the way the mind thinks and the body reacts. Thin people are thin because they have habits which keep them so. Consciously or sub consciously they make the right choices; most have automated the process. These stay healthy habits are usually so deeply embedded in them, that they are almost subconscious.
This book will help you identify this ‘stay thin’ set of habits - all 50 of them spread across ‘Mind’, ‘Body’ and ‘Lifestyle’ - and give you workable cues to adopt them easily. Then you too can go through life happy and fit. And thin.
This is your best possible bet to lose unwanted excess weight (yes, all of it) - and keep it off.
Don’t wait, Begin now! -

Her childhood dream was to become a police officer but back in India that was not a job encouraged for women. Being able to speak three languages - English, Punjabi and Hindi - puts her in good stead to positively engage with the community across Auckland thanks to its growing diversity she believes . There is an under-reporting culture among ethnic communities so she wants to encourage them to have trust and confidence in the police. Having come to New Zealand as an immigrant herself at the age of 26, She says she lived many of the same experiences immigrants face in a new place. She hopes to organise a range of cultural events and meet with different groups across West Auckland. -

Mira Sai
A Philosophy major from Lady Sri Ram College, N. Delhi, known as Arti Gupta at the time, Mira Sai also pursued studies in Child Developmental Psycho-Pathology at Stanford University, CA and World Religion studies in Ojai, CA, where she was ordained as a spiritual minister. She has also studied and practiced as a highly successful Financial Advisor, well-known as Arti Gupta - A Name People Trust, designing financial portfolios for corporations and individuals, including the formation of Wills and Trusts, and receiving numerous awards every year. She also practices as a Realtor in N. California, specializing in interior design, construction and refurbishing properties. At present, Mira Sai is the Founder/CEO of a 501(c) (3) Non-profit Public Charitable Organization, The Sai Foundation in California and Co-Founder of Holistic Living, Inc. USA, a company specializing in Hospice programs and Medical Tourism.
She became the CEO of her own large scale wholesale clothing business, with her showroom on Broadway, New York City, USA, at the young age of 23 years, when a holiday to New York in 1973 proved quite significant, becoming as it did, a permanent move to America.
Having moved to California in 1982, she served on the Board of Trustees of the Fremont Temple in California and also served as Vice-President of the Nargis Dutt Cancer Foundation of the Northern CA Chapter, with Shri. Sunil Dutt M.P., organizing fundraisers in the U.S. and sending medical equipment for cancer patients to hospitals in India. A substantial donor, she was very often seen at California political fundraisers for Jerry Brown, Diane Feinstein, Pete Wilson and the like. Highly regarded, she was invited as Guest of Honor at public Indian functions and Indian Associations which were invariably always covered by media.
Enjoying a high-end lifestyle, Mira Sai’s life took a 360 degree turn, with a 'near death' experience in a fatal car accident, while driving her Mercedes Benz convertible in 1994. She experienced going to the ‘Other Side’, and then mysteriously returning back - alive!
With this profound near-death experience opening her up to the Higher Awareness of the purpose of life and the Truth of her reality, it was inevitable for her normal, ambitious, worldly life to take a new turn and enter into a dramatic phase of spiritual orientation, with a far deeper and higher purpose. This was not about going into the forest - but living in the world - with head in the forest... In essence, it was about being in the world - not of it - but for it….
