YFLO Kolkata

Chairperson's Message

Dear friends,

It is with immense gratitude, excitement, and a deep sense of responsibility that I step into the role of Chairperson of YFLO Kolkata for 2025-26. As a community of dynamic and inspiring women under 40, we are united by our shared passion for rewriting rules, redefining success, and laughing loudly together.

This year at YFLO Kolkata we aim to bring a variety of learning, engaging, and experiential events that will inspire personal growth, spark meaningful connections, and create unforgettable moments for each one of us.

But none of this can happen without YOU – our members are the heart and soul of the organization. I invite you to get involved, whether by joining a committee, attending an event, or simply connecting with fellow members. Together, we can make this year one of growth, empowerment, and lasting impact.

I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible at our upcoming events. In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly should you have any ideas, questions, or suggestions.

Here’s to an incredible year ahead— shining brighter when we shine together.

Warm regards,

Ankita Chitlangia

Dear Friends,

It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I extend my warmest greetings to each and every one of you as the Chairperson of YFLO Kolkata. It is an honour to lead such a distinguished organization with a rich legacy of 17 years in empowering women and fostering their growth.

At YFLO Kolkata, we are not just a community, but a force of change committed to uplifting and empowering women from all walks of life. With a robust member base of over 600 strong and dynamic women, we stand as a beacon of inspiration and support for one another. As we embark on this journey together, I am excited to share my vision for 2024-25.

The motto of FICCI Ladies organisation for 41 years has been POWER TO EMPOWER – which in itself is the most powerful thing one can do as a woman, as an organisation. As a society and as a nation! Coming from a line of powerful women who have led this organisation, I feel truly empowered with the knowledge and experience I’ve had being part of YFLO since the past 12 years. The capacity to impart and share knowledge, resources and more so time of resilience and prosperity.

We aim to create a vibrant platform that celebrates the diverse talents, aspirations, and achievements of women in Kolkata. Through a series of engaging events, thought-provoking initiatives, and impactful collaborations, we will strive to provide opportunities for personal and professional growth, networking, and mentorship.

Together, we will break barriers, challenge stereotypes, and pave the way for a more inclusive and equitable society. I firmly believe that by harnessing the collective power and potential of our members, we can create meaningful change not only within our community but also in the larger world around us.

Together, we will inspire, uplift, and transform lives.
I look forward to embarking on this exciting journey with you all.

Warm regards,
