President’s Message

Dear Friends,

It is an absolute honour for me to take up the mantle as the 40 th National President of FICCI Ladies Organisation. I am humbled to accept this office, an office occupied by 39 leaders before me, who have left an indelible mark and large shoes to fill.

Many years ago, my tryst with FLO began, at FLO Coimbatore in 1992, when Ms. Indira Dutt opened the Chapter there. Fast forward, moved to Chennai, and stepped into the role of the Chairperson of Chennai Chapter in 2016-17. And now, and I am fortunate enough to be leading this prestigious organisation in its 40th year.

I am proud to be part of that organisation that stands committed to promoting entrepreneurship and professional excellence among women.

At a time when India is steadily moving forward from the path of ‘women development to women-led development’, the role that FLO plays has become even more critical. Our endeavours towards empowering ‘Nari Shakti’ and recognizing their immense contribution in nation building continues and we will strive to move forward in this direction with determined steps.

Taking the vision of FLO forward, my focus during would be to transform the power of woman’s voices into forward thinking economic initiatives by changing perceptions and influencing policies.

With the theme “LET’s RISE”, the primary objectives will be
- To grow and sustain an effective organization.
- To inspire and nurture the entrepreneurial spirit.
- To support women’s professional and personal development through networking, education, and training to be a catalyst for community development.

To enable this, a four-pronged approach has been laid out for this year, that will focus on- Women’s Education & Skill Development, Women Led Business, Legal & Policy Advocacy and Women in Leadership Roles.

Engage, Enrich, Express and Effect are the four cornerstones of the 40th year that I have envisioned for FLO.

As I accept this office, I am ready to begin my walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the planners and the doers. And they are my team.

With them is my next step, our next step.... Together we can!

I look forward for an exciting journey ahead and I am sure with all your blessings and kind co-operation, we will together grow with FLO!!

If you have an idea, suggestion, comment, improvement, or any thought relevant to FLO please contact me, any of our leadership team. If you want to make a difference, join us in our journey!

Best Regards

Sudha Shivkumar

President