Having gained the ultimate experience of oneness with the Supreme Consciousness when she was on the ‘Other Side’, the realization of the impermanence of the drama of the ‘life’ movie and the permanence of the screen it is played upon, became experientially clear. Detachment from the world and worldly activities set in, and with her inner guidance prompting her, she walked away without looking back, from her name, fame, wealth and properties to Sai Baba’s ashram in Puttaparthi. For five years, she focused and delved deeper into her higher self, while living a simple life in the ashram...at which time, she was also blessed with the rare occurrence of a name change, from Arti Gupta to ‘Mira Sai’ - given in an interview by Sai Baba.
Upon her return to California, her non-profit organization, The Sai Foundation opened a multi-faith Sai temple-sanctuary in San Jose, CA for five years till 2011, which fed more than 30,000 people over a five year period and distributed blankets and clothes for the homeless in winter. For the hundreds of people who visited, it offered meditation, stress relief yoga, counseling, her own invention of a Sai Yoga program, devotional and spiritual talks, professionally organized spiritual functions, prayers, regular devotional singing and many more activities of like nature.
Mira Sai has also had singularly rare experiences in the course of her numerous journeys to highly sacred places in the Himalayas. Climbing perilously steep mountains in snow and heat, bathing and meditating in almost a dozen holy rivers, in freezing temperatures, and meditating in powerful caves in the Himalayas, as also at Mt. Shasta in the US, and in Buddhist monasteries in Thailand are only some of the remarkable spiritual engagements she has been involved in over the years.
At present, she is in the process of building a world-class professional recording studio in Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s ashram in Puttaparthi, India, to provide a platform for musicians/artistes for creative expression of their talents in devotional music and other classical genres. Furthermore, the installation by her of an Industrial Drinking Water RO plant in Puttaparthi, is quenching the thirst of more than 2500 people every day.
She has personally narrated and produced two professional Audio books of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s ‘Vidya Vahini’ and ‘Geetha Vahini’ and a devotional songs CD called Sai Ananda. She enjoys painting and is an author too, having recently published her first book, “Enstasy – Standing Inside Oneself” and a beautifully rendered Music CD Album with poem narration.
The last 40 odd years, with the grace of her spiritual master, Sai Baba, have seen Mira Sai negotiate with aplomb a multi-faceted journey... From being a CEO at the age of 23 and tackling different facets of the corporate business world of America to being drawn into the mighty spiritual world; being a millionaire and then leaving it all without a murmur; becoming an ascetic and then re-entering the world again for good works; traveling extensively, and being at ease with both a prince or a pauper... All these are only some of the momentous life experiences gathered by Mira Sai, and which have shaped her unique personality. A philanthropist, non-judgmental, compassionate and a loving soul, Mira Sai has garnered a wealth of experience in many varied areas. The trials and tribulations, highs and lows, gains and losses, that came her way, have been tackled with equanimity and courage. Fame, fortune, wealth, all courted her, but it was the one life-changing experience of 'the accident', that put it all into clear perspective for her... bringing as it did, Realization of the non-permanence of it all… and the Truth of her own reality and the reality of all Existence… “You Are the Power, You Are the Truth, You Are the Love, You Are… ALL that you Seek!”

