‘Women need not fear anything in their journey of life, career’

 “Women should not fear of anything they face in their journey of career and life,” said Colonel Poonam Devgan.  

Speaking at 18^th empowerment and entrepreneurship conference ‘Wecon 2025’ organised by Women Entrepreneurs (WE), a wing of Tamil Nadu Chamber of Commerce and Industry, here on Friday, she said that women who were once hesitant to enter certain fields excelled in the same fields now.  

“This is not just the evolution of time but also due to the efforts, confidence and willpower developed by the women that have helped them accomplish the goal,” she added.  

While she was the best example of what she said, Ms. Poonam Devgan noted that through hard work and the dream every other woman in the country could reach heights.  

N. Jegatheesan, president, Tamil Nadu Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said that women were making an indelible mark in every sector, starting from business, banking, engineering, medicine, IT, law to defence and sports. 

“Though the opportunities for women are widening they do not get them that easily. Those getting the chances are utilising them to their best,” he added. 

Rajakumari Jeevagan, Chairperson, WE, speaking on the successful entrepreneurs, said that women who had registered their success in business field dared to step out of their comfort zone.  

“The daringness which they have developed through the struggles has made them unstoppable,” she added.  

Ms. Poonam Devgan was awarded the WE-Agniputhiri title and motivational speaker Bharathi Baskar was awarded WE-Astalakshmi title.
