Zubia Mansoor

I’m currently a third year student of Statistics Honours at St. Xavier’s University, Kolkata. I was born and brought up in the City of Joy. Needless to say I’m an adventure enthusiast. Blessed with a curious mind and inquisitive spirit, I have always exploited every opportunity to explore the new.
Born to a highly educated family, an inherent urge to perform well in academia was always there. This subsequently led to being in the top positions at both ICSE and ISC levels. Hailing from a long line of doctors and engineers, I’m the first in my family to deviate and pursue my passion for Economics and Statistics. As a strong advocate of feminism and a vocal debater, I contribute regularly to the field by participating in workshops, discussions and seminars.
I’m a member of the Placement Cell, Entrepreneurship Development Cell and the Editorial Board of Science Association of St. Xavier’s University, Kolkata.
As a philanthropist, I have assumed the role of a NGO representative at “Kolkata Gives” and of a public outreach officer at Child Rights and You.
Women Economic Forum has played a pivotal role in shaping my personality. I was a speaker at WEF Kolkata, 2017 and Annual WEF Delhi, 2017. I had the privilege of taking up sensitive topics of discussion namely Positive Impact of Education on Society and Economic Power of Women.