Natasha Mahindra
Let me begin by, when I started taking my practice seriously, and finally very slowly wanting to become a teacher of this amazing ancient system of yoga; if I may even dare. Diving deeper into my practice, starting from Bihar school of yoga, which I will always thank for my fundamentals, I discovered Vinyasa. I did my first teacher training in Ashtanga vinyasa, 7 years ago, followed by another teacher training in Hatha Vinyasa. As teachers we never stop learning and thats what took me deeper into yoga therapy, now certified as a yoga therapist from the Kripalu center in Massachusetts.Working at the Mahatma Gandhi Medical college in Pondicherry changed my perspective towards yoga and its benefits in the medical enviroment. I started going beyond the asana and discovered sufi whirling , ancient systems of practice for women and yoga for children . I now run my own yoga retreat company , joining together my love for travel and yoga. Anam Cara Yoga retreats has opened my horizons and we have done retreats from the Andaman islands to Himachal, Kerala, Goa , Coorg and Kabini. The adventure never stops. https://www.facebook.com/anamcarayogaretreats/ www.anamcarayogaretreats.com -

Meher Gupta, Director Contemporary Connect is a force to reckon with in the world of Luxury Brand Management. Contemporary Connect stood out from its inception in 2014, started off as the brain child of one girl who wanted to bridge the gap between Indian brands and their International contemporaries. A name to reckon with in the world of golf from a young age, placing at top five in the under eighteen category, this tomboy had her first brush with fashion walking the ramp for Amrapali jewels and hasn't looked back since. Awarded a scholarship for her first year at Lancaster on the basis of her golf, Meher took a stand and decided to pursue Corporate Law and Marketing in the United Kingdom, rejecting offers from LSR, Stephens and JMC. Working with Coca Cola after her undergrad she realized that her direction lay in Niche markets rather than Mass market, and decided to pursue luxury brand management from European Business School, London. Work experience with Companies like Michael Kors, Jimmy Choo and Bottega Veneta, the idea for Contemporary Connect was born. Working with Quintessentially and Genesis made her realize the scope for growth of companies in India was huge and all they needed was a guiding hand. Contemporary Connect is one of the few companies in India that has partner agencies in Paris and London, and works with a client base as diverse as Private Chartered Jets to Fashion Designers like Manish Arora. With a young team, and an office that has progressed from her Bedroom to Connaught Place, Meher with her strategies of being more aggressive and versatile will invite you over for a beer and walk away with your contract. -
Mira Kulkarni
Mira Kulkarni graduated in Fine Arts from Stella Maris College, Chennai. With interests varying from painting in watercolours, journalism, organic plants and herbal culture, she has been exposed to the Ayurvedic way to life early in life having a home in the Tehri Garhwal region of Uttaranchal which is the Ayurvedic hub in India.
She used her knowledge of Ayurveda and natural products to source local herbs, oils and medicinal roots from the Tehri Garhwal region for many years which were then made in Ashrams according to ancient Ayurvedic formulations. She had realized a gap in the market for user-friendly Ayurvedic products as against the traditional Ayurvedic products available, which were too strongly scented and though effective, not very pleasant to use.
Mrs. Kulkarni worked for many years with Vaids and modern Biochemists to produce a range of products, which while keeping the inherent properties of Ayurveda intact, are wonderfully scented and pleasurable to use. The products range from handmade soaps made with pure essential oils and natural spring water to sensual body oils which are not only delightful to use, but actually work to firm and tone the body, to many high performance facial care products based on traditional Ayurvedic recipes.
In 2008, Forest Essentials formed a strategic alliance with Estee Lauder Companies where the latter acquired a minority stake in the brand Forest Essentials. This formed a relationship of great significance in the India beauty market, being the first Indian company to have interest from a global beauty conglomerate of that size and pedigree.
As a successful entrepreneur and leader, Mrs. Kulkarni has been repeatedly honoured with prestigious awards and commendations including, Fortune India’s ‘Most powerful women in business’ for consecutive years since 2011 – 2016.
About The Brand

Pamela Jane Gerard
Pamela has been teasing tears from the eyes of audience members since she began singing her original brand of poetic, passionate, soul pop over a decade ago. Finding the places where pain and joy collide, Gerrand kindles an unbridled connection to the hearts of listeners with her voice that has been described as ‘angelic, powerful, soulful, soaring…’ Born and raised in Regina, Saskatchewan, the heart of the Canadian prairies, Pam´s roots are evident in the expansiveness of her voice, and the strength at the core of her lyrics. Her lineage includes a long line of lawyers and poets; seeking justice and beauty is in her blood. Her music is intensely personal, and invitingly universal, and her original songs have been experienced as “uncommonly moving” and “exquisitely forged from the crucible of our common frailties”. Drawing inspiration from the greatest song crafters of all time such as Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Peter Gabriel, Annie Lennox, Paula Cole, and Sarah McLachlan, Gerrand believes in the power of a song to become a touchpoint for deep connection, conversation and transformation. Pamela has been making music since her kindergarten teacher noticed her passion for singing and encouraged the family to get her an instrument. She graduated from that first xylophone and ukelele to piano, and has been singing for most of her life, in genres ranging from broadway/operetta to country/folk, world/new age to pop/contemporary.

In addition, she has successfully garnered the support of various government officials at all levels to broaden the scope of women’s role in local democracy as well as bridge the gap between the marginalized, poor and their government. Rita’s journey to stand up for women’s rights began with her work with women prisoners in India and the deep recognition that gender-based violence against women, poverty and inadequate access and control of resources were just some of the causes for the low status of women in the country. Rita was on the team which set up India’s first women’s non-governmental organization, the Centre for Women and Development Studies. This phase in her life gave her an opportunity to live in villages of India for 7 years and work with local communities on issues of gender equity and development. -
Reena Singh
Reena Singh was the founder member of "International Institute of Reflexology Management "(IIRM) Bangalore, India.She have been actively involved with holistic healthcare since 1997, conceptualizing and conceiving natural remedies by developing homemade products from therapeutic herbs and spices for various health and skin problems. The products have been well received by friends, family and their connections at large with documented positive results. In the recent past talks with CFTRI for undertaking the research work for my Diabetic product is taking shape. The 2 years spent in coordinating "International Business for Fortis HealthCare", Bangalore offered her an experience of the Corporate life, with a practical feel of its extensive learning. Most of the journey was taken on the chair though the computer which brought the never ending and consistent knee and back pain along with it. The long working hours with a static posture and limited movement were the culprit. Yet it was a blessing in disguise as I undertook the sabbatical break to heal myself in ITM school, Chiangmai, Thailand. A new dimension of education was set in with me undergoing a graduation course, becoming a "Certified Advanced Practioner and Teacher Trainer" In Ancient Thai Therapies along with learning the other Eastern and Western modalities of massage therapies. I am actively engaged in developing the educational status of IIRM. I'm an Alumnus of "Chaudhry Charan Singh Agricultural University, Hissar, Haryana with a graduation degree in the faculty of Home sciences, a masters degree in Public Administration from Punjab University, Chandigarh. Graduation and master degrees in Alternative system of healing from Kolkata. The various professional roles came along with extensive education and experience imbibed with Sevabhav, excellence and precision. At IIRM , The Dr. Shivago way is our guiding principle to conceive and craft a beautifully designed course for the holistic healers as Yoga instructors, Reiki and Pranic Healers, Masseuses, Physiotherapists, nurses or anyone who is interested in learning Ancient Thai Therapies, Nuad Bo Raan-Northern style. Our physical being needs a renewal of its energies. My vision is of creating such an Institute IIRM in India which gives direction, shape and identity to the therapists to what we call "The IIRM way". Dr. Shivago was the physician of Lord Buddha. The IIRM way creates and prepares the students with a comprehensive learning ecosystem enabling them to give their clients a session of "Healing with a Feeling". Our approach to your session receiving goes beyond just physical health to a perfectly balanced care of mind, body and spirit. Our courses are designed to enhance and promote holistic wellness of the student, making his or her touch a social culture valued service. -
Ripandeep Kaur
She is always sophisticated in her manner; her perfect long hair and her big expresive kohl rimmed eyes set off by the occasional bindi, the size of a thumbprint, add to a serene appearance. Ripandeep Kaur's stall frame commands the place that she is in. Her voice is measured and her words well paced as she begins to speak about things in general. From society, to kitty parties to saving the girl child; everthing finds a place in her conversation as she tries to balance out every accusation against her for choosing glamour to promote a social cause. She's an independent woman and believes that those who have the opportunity to obtain financial freedom should do everything in their power to do so. So there are women who don't make the best of what they've got? There are so many women, who, inspite of being privileged are not able to do what they can.... she rues. I've seen so many of my contemporaries who studied with me not doing anything in spite of being educated and talented. The city is full of bright and beautiful women and they spend their time at kitty parties. You'll see them decked up in the best attire and yet when you speak to them and try to decipher their purpose in life you're left wanting for so much... Ripandeep admits that while this ignorance and emptiness may run through the society in strong currents there are some women who are purpose driven and don't rely on their jewels and their snazzy clothes to be noticed... for the others, she says, they somehow seem content in their golden cages. Carefully bringing her to the subject of bringing the likes of former Miss Iran and other beauty queens to further the cause of her social endeavor, she ardently gives and example... when there is a child who needs a surgery; you can't wait for people's hearts to change! If people feel obliged to help if they see a pretty face then that solves that little child's purpse so why not go ahead with that plan? -

Even though Sampling Research grew leaps and bound, I was unsure about its scale and felt, she cant take this to the next level. She wanted to do something in Healthcare space and from consumer side. She started looking at pain points that patients face in India, and founded Medimojo in 2015. -

Shari Tucker
Shari is a 30-something woman on a self-discovery journey. She currently work as a travel agent with TPI (Travel Professionals International) and working her way around the world. That means she travel all the time, but continue to take care of her clients from wherever she is in the world. Shari also a travel writer and professional photographer, so she have a lot on the go! Sounds like a dream right?
As a successful photographer in Nova Scotia, She had a good life, a house and new car … Life was good, until it wasn’t. Most people think that if we travel and see poverty that we come home appreciating all of the material things we have. For her, it was the opposite. After coming home from Ecuador and Peru, she understood that she was working too hard to pay for ‘things’ that she didn’t really care about and that living more simply would be more satisfying. So, she went on a quest to live more simply, more balanced and more fulfilled. She took a job at an office as a travel agent and after becoming tired of the office, became a home based agent. A couple of years later, shari sold her home, her car and her possessions. Shari paid off all of her debts and then began to travel, debt free. A few years later she is still on the same path … it’s not easy but she do believe it is more fulfilling than the life she had before.
Now, she spend her money on experiences rather than material items. She have a worldly education, street smarts and an appreciation for cultures that are considerably different from North America. She have learned to speak Spanish, confronted her fears of flying, surfing and diving (haven’t conquered her fear of spiders or cockroaches yet though!). Shari have great friends from around the world and wherever she lay her head is home. https://www.facebook.com/ShariTuckerPhotoAndAdventures/photos/a.675162732549782.1073741825.674982262567829/1023037777762274/?type=3&theater

A true heroine, having traversed a path riddled with setbacks, this passionate and focused woman has risen from humble beginnings to over come the odds and transform her life. Born in the Middle East, Tahani was raised in a refugee camp faced with adversity from an early age that would have defeated many. Despite her circumstances, her entrepreneurial spirit struck when she was very young and her drive and creativity inspired her to venture into various projects. The sheer strength of Tahani's self-belief enabled her to see continued success when she immigrated to Canada. There she broke gender taboos by emerging as a highly accomplished figure in a traditionally male dominated industry and becoming the female role model that ambitious woman so often seek. Regardless of what she does, Tahani Aburaneh’s determination stems from the clarity in her driving force, which is to make positive transformations (in lives, businesses, and land). Tahani is the founder of the Elite Real Estate Agent Training SIAC (Savvy Investor Agent Certification). SIAC is Canada’s first investor-agent training that’s taught by an agent for agents.

She has shared stages with other prominent people in the real estate, motivation and entrepreneurial industries including Don R Campbell, Debbie Travis, Tosca Reno, Bruce Croxon (Dragon’s Den) and David Chilton (The Wealthy Barber). The true value of Tahani's success story is not in singing the merits of achieving accolades or being the recipient of many awards. Rather, her story should be seen as a true demonstration of how every average individual can achieve financial independence. She reveals the “human side” of real estate. Tahani's life is a powerful testimony illustrating how being focused on helping others and living your passion can reward you more than you can image. -

Travis Jessop
Travis is an Author, Coach and Master Builder.
He entered the construction industry in his early teens and had already earned his contractor’s license shortly after his eighteenth birthday. He has built several multi-million dollar construction businesses from the ground up, by building stunning custom homes and beautiful timber structures.
Travis has overcome many challenges in life such as divorce, bankruptcy and death. Growing up in a polygamous family, he was born to his father’s third wife as his 19th child. This very strict culture stifled his ability to seek and accept his true spiritual and emotional self. Dramatic transformation was sparked by the tragic loss of his two year old son, which spurred his dedication to helping others overcome challenges as well as to find the gifts hidden within heartbreaking loss.
Travis understands the importance of honoring the lives of loved ones who have passed on while also allowing ourselves to heal from the devastating guilt and pain of surviving their death. He loves sharing with others the incredible relationship he has developed with his deceased son today and the countless gifts he has found in his personal losses. Travis is a powerful voice and advocate for human rights. -

When her parents managed to send her to Pakistan to study, Andeisha spent six years living in a hostel that was based at a refugee camp. While studying in the refugee camp, she made the decision to tutor other Afghani women and children who had no place to learn. In 2002, Andeisha moved to Islamabad to continue her education at the university level. While studying in Islamabad, she began working with a local Afghan community, first as a teacher, and later as administrator and spokesperson of an Afghan school. Also while living in Islamabad, Andeisha became engaged with a non-profit that founded the Child Sponsorship Program in conjunction with the U.S. based charity, Charity Help International. Upon the program’s inception, Andeisha was named Program Coordinator.

In addition to providing children a safe and nurturing environment, Andeisha’s AFCECO instills important leadership values of tolerance and an appreciation for education in Afghanistan’s future generations.

Mira Kulkarni
Mira Kulkarni graduated in Fine Arts from Stella Maris College, Chennai. With interests varying from painting in watercolours, journalism, organic plants and herbal culture, she has been exposed to the Ayurvedic way to life early in life having a home in the Tehri Garhwal region of Uttaranchal which is the Ayurvedic hub in India. She used her knowledge of Ayurveda and natural products to source local herbs, oils and medicinal roots from the Tehri Garhwal region for many years which were then made in Ashrams according to ancient Ayurvedic formulations. She had realized a gap in the market for user-friendly Ayurvedic products as against the traditional Ayurvedic products available, which were too strongly scented and though effective, not very pleasant to use. Mrs. Kulkarni worked for many years with Vaids and modern Biochemists to produce a range of products, which while keeping the inherent properties of Ayurveda intact, are wonderfully scented and pleasurable to use. The products range from handmade soaps made with pure essential oils and natural spring water to sensual body oils which are not only delightful to use, but actually work to firm and tone the body, to many high performance facial care products based on traditional Ayurvedic recipes. In 2008, Forest Essentials formed a strategic alliance with Estee Lauder Companies where the latter acquired a minority stake in the brand Forest Essentials. This formed a relationship of great significance in the India beauty market, being the first Indian company to have interest from a global beauty conglomerate of that size and pedigree. As a successful entrepreneur and leader, Mrs. Kulkarni has been repeatedly honoured with prestigious awards and commendations including, Fortune India’s ‘Most powerful women in business’ for consecutive years since 2011 – 2016. About The Brand Forest Essentials is an Authentic traditional, Luxury Ayurvedic skin care Brand with its foundations in the ancient science of Ayurveda.

Dr. Reiko Abe
I have been involved in various overseas projects, starting from Norway Undersea Tunnel Project, Taiwan Shinkansen (bullet train) project, Qatar National Master Plan Study, Delhi Metro India and Bangalore Metro Projects, Kiev Metro Projects Ukraine and many others, currently working for Jakarta Metro, Indonesia. Especially from 2007 I was involved in large-scale yen loan projects in India as an expert in charge of quality control of underground construction. In India, there are many problems that are unimaginable to happen in Japan. This is exactly why we can show our strength as consultants. Although it is important to complete the project by making full use of technology, it is also our task to convey the importance of not only the technology but also the maintenance and management. In addition, although India is rather acquisitive in learning new technology, many places are unconcerned about the safety management and environmental improvement. Japan is a world-class country for safety and environmental management; we are also responsible for the important task to continue to teach it. Furthermore, I was appointed to be the President of OC Global India’s office since October 1st, 2014. Isn’t it a rare opportunity for a woman to be the president in this field? In our company, even though there is no precedent, if a person is considered qualified, there is the chance to press forward. I have used this chance to let myself grow. In India, there are many large-scale projects of roads and energy-related such as railway. Indian Subsidiaries are planning to hire more than 100 local engineers for Dedicated Freight Corridor Project and I am in charge of leading this organization. Moreover, we shall also strive in getting new projects and exploring new fields. Here in India, difficulties and challenges are back-to-back. I am looking for fellow challengers whom are interested in this large market, India. -

'Prior to joining the Foreign Service Programme (FSP) I was working for the Seychelles Government at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the International Relations Division, where I was responsible for both the bilateral and multilateral dossiers. I mostly covered African countries and such multilateral organisations as the African Union and the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO).' 'I was also responsible for processing all requests for candidatures - important positions in international organisations decided upon by member governments - whereby I prepared recommendations for our Ministers and President on how to respond to these requests. I will resume my duties there once I am done with the FSP.' 'I first learned of the Foreign Service Programme from my Minister who had himself heard about it from the British High Commissioner in Seychelles. After researching it I was deeply intrigued by its rich curriculum targeting imperative issues in the field I work in. And it is considered one of the most prestigious diplomatic practice courses on offer. I felt to participate in it would be a privilege. Despite having a first degree that covered many themes in International Relations, I felt I didn't have the practical skill set for working in International Relations, and the FSP offered me a pathway for acquiring these skills.' -
